About this tour
Venture into Irpinia, Campania's lesser-known wine region, on this eight-hour private tour from Sorrento led by a sommelier-driver. Skip the familiar Tuscan circuits and instead explore three DOCG estates producing Fiano di Avellino, Greco di Tufo, and Taurasi. Walk between vines, taste from the barrel, then move through artisanal cheese and cured-meat producers where you'll see production firsthand. Includes wine tastings, three regional cheeses, and gelato.
Highlights
- DOCG wine tasting in working vineyards with barrel sampling
- Touch grapes and smell unfinished wine during vineyard walks
- Ricotta and caciocavallo tasting at traditional cheese farm
- Live prosciutto and salami production viewing
- Sommelier-driver commentary throughout journey
- Three-flavour gelato tasting included
What to expect
Your sommelier-driver collects you from Sorrento and drives south into the Irpinia hills. At the first winery, you'll walk the vineyard rows, touch the fruit, and taste wines directly in the production space—including a barrel sample of wine still maturing. The second stop is a cheese operation that functions like a working farm; expect to taste freshly made ricotta and caciocavallo alongside the cheesemakers. The final visit is a salami factory where production happens in real time. You'll taste the region's celebrated prosciutto and cured meats. Between stops, your driver shares food and wine knowledge.
Good to know
Lunch is not included, though tastings cover wine, cheese, cured meats, and gelato. Wear comfortable walking shoes for vineyard terrain. Dietary requirements (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free) must be flagged when booking. Infant seats available; strollers welcome.
