9 tours
These are the 9 best Cheese Tastings in Italy. Each one carries its price, its running time and the detail that actually decides it, so you can pick and get on with the rest of the trip.
A small-group farm day in Sorrento with farm animals, wine, olive oil, limoncello, pizza-making, mozzarella tasting, and lunch included.
“An amazing day, everyone was lovely, the food great and the wine spectacular. The farm is a little piece of paradise.”
Sorrento Farm by Tuk Tuk is a half-day lemon, cheese, and limoncello tour with tastings and hands-on Neapolitan pizza making.
“THE BEST! This is my third time doing this tour and somehow, it gets better every single year. The food is unbelievably fresh, the hosts are warm and welcoming, and you can truly taste the love that goes into everything. The highlight for me is always the truffle olive oil lol it’s something you simply can’t find back home in the States. If you’re coming to Sorrento, don’t miss this experience. I’m already bringing another group next year!”
Family-run Sorrento farm tour with mozzarella spinning, hands-on pizza, farm wine, and a real farmhouse lunch with limoncello.
“We loved everything from the informal walk and learning about all the farm has to offer, lemon trees, olive trees, cherry trees and the animals, the pizza making was fun and delicious, amazing cheese making demo and tasting. Their homemade wine was delicious and free flowing and their delicious homemade limoncello ended a perfect day. The hosts were fabulous, a real family affair. We would encourage everyone to participate in this tour.”
See mozzarella made at a working Masseria in Ceglie Messapica, then enjoy a generous cheese tasting with Apulian wine.
“Informative tour of a working dairy and cheese making facility with deep historical roots. Culminating in a very generous tasting of the farm products. A morning well spent.”
Taste Parmigiano Reggiano and Parma ham at the source in small groups, plus optional trattoria lunch and traditional balsamic tasting in Parma.
“The cheese making was really interesting and the hand making was also great. Our guide was excellent.”
Parma Parmigiano Reggiano factory tour with curd-to-wheel lessons, plus tasting and local wine. Small group, 2.5 hours.
“We had a great time on the tour. Our driver was Gianfranco and he was so friendly and funny. As soon as we got on the van, he was giving suggestions and helpful tips while staying in Parma. The tour itself is very interesting. There is so much information but not too much where it’s repetitive. You see from the beginning to the end of the cheese making process and was the perfect length of time. Would highly suggest this tour if staying in Parma”
Small-group wine tasting in Como’s city center, pairing 4 wines with prosciutto, cheeses, and buffalo mozzarella, led by a sommelier.
“This was an awesome experience. The hosts were extremely knowledgeable about wine. We learned so much about wines and wine and food pairing. Our tasting included 4 glasses of wine with cheese, meats and grapes. Highly recommend! So fun too!”
Make fresh truffle pasta and tiramisù in Florence with a personal chef, Tuscan wine, and a small group setting for up to 15.
“We had a wonderful time making pasta and eating it! Valentino was our cooking class teacher and he was great - very funny and friendly!”
Pet calves, make burrata and mozzarella by hand at Masseria Seppunisi in Puglia, then enjoy a wine-and-cheese aperitif in a small group.
“Interesting guide that explains us the process of cheese making. We could also make one burrata by hand. The meal offered at the end was good, with a glass of wine.”
