What to expect
You'll meet your guide at the nursery and receive a fitted e-bike and safety briefing. The ride itself is gentle—the e-assistance means minimal physical effort, even on slight inclines. You'll stop frequently to walk among the lemon trees, hearing stories about cultivation methods passed down through generations. The grower will explain soil conditions, irrigation, and pest management specific to Sorrento's microclimate. After the ride, settle in for the tasting: sharp, herbaceous limoncello and thick, fragrant jam. The whole experience keeps you moving without exhausting you.
Good to know
Public transport reaches the nursery easily, so arrange your own arrival. Declare any food allergies beforehand. The tour isn't suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have serious heart or lung concerns. Bring sunscreen and a water bottle. Three hours includes riding and standing time.
