About This Experience

Six glasses in the Apennines with a sommelier at the wheel: this private full-day tour leaves Sorrento for Irpinia, southern Campania's serious wine country, and visits two highly acclaimed wineries built on the region's famous Aglianico and Fiano grapes. Irpinia is where Campania stops being a beach and becomes a cellar. An hour inland from the coast's glamour, the Apennine hills grow the wines critics rank with Italy's finest: Taurasi's long-aged Aglianico reds and the mineral whites of Fiano, ancient varieties enjoying a very modern renaissance. Most Sorrento visitors never learn this; the ones who do come home with the trip's best bottles. Your guide is the format's masterstroke: an English-speaking driver who is also an expert sommelier, meaning the commentary between wineries is as valuable as the pours within them. At two acclaimed estates you sample signature varieties across six guided glasses, walking vineyards and cellars with the sommelier translating technique into understanding. The private vehicle is air-conditioned with WiFi and bottled water aboard, and all fees and taxes are included; lunch is at your own expense, in wine country that takes eating as seriously as fermenting, with your sommelier's recommendations worth following to the letter. From Sorrento the day runs as a clean arc: coast to mountains and back, with the peninsula's evening intact. For travellers based on the peninsula for a week, it is the ideal inland counterweight, one day of altitude, Aglianico and silence between the beach days. Reserve online through Wine Trails for instant confirmation, booked direct with the operator and clear of any middleman markup. Autumn deserves special mention for this route: Irpinia's harvest runs famously late, with Aglianico picked into November, and the hills' chestnut festivals overlap the vintage, doubling the region's flavours in a single drive. Whatever the season, luggage space for bottles is the only preparation that matters. Sorrento's limoncello is charming; Irpinia's Taurasi is important. Six glasses, two estates and a sommelier's full attention will make the distinction permanently, and your wine rack will show the evidence for years.
