What to expect
The guide collects you at a central meeting point and leads you through Sorrento's network of pedestrian alleys, pausing to explain the town's development and how residents have historically cultivated the region's famous Sfusato lemons. You'll climb modest gradients and cross open piazzas. At the limoncello workshop, the guide explains each stage—from harvest to maceration to bottling—before pouring glasses for you to sample neat or diluted. The atmosphere is intimate; you're watching active production, not a museum display.
