What to expect
Italian cooking is intensely regional, and eating well is elevated to an art form. Who better to bring the flavours of Campania to life than a local, prize-winning chef, Mimmo? This is a region with abundant sunshine, fertile soils and the sea on the doorstep. Fresh produce is intensely flavoured and typical dishes are crafted to allow the star ingredients to sing.
Chef Mimmo has created this gastronomic experience to immerse his guests in the simple elegance of Campanian cuisine. You'll start with a tour of Mimmo's garden. With baskets in hand, you'll find out about the variety of fruits and vegetables he grows here, and then select fresh produce to be made into your lunch.
Back in the demo kitchen at the restaurant, your chef will prepare a special meal. This is an educational and interactive experience so roll up your sleeves and get involved - or if you prefer, sit back and watch the magic happen - your carefully selected raw ingredients become an expertly prepared traditional Italian lunch that will be accompanied by qualty local wine.

Herculaneum and Vesuvius Tour with Local Lunch
Wandering around the archaeological site of Herculaneum is just like stepping through an open-air history book. On this tour, you'll visit what remains of this once-thriving seaside town, as well as see Mt Vesuvius – the architect of its destruction. Andrea, one of our local experts, says, 'Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum's deeper burial under volcanic mud resulted in an astounding level of preservation. It's a quieter, more intimate experience'.After Vesuvius's dramatic 79 AD eruption, Herculaneum became a town frozen in time. Now resurrected from its volcanic slumber, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is brimming with stories untold. On a guided tour with trusty headsets, you'll see the haunting boathouses – the sombre final chapters of desperate refugees – and the town's beautifully preserved marble floors, mosaics, and vibrant frescoes. Andrea says, 'Like many Roman towns, Herculaneum had a complex of public baths, which were a hub of daily life. These baths are particularly well-preserved and showcase the complex heating systems and detailed mosaics that adorned their walls and floors'.Lunch will be at a friendly, local restaurant, serving up Italian classics. You'll then head up the mighty Mount Vesuvius – the only active volcano in mainland Europe. With its eye-catching panoramic views over the Mediterranean Sea and Naples, it's well worth the trip. The surrounding terrain, sculpted by past eruptions, only adds to the jaw-dropping scenery.
