About this activity

Spend a full day at a working agriturismo in the Irpinia countryside, learning to make authentic Neapolitan pasta, fried pizza, and traditional meat dishes from a local chef, with wine pairings guided by a sommelier throughout the experience.

Join our cooking class at the agriturismo. You must think about how cooking the best maccaronara, fried pizza, chicken rolls and il dolcetto del vasetto. Don't worry for wine. There are many bottles waiting for you...

Highlights

  • ✓Master handmade pasta (including cacio e pepe variations) from a Neapolitan cook
  • ✓Learn the art of fried pizza preparation (pizza fritta) in a traditional setting
  • ✓Prepare slow-cooked chicken rolls and regional specialities
  • ✓Wine education and tastings paired with each course from a sommelier
  • ✓Meal in a rural agriturismo with countryside views
  • ✓Small-group or private setting with personalised instruction

Insider tips

  • ★Wear comfortable clothes and bring an apron—you'll be actively cooking and your hands will get messy with dough
  • ★Arrive hungry; the meal portions are generous and wine flows freely, so don't eat before coming
  • ★Ask your sommelier about Irpinia's Greco and Fiano whites—lesser-known gems that pair beautifully with regional dishes
  • ★The agriturismo is rural; confirm transport from Naples (taxi, rental car, or arrange in advance) as public transit is limited

Good to know

  • •Duration is 8 hours including transport, cooking, and meal; plan for a full day commitment
  • •Bring comfortable shoes for walking around the agriturismo grounds
  • •Vegetarian/dietary adjustments may be possible—confirm at booking
  • •Class is hands-on; limited standing time but some mobility required for kitchen work
  • •Private or small-group options available; group size affects intimacy and instruction pace

Food enthusiasts and home cooks seeking authentic Italian techniques beyond tourist cooking classesWine lovers interested in lesser-known Southern Italian varietals and regional food pairingShore excursion seekers from Naples wanting an immersive countryside experience away from city crowdsSmall groups or couples looking for a full-day culinary adventure with hands-on participation
