In the late morning, meet at Piazza Tasso Sorrento, Sorrento’s main square, for your 3-hour food tour. Your passionate local guide will lead you on a leisurely walk through central Sorrento, revealing the southern Italian city’s old-world charm and fantastic culinary delights and traditions.
Savor authentic Sorrentine dishes and sip local libations on your visits to eight specialty food shops, markets and family-owned favorites. Come hungry, as these tastings add up to a very satisfying lunch! As you walk, admire the postcard-worthy cliff side dotted with stacked houses and lemon and olive groves, with majestic Mt Vesuvius as the backdrop.
Your first stop is a local pasticceria, where you’ll try traditional sfogliatelle (a shell-shaped, filled pastry). Follow with a classic Italian panini and pall’e riso, the Neapolitan version of arancini. These fried rice balls are a southern Italy staple.
Visit a family-owned deli market for real buffalo mozzarella, local cheese and salumi (a cured meat, not to be confused with salami). Sample the area’s oldest handcrafted beer, and then savor Sorrento’s famous pasta dish with wine at a local trattoria. You’ll also learn how Sorrento’s famous lemons are turned into limoncello
Your meal concludes with the perfect treat: gourmet gelato! You’ll return to Piazza Tasso Sorrento around 1:30pm with a happy belly.
