Andrew_C

Both Gourmet Girls very funny and friendly, introduced us to 4 cool restaurants and wine bars we would never have found otherwise. Food and wine were excellent. Very authentic, restaurants where the G Girls themselves go with their families, so all felt very true to the sought-after “real Sorrento” experience. A really fine evening. Not only would I recommend it, but I’d do it again in a couple of years with friends.

Foodies unite!

Michele_T, Oct 2024

What a fabulous evening! If you’re looking for a way to experience some local food and wines, hear stories of the restaurants and region and meet new friends, do this tour! We went four restaurants, all with amazing food and wine or drinks were served at each. It’s a 3.5 hour culinary delight. Nothing felt rushed and it was just a delightful night in Sorrento. Highly recommend!

The best cooking class ever

The Gourmet Girls were amazing, the food was amazing and the group was amazing! A must when in Sorrento.

Great conversation and food!

Frank_M, Jun 2024

The selection of restaurants for the progressive dinner was outstanding! We had appetizers, and pastas we would not have normally gotten in other restaurants .

An absolute “must do “ in Sorrento

Deb_B, Jun 2024

We have done many food tours in many cities but this one created and hosted by Vanessa and Lee is the best by a country mile. The tour takes in four stops all of which are outside of the “ tourist “ Sorrento and more in the residential area. They are places were they would take their families to eat. The food and wine were outstanding and coupled with the excellant narrative from The Gourmet Girls made an unforgettable experience. We chatted as if we were friends having a night out. We loved it. The tiramisu was incredible , the steak divine and the tapas needs to be eaten to be believed. Beware The Godfather cocktail packs a punch. Thank you ladies and congratulations on what you have created. This is a must do experience and worthy of more than 5*

Fun night out!

Jackie_I, Jun 2024

Very fun night, great selection of venues, food and wine that we wouldn’t have experienced on our own. Highly recommended.

Outstanding ambience, tour leader, and selected restaurants. Vanessa was great in connecting everyone who became family for the evening. We went back to one of the spots after dinner.

Best Food Tour Ever!

The Gourmet Girls are amazing! This is a MUST DO when you are in Sorrento! The vibe was so friendly and fun. Great local restaurants off the main square but still just minutes away. So worth it!

Unforgettable Evening: Gormet Girl's Progressive Dinner in Sorrento

Vueve_C, May 2024

My mom and I had an absolute blast on the Gormet Girl's progressive dinner! It was more than just a meal; it was a one-of-a-kind experience that became a highlight of our entire trip to Sorrento. Each stop featured delicious food, perfectly paired wines, and fascinating stories that brought the local culture to life. Our guides' passion for Sorrento's food, history, and community was contagious, and their humor kept us laughing throughout the night. If you're looking for a unique and memorable way to experience Sorrento's culinary scene and culture, don't miss this tour!

Good food and wine, great fun

Linda_K, Apr 2024

Hosts Vanessa and Lee were engaging, friendly and fun. Food was delicious and well thought out from place to place, and wine pairings appreciated. We loved the evening, the company and the restaurants we visited. So happy we did it.

Fantastic experience

David_P, Oct 2023

This progressive, Sorrento local favorites, dinner experience truly surpassed our every expectation. From the very first tantalizing bite of the bruschetta, which was a perfect symphony of flavors, to the delectably rich Spaghetti adorned with tomato, capers, and olives, and so much more in between - and all paired with the perfect wine, each dish was a revelation. The steak was masterfully cooked, achieving that elusive balance of tenderness and flavor. A meatball with a truffle sauce left David closing his eyes and savoring every bite. Ending to tour with a refreshingly zesty lemon sorbet followed by a sophisticated coffee martini, sealing the meal with a touch of elegance. The communication and post dinner pictures were much appreciated!

Excellent

DENISE_W, Jun 2023

I alway book food tour when I travel …this is by far the best I have ever experienced! Knowledgeable, unique foods and great wine!

Response from Host, Jun 2023

WOW Denise thank you! So happy you enjoyed the evening. Sending love V&L xx

I would do it again tomorrow!

Heather_I, Apr 2023

This was my first food tour and I was a little nervous because my husband and I are foodies and usually do an excellent job at finding local places ourselves. However, it seemed fun so we thought we would try it. It was an incredible experience! All the the stops and dishes were excellent. We even went back to one of the restaurants the next night because we couldn’t stop thinking about how delicious it was. We really enjoyed our small group too. It was fun to talk to other travelers and share stories. We had a lovely evening and would do it again. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, May 2023

Heather thanks so much for this lovely review, it was such a fab evening with you guys, loved meeting you both. Stay well xx

Great for foodies

The ladies who run this are fun and knowledgeable about the region, it’s food and wine, and shows wonderful places for our progressive dinner. We liked one so much we went back for dinner the next night with two of the people we met at the progressive dinner.
