About This Experience

This is not Chianti, this is not Montalcino, this is Irpinia, and this gourmet edition from Sorrento adds cheese and gelato tastings to the region's wines, with a food-and-wine expert driving and a vineyard walk that puts the grapes literally in reach. The operator's philosophy sets the tone: there is a difference between a driver and a driver who is a food and wine expert, and this day is built on it. You walk through the vineyards, touch the grapes, stand in the cellar as an oak barrel is opened to smell wine that is not ready yet, the sensory apprenticeship most tastings skip entirely. The gourmet programme runs three tracks: a guided tasting of three Irpinia wines, drawn from the region's Aglianico, Fiano and Greco heritage; a tasting of three different local cheeses, Campania's inland dairy tradition at full strength; and, the Sorrento edition's signature flourish, a gelato tasting of three flavours, cup or cone, because a food expert knows how an Italian day should end. The private machinery is complete: air-conditioned vehicle, WiFi on board, bottled water, English-speaking expert driver and all fees and taxes included, with lunch left to your own appetite and your guide's excellent local counsel. Irpinia rewards this gourmet framing especially well: its hills feed as impressively as they pour, and treating the day as a rolling tasting, wine, cheese, gelato, landscape, matches how the region actually lives. Your private date confirms instantly when booked online through Wine Trails, direct with the operator, with no middleman cut in the price. The gelato finale is more strategic than it appears: Campania's dairy tradition underpins both the cheese course and the cones, and tasting them hours apart, with wines between, turns the day into a quiet masterclass in the region's milk, from cave-aged to churned. Children, it must be said, endorse the format unreservedly. Sorrento's day-trip menu is famously crowded, Capri, Pompeii, the coast, and this is the entry the food-obsessed choose: a corner of Italy the crowds have not found, poured and plated by an expert who drives, with gelato as the closing argument. Come hungry, leave converted.
