What to expect
Your guide collects you from your hotel and drives through rolling Campanian farmland to a series of small, producer-owned operations. At each stop—whether an olive grove, meat house, chocolate maker or winery—you'll see the actual work involved: pressing, curing, roasting, fermenting. Staff explain their methods plainly, then you taste. Lunch breaks the day midway at a proper local spot serving regional dishes. By afternoon you're in vineyard country tasting wines outdoors. Expect to walk short distances between vehicles and production areas, and to spend genuine time at each location rather than rushing through.
Good to know
Eight and a half hours on your feet and travelling. Note any dietary restrictions when you book—vegetarian, allergies, alcohol limits—so the guide can alert restaurants and producers beforehand. The minivan is air-conditioned. Bring comfortable walking shoes and sunscreen. Gratuities aren't included.
