Summary: Highly recommend going here for a tour, oil tasting and cooking class. This experience was amazing! I went with my partner and we both were so happy with the standard of service and teaching. The olive oil tasting is delicious, we had an entire box sent back home we loved it so much. Our one on one cooking class was an experience we will never forget and the food tasted delicious. Our chef/teacher was so talented and patient with us. They picked us up and dropped us at our hotel. Service 10/10. Would go back next time in Sorrento and recommend to all my friends and family.
