About this tour
Step into a third-generation limoncello producer in Amalfi and make your own batch under the maker's guidance. This 80-minute session teaches you the family's time-honoured technique for extracting citrus flavour and balancing alcohol, then you'll taste their range of limoncello, cream liqueurs, and pistachio variants alongside freshly baked lemon cake and pralines. Walk away with genuine knowledge of what separates a proper artisanal spirit from mass-produced alternatives.

What to expect
You'll arrive at a working factory in central Amalfi and meet your host, who'll walk you through each stage of limoncello production—from lemon selection and infusion to bottling. Expect to handle fresh fruit, measure spirits, and understand the chemistry of what's happening. The second half shifts to tasting: you'll sample the finished limoncello alongside cream liqueurs and local delicacies. This isn't a passive tour; you're actively involved, asking questions and getting your hands slightly sticky.
