What makes this different from a standard wine tour?

Your driver is a certified sommelier, adding expert context to tastings. The private format and inclusion of a pizza-making class turn it into a full sensory experience rather than a passive tasting.

Are the three wines DOCG-certified?

Yes. Irpinia is home to three prestigious DOCG designations: Fiano di Avellino, Greco di Tufo, and Taurasi. You'll taste examples from the winery's estate or selection.

Do I need any cooking experience for the pizza class?

No. The class is designed for beginners. You'll learn dough handling, shaping, and topping techniques from professionals on-site.

Is lunch included, and are dietary restrictions accommodated?

Yes, your pizza lunch is included. Inform the operator of dietary needs (vegetarian, gluten-free, allergies) when booking so they can brief the winery in advance.

How far is Irpinia from Naples, and what's the drive like?

Irpinia lies roughly 40–50 km east of Naples, a 50–70 minute drive depending on traffic. The winery is typically reached via the A16 motorway; the route is straightforward.

Can the itinerary be customized?

As a private tour, yes. Discuss preferences with the operator—you can adjust timing, focus on specific wine styles, or request a particular winery if you have a preference.
