5 Classes & Workshops in Ravello That You Shouldn't Miss
Three miles of twisty mountain roads up from Amalfi, the gorgeous resort of Ravello has been attracting celebrities for centuries, including Richard Wagner, Greta Garbo, Gore Vidal and D.H. Lawrence, who wrote Lady Chatterley’s Lover here. Ravello’s Duomo (Cathedral) and Villa Cimbrone (both 11th century) and Villa Rufolo (13th century) are all magnificent sights. The annual summer Ravello Festival began as a salute to Wagner’s music, but now showcases a wide range of music and arts.

What an adorable family! I heard about this world-famous cooking school in Ravello, on the hills of the picturesque coastline of the Amalfi Coast, that got the prestige because of the adorable, heart-warming Chiara, “the chatterbox”, and her husband Gennaro, “the super chef” by creating stunning, authentic Italian recipes passed down from Mamma Agata. Not only is the food to die for, but the energy of the experience is one of my life’s highlights. If you are planning on a trip there, this is an absolute must! But it books out, so be sure to book in advance. I think with Covid restrictions, you can only book for online classes currently. But when things lift, I've been twice and couldn't recommend anything more if you're visiting the area after an authentic feed. Delizioso!

Spend a very personal day with Chef Vincenzino in Ravello. After many years as chef/owner of a restaurant, he decided to run a cooking school from his home, enjoying the people who love food, and "eat it with the heart and not just the mouth!" You will start with a visit to the little food shops located in the historic alley of Ravello, strolling through the pedestrian road that crosses the village. Along with Vincenzino, who speaks perfect English, you will meet with the owners of the small shops and be shown how the local people choose their fish, special homemade pasta, vegetables, and local and national wines. Together, you will decide what to buy and cook for your lesson. Then it is on to Vincenzino's home, gloriously situated on a clifftop 350 meters above sea level. You will proceed with the hands-on preparation of your lunch, from the starters to the dessert, wine, water and coffee included. Weather permitting, lunch will be served on the terrace to enjoy the spectacular view of the Mediterranean. The day begins between 9-10am and ends after your meal in the afternoon. US$210. per person, minimum two people

Ideal for those who want to have, in one lesson, the basis to start giving the impression of a great cuisine to their dishes. The peculiarity, compared to the theoretical courses, is given by an active participation of the students in the preparation of the entire menu.The lesson begins in the organic garden, where the participants, together with the chef, harvest the vegetables that will then use in the preparation of dishes. Duration: 3 hours approx - Location: typical rustic kitchen.It includes the preparation and tasting of the menu with ¼ bottle of local wine and ½ mineral water

I bought the cookery class as a birthday present for my husband and it was an amazing experience which we will never forget. Vincenzo was a wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable teacher and we have left full of tips and tricks which we will use cooking back home. We had a hands on mozzarella making experience, then picked fresh ingredients from the incredible gardens before preparing our four course meal step by step. We had such a brilliant time and loved chatting to Vincenzo over our delicious meal about his fascinating past and passion for food and Ravello. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.
