Learn how to cook a traditional Caprese 3 course meal from a local Capri chef using homegrown produce and recipes passed down through the family for generations.
Our classes are for lovers of authentic
Italian cooking who have a passion for all things Caprese!
Our chefs demonstrate how to make the dishes in both private and group cooking classes. Private classes enable our guests to participate in a more hands-on culinary experience as guests will largely create their own dishes from start to finish (subject to safety and hygiene requirements).
The cooking component of our group classes is more demonstration focused with hands-on guest participation where possible. Guests are free to roam the garden and pick their own produce directly from the organic vegetable garden or fruit trees in both our private and group experiences.
