Discover the true heartbeat of Sorrento by stepping off the largely beaten tourist path for a few hours. Immensely popular, this food experience offers a truly unique and authentic insight in to delicious local fare and everyday life in Sorrento. Strolling through a residential area accompanied by a knowledgeable host, you will be introduced to time-honoured restaurants. Savouring generous portions of several dishes, you will have the added bonus of learning a little about the traditions behind each one.
All dishes are locally sourced and utilise only seasonal produce, and while what's on the 'menu' may vary, traditional foods such as 'parmigiana di melanzane' are accompanied by acclaimed local wine. Homemade desserts from family recipes and of course limoncello bring this lovely 'famiglia Italiana’ style culinary experience to a satisfactory close.
* NOTE : Venues on this tour are situated closely together. We walk between them but distances are not far. Food is our focus.

Every trip my wife and I take abroad we always plan for a local food tour. Its our way to experience a true emersion into local culture. After all isn't a culture greatly influenced by its cuisine.
After doing some research I chose the Gourmet Girls and am so pleased we did.
Since the girls live locally we were treated to specialties from small businesses away from the typical tourist areas.
The girls mixed historical tid bits presented with such genuine passion, humour and love for their local community.
Please dont miss this experience. Thank you girls for such a memorable experience.

I had the best time on this tour. These ladies are so kind and well versed on Italian food culture. The food and wines were all amazing! I highly recommend doing at least one of their tours, if not both. I’m sad I wasn’t able to do the dinner tour this trip, but just an excuse to come back!

This was one of the best food tours we have ever done …and we have done quite a few. Vanessa and Lee are just good crack, the food was amazing and the wine was free flowing. A lovely way to explore Sorrento, meet like minded people, taste great food and laugh ….when we return to Sorrento we will definitely book again. We cannot recommend this tour highly enough. If I could score 10 then I would

We had an excellent lunch time tour visiting four different restaurants/bars. Vanessa and Lee were so friendly and were great hosts and very knowledgeable about Italian life and food culture. The food, wine, limoncello and coffee we had on the tour were wonderful and there was a lot of it! The tour is highly recommended - I also recommend you don't eat breakfast!

We had the most wonderful food tour with Lee and Vanessa. Both women are so warm, friendly, and funny--the laughs began within the first few moments and didn't stop for three hours. The food was fantastic, we met wonderful new people, and gained so much knowledge about food and culture in Sorrento. We even returned to some of the spots later in the week to enjoy more of the delicious food and drinks.
I have already recommended this tour to friends travelling to Italy, and I would do another tour with the Gourmet Girls myself if I return to this part of the country! Thanks so much for a wonderful experience--it was a highlight of our time in Sorrento.
