About This Experience

An hour inland from Naples, the hills of Irpinia grow the wines Italian critics call the Barolo of the South, and on this private full-day tour your driver is also your sommelier. Two innovative wineries, six wines, and a region most tourists never reach, explored with an expert whose whole day belongs to you. Irpinia is Campania's serious wine country: cool, green, vine-covered hills producing Taurasi from Aglianico, plus the great whites Fiano and Greco, ancient varieties with modern reputations. Getting there and between its scattered cellars is exactly what this tour solves, with private transportation in an air-conditioned vehicle, WiFi on board, and a qualified sommelier at the wheel. The day is built around two contrasting winery visits. At each you walk the vineyards, tour the cellars, and sit down to guided tastings, six glasses across the two sessions, poured and explained by people who make the wine and framed by your sommelier's running commentary. Having that expertise beside you all day changes the experience: every question gets a real answer, every wine gets its context, and your own palate gets personal attention no group tour can offer. Because the tour is private, the emphasis follows your interests. Deep-dive the ageing of Taurasi, linger over Fiano's mineral side, or simply enjoy the drive through hill towns and chestnut forests; the itinerary breathes with you. Lunch is at your own expense, and your sommelier knows exactly where wine country eats. Autumn is special here: harvest in Irpinia runs later than most of Italy, Aglianico often comes in as late as November, and the hills turn every shade of copper. But the cellars pour year-round, and in any month the contrast with the coast is the point, cool air, green hills and long-aged reds, an hour from the Naples seafront. Included: private round-trip transport from Naples, your sommelier driver-guide, the guided tastings with six wines, bottled water, and all fees and taxes. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the tour, and your private date confirms instantly online. Wine Trails books this tour direct with the operator, with no middleman markup, and the service supports a remarkable range of languages, from English, Italian and Spanish to Japanese, Korean and beyond, so ask for the language your group tastes best in. Vesuvius gets the postcards, but Irpinia is where Campania keeps its greatest wines. Spend a private day among them with a sommelier who drives, and you will come home with the one souvenir worth having: a region almost nobody you know has tasted, and you have.
