Positano’s best workshops dig straight into the heart of local life. The top experiences mix hands-on learning with authentic Italian know-how. Small-group cooking classes (typically 6-8 people) teach the essentials of regional pasta-making and desserts in actual family kitchens. Local ceramic workshops stand out for their intimate settings, where village artisans demonstrate centuries-old painting techniques. I’m especially fond of the morning market tours combined with mozzarella-making demonstrations – they offer a perfect blend of food culture and practical skills. Private wine tastings round out these cultural encounters with expert knowledge of regional varieties. Check out these recommended tours for the most memorable learning experiences in Positano.
