What wines will we taste?

You'll taste six different wines across two structured tastings at partner wineries. Irpinia specializes in white varieties like Fiano and Greco, plus regional reds; the sommelier will explain each as you sample.

The description does not specify lunch inclusion. Confirm with your operator at booking; many Amalfi wine tours arrange meals locally, but always verify before departure.

Do I need wine knowledge to join?

No. Your private sommelier-guide is trained to educate beginners and enthusiasts alike. The two tastings are structured as learning experiences, not certifications.

How far is Irpinia from the Amalfi Coast?

Irpinia is inland, roughly 40–60 km northeast of the coast. The journey takes 1–1.5 hours by car; expect winding mountain roads typical of Campania's interior.

Can I book this if I'm staying in just one of the three pickup towns?

Yes. Pickup is available from Positano, Amalfi, or Ravello. Confirm your location at booking so the driver collects you on time.

What's the group size on a private tour?

Private tours typically accommodate small groups (2–8 people), depending on your booking. You'll have dedicated sommelier attention, though the exact group composition depends on your reservation.

Insider tips

★Irpinia wines—especially Fiano and Greco—are lesser-known than Vesuvius or Chianti producers; this tour offers genuine discovery without tourist crowds.
★Ask your sommelier to explain the terroir differences between the two wineries; the volcanic soil and altitude significantly shape each vineyard's character.
★Wear comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes for vineyard terrain; sun exposure is real, so bring hat and sunscreen.
