About this tour
Spend eight and a half hours exploring Campania's food and wine heartland on a private tour departing from Positano. Travel through the Avellino countryside visiting small-scale producers—orchards, curing houses, chocolate makers, and wineries—to watch how olive oil, cured meats, chocolate and wine come together. Taste your way through each stop, buy what catches your palate, and sit down to a three-course lunch at a family-run restaurant before finishing with premium wines on a vineyard terrace.

What to expect
Your guide meets you at your hotel and drives you into rolling countryside dotted with small producers. At each stop—typically four or five throughout the day—you'll walk through working facilities, chat with owners about their methods, then taste finished products. The pace is leisurely; expect 20–30 minutes per location plus short drives between them. Lunch arrives mid-afternoon at a casual neighbourhood trattoria where you'll eat what locals eat. The final wine tasting happens late afternoon on a terrace overlooking vineyards, giving you time to ask questions and linger over glasses.
Good to know
Mention dietary needs when booking. Wear comfortable walking shoes for farm visits. You'll taste wine, so plan accordingly if driving afterwards. Bring a small bag or empty suitcase if you plan to buy; producers sell direct at reasonable prices.
