You arrive at a historic stone residence tucked just above Positano’s main beach, where arches, terraces and sea views set the scene for an evening devoted entirely to food and wine. This is no ordinary cooking class: it’s a slow, indulgent 4–5 hour experience designed so guests from around the world can taste a “real Italy” that is seasonal, sustainable and utterly delicious.

You’re welcomed with a glass of chilled Prosecco Millesimato or Bollicina di Franciacorta and introduced to the bespoke menu for the night. There is no fixed script – dishes change daily and are tailored to your palate, with full consideration for dietary requirements and food intolerances. Before the cooking begins, you’re invited into the cellar to select a red wine in line with your preferences, setting the tone for the pairings to come.

The philosophy here is simple and uncompromising: only clean, responsibly sourced ingredients from local farms that avoid pesticides and still follow traditional growing techniques dating back to Roman times. Seasonal vegetables, grains, dairy and olive oil are chosen not just for flavour but for how they interact with the wines.

In the villa’s kitchen, you move from observer to active participant. Led by the chef, you prepare each course step by step, learning techniques and stories behind the recipes as you work. This is “home cooking” in the truest sense: recipes that feel rooted in family and region, elevated by the quality of the ingredients and the precision of the pairings rather than by unnecessary complexity.

Between courses, you explore the extraordinary wine cellar – a passion project built over 30 years and considered one of the most important private collections of grape varietals in southern Italy. Over 9,500 bottles represent around 3,000 labels from 1,673 wineries across the country, including the islands. More than 318 grape varietals are represented, from iconic names like Brunello di Montalcino, Amarone, Primitivo Riserva and Montefalco Sagrantino to rare, lesser-known grapes that almost never appear together in one place. Labels are rotated throughout the season to keep the selection vibrant and diverse.

By the end of the night, you haven’t just enjoyed a beautiful meal with unforgettable views. You’ve cooked real food with your own hands, tasted some of Italy’s most intriguing wines, and gained a deeper understanding of how tradition, seasonality and sustainability can come together at the table. It’s the kind of experience that leaves you with both memories and knowledge – and a new way of thinking about Italian cuisine.
