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.

Our Second Time Around

5.00This is the second time that we have done this progressive lunch tour with the Gourmet Girls. We had our first tour two years ago, booked after listening to Lee on the podcast Untold Italy. She was so charming and fun on that podcast. When we planned our trip to the Amalfi Coast, we booked our first lunch tour, took the SITA bus to Sorrento and had the best time. Both Lee and Vanessa took us to four different restaurants for wine and food and more food and dessert, and it was such a fun time. Fast forward 2 years later, and we booked the progressive lunch tour again, this time with our two friends. Vanessa was away, so it was Lee who led our group. The food was plentiful and delicious, the wine flowed, and there was so much laughter throughout our group of four couples. Lee kept everything fun and had great stories to tell of being transplanted from Scotland to Sorrento, Italy. This tour was truly the highlight of our vacation, both this year and two years ago. Thank you to both Lee and Vanessa for putting together such a fun and memorable experience for us. And we missed you this time Vanessa!

5.00Gourmet Girls – Sorrento Our time with Gourmet Girls in Sorrento ended up being one of those experiences that stays with you long after the trip is over. From the moment we met, it felt less like joining a tour and more like being welcomed by friends who truly love this place and want you to love it too. Every stop had a story, every tasting, wine included felt intentional, and the way they connected the food to the people who make it gave the whole experience real depth. I never felt rushed—just relaxed, engaged, and genuinely cared for. Their warmth, humor, and local insight made the day feel special in a way you can’t manufacture. By the end, I wasn’t just full—I felt like I’d been given a glimpse into the heart of Sorrento. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
You must do this! Great company. Great Food.

5.00Amazing foodie & wine experience. We visited very different places that we would have never found ourselves, and met the owners who were proud to share their stories. Vanessa & Lee were both lovely, and kept us entertained all evening. We have done several foodie tours in many different places, and this was by far the best.

5.00RUN DON’T WALK TO THIS TOUR. If you love food, making friends, and having lots of laugh this is a tour for you! Vanessa and Lee are knowledgeable and engaging. They have partnered with local restaurant owners to bring you an incredible experience. The food and wine were plentiful and can satisfy you for the whole day. Gluten free options were available as well. The restaurants were close to one another and we wrapped up at the pub for some espresso and tiramisu where GF options for dessert were made available.
Perfect experience!

5.00What a treat! The Gourmet Girls progressive lunch in Sorrento was a true highlight of our trip. The two fabulous women who run it are such welcoming, knowledgeable hosts with great local contacts, taking you to authentic spots you might never find on your own. Each stop offered a genuine taste of the local cuisine, and it was lovely to share the experience with others in the group, who came along in the same spirit. The Gourmet Girls gave us a perfectly balanced menu of delicious food, great stories, and fun all the way — don’t miss it!
