What to expect

Your sommelier collects you in a private air-conditioned vehicle and drives you into Irpinia's quiet hills. At the first vineyard, you'll walk the rows, handle the fruit, and taste wines poured fresh from oak. The winery visit includes three glasses paired with explanation of terroir and production methods. Next comes a farmstead cheese producer where ricotta and caciocavallo are made; you'll taste both. The final stop is a working salami factory where you'll observe how Irpinia's prosciutto and other cured meats are produced, then taste two varieties. Throughout, your guide contextualises each stop.
