Escape the crowded tourist paths and dive deep into the heart of Campania’s wine country with our exclusive Private Irpinia Gourmet Tour, departing directly from the enchanting town of Ravello. Forget the famous trails of Chianti; it is time to discover the raw, authentic beauty and prestigious viticulture of Irpinia, a hidden gem for true connoisseurs.
Your 8-hour journey is led by a professional driver and sommelier, ensuring that every sip and story is curated with expertise. Unlike standard tours, this experience is immersive: you will walk through lush vineyards, touch the vines, and even peek into oak barrels to catch the intoxicating scents of aging wine. You will enjoy private tastings directly in the vineyard, connecting with the land where legendary wines like Fiano di Avellino, Greco di Tufo, and the powerful Taurasi are born. These prestigious DOCG status wines represent the pinnacle of Southern Italian winemaking.
But the experience doesn't end in the glass. We believe the best wine deserves the finest local pairings. After your wine tasting, we head to a traditional cheese farm. Here, you will discover the secrets behind the production of fresh, creamy ricotta and aged caciocavallo. The sensory journey concludes at a local salami factory. You will witness the live production of authentic Campania charcuterie, including the region's famous prosciutto, known for its deep, savory flavor profile.
This is more than just a tour; it is a full-day celebration of the slow food movement. By keeping the group private, we ensure a personalized pace, allowing you to ask questions, linger over your favorite bottles, and enjoy the breathtaking landscapes of the Irpinian countryside in complete comfort. Whether you are a dedicated oenophile or a lover of fine Mediterranean cuisine, this gourmet adventure from Ravello promises memories that will last a lifetime.
