About this experience
Salerno has a charming, if gritty, individuality, especially around its ostensibly tatty historic centre, where medieval churches and neighbourhood trattorias echo with the addictive bustle of southern Italy.
You will walk around the olive trees and you will admire the vegetable garden with its seasonal harvest. The day will continue with tasting the extra-virgin olive oil with home-made bread, baked in the large wood-burning oven of the house.
You will pick the tools and prepare together the best typical dishes of the Campania tradition, following the recipe. You will live your experience in a breathtaking location, from which you can admire our wonderful coastline and the green hills of Salerno!
During the summer, you will be sitting in the garden, while you will enjoy the warm of the fireplace in the winter cold days and you can end your day tasting what you have prepared with your own hands, accompanying everything with the excellent red wine of our production.
