Amalfi Coast Cooking Vacation and Culinary Tour

A view of Sorrento during an Amalfi Coast cooking vacationSunny southern Italy is one of the most popular destinations for a cooking vacation in Italy, and the Amalfi Coast is its crown jewel. The 40 kilometers of coastline are characterized by a number of stunning towns built between the mountain and the sea.

Add to that amazing food, which you explore during our Amalfi Coast cooking classes and first-class wine, which you can sample on an Amalfi Coast wine tour, and you have the makings of dream vacation.

The Amalfi Coast proper is quite small, including only a handful of towns such as Amalfi, Ravello, and Positano. But most travelers include the nearby Sorrentine Peninsula when exploring the area on an Amalfi Coast food and wine tour, as well as the nearby isle of Capri. Do your tastes run to shopping? There is plenty, including of hig-quality leather products, the area’s famed ceramics, and other decorative arts. Are you more of a relaxed traveler? There is nothing as wonderful as sitting on a terrace and enjoying a glass of wine while staring out over the Mediterranean Sea. Whatever your travel interests, an Amalfi Coast food tour or Amalfi Coast culinary vacation with The International Kitchen will provide the vacation of a lifetime.

The food you will enjoy on our cooking vacations on the Amalfi Coast are typically southern Italian, including homemade pastas, plenty of seafood, freshly made mozzarella, and delicious, sun-drenched produce. The area is also famous for its lemons, which appear in various desserts, sorbets, and of course the famous “limoncello” liqueur.
