Full description

Visit the best wine cellars of Campania with an expert sommelier guide and driver. You will taste some of the most prestigious wines in the world on a 8-hour private tour from Naples. Get picked up and enjoy a scenic drive through the lower slopes of the Apennines, east of Naples. Your first stop will be the tiny commune of Montefalcione, which takes its name from a falchion. It’s the grapes you have come to investigate, however, at the Feudi di San Gregorio winery, widely regarded as one of Italy’s most innovative wine estates. After a tour of the bucolic vineyards and cellars, taste 3 different wines produced on the estate. Break for lunch at a local restaurant or agriturismo, then continue your wine tour at Montemarano, one of the best centers of production of Aglianico red grape. Walk through vineyards to feel the grapes, and smell the scents of wine that's not yet ready to taste. Then, sample 3 examples of the estate’s wines, including the notable Taurasi, the red wine from Campania granted the highest "DOCG" mark of quality.

This was a well communicated tour. I am surprised that I got a WhatsApp message saying thank you to me after I joined the tour through the website from Gaetano, the driver. This tour was supposed not to include hotel pickup and drop-off. However, Gaetano did offer a pickup point to get closer to my hotel which just took me 2 minutes’ walk. As the tour just had two participants, he provided a very comfortable car to drive us to the wineries. Even Italy does not need people to wear mask now, but Gaetano did wear mask in the car that made us felt very protective. Gaetano is a very nice guy and speaks very good English. We felt he is using his health to treat us. The tour was interesting to visit two wineries that we can even enjoy a delicious family lunch in one of the wineries even that was not supposed to include. After the wineries’ tour, Gaetano also drove us to buy necessities and provided us useful travel information that was out of the original itinerary. Overall, this was a well

Fabulous day visiting 2 of Irpinia’s family wineries in the beautiful Avellino area of Campania. Our host/sommelier Guatano was an absolute delight to spend the day with - his knowledge of the area and it’s history, geography, food and wine was mind blowing. We very much enjoyed the conversation with him and had lots of laughs as he was very enthusiastic and entertaining! We enjoyed warm and generous hospitality at both our stops and learned a lot about producing wine in this iconic region (we have a small vineyard in Australia). We would recommend this tour very highly and it is excellent value for money. Grazie!
