    Do NOT pass this by! Chef Carmen is THE BEST!

    My husband and I did a tour with Chef Carmen in 2004 and I was so excited to share the experience with our 3 kids and my parents in 2023! Chef Carmen is a truly amazing person - full of fun, passionate about cooking and life, and her attention to detail is second to none. She made sure we all had a fabulous week - including our kids (ages 10, 14, 17)! My parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary during this trip and she made it a very special night at her restaurant. We only wish we had MORE cooking classes because we enjoyed them so much! Not only did she make cooking fun for everyone, but the food was delicious! We made the best gnocchi, eggplant parm, sea bass, and molten lava cake! And the tours she arranged for us were perfect for our family - she even made sure we had the best driver. You cannot plan a trip to the Naples/Sorrento/Amalfi area without Chef Carmen! She is THE BEST!

    Fabulous Cooking and Touring Experience-Grazie Carmen!

    I found Carmen and Cooking School La Cucina del Gusto by Carmen in an online search and boy am I glad I did. I was looking for a cooking trip to Italy but what we got was an entire experience. I honestly didn't believe the reviews but they were all true! First of all, Carmen took such good care of us. We stayed in a beautiful villa with amazing views. We had private drivers everywhere. We learned to make mozzarella and ricotta, walked through lemon groves, toured Pompeii, had a beautiful lunch at a winery, visited the Amalfi Coast and more. And wait, I haven't told you the best part. We were welcomed by Carmen like family and had two fabulous cooking sessions plus a special dinner. We made gnocchi and ravioli and eggplant parmesan and lots of other fabulous food.. But best of all, we laughed, we danced, we made new friends and had an amazing time. We felt like we were in a movie, it was so special. Our only regret was that we didn't bring our sons with us (22 & 24), so we plan to go back!

    Fun times with Chef Carmen

    This was our second visit with Carmen. The first time was in 2012. It was a fantastic trip and 2022 was just as good. Carmen takes care of everything, including our hotel, many meals, daily excursions to unique and fun places, and of course the cooking classes. My wife is an outstanding cook, I am not. We both had a blast learning from Carmen. The classes were all different and we were exposed to foods we had never experienced. I highly recommend a visit with Carmen. It is perfect for couples, friends and large family groups.

    Cooking with Carmen in Sorrento

    I did this program twice and had as much fun the second time (12 years after the first time). The class is informative, hands on and delicious. The combination of cooking with the tours she arranges for you is the right combination to experience the best of southern Italy. The best word i can use to describe both visits is. FUN. Just try it, one class or three you will love it. Kathy

    6 nights cooking program: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.

    How much does 6 nights cooking program cost?

    +

    Prices start at $4,577 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sorrento usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 6 nights cooking program take?

    +

    Plan for about 144 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sorrento is not rushed.

    Is 6 nights cooking program worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sorrento, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 6 nights cooking program?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 6 nights cooking program suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 144-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 6 nights cooking program?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sorrento can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sorrento and add a light layer if any part of the 144-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 6 nights cooking program start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sorrento within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Sorrento?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Sorrento experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sorrento Farm and Food Experience including Olive Oil, Limoncello, Wine tasting, Pizza School with Wine and Limoncello Tasting in a Local Farm, Authentic Farm Tour with Pizza, Cheese, Wine & Limoncello Tasting. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Sorrento?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Sorrento?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 6 nights cooking program?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Lunch; Dinner; and activities and excursions. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for 6 nights cooking program?

    +
