Best tour ever. Well worth every penny - Truly a family connected village with support and expertise farm to table.
Started with tour of family farm. We were shown the unique process for growing lemons, and companion fruits. Natural fresh lemonade was served. We then drove up in the hills where. Cousin makes olive oil and cheese. We tasted 10 olive oil flavors. Then we learned how various types of cheese were made based on time and temperature. Then tasted the families limoncello.
Next, back down to the village to the restaurant where we handmade pizza dough cooked in a wood fire.
All of our teachers, demonstrators and tour guys are related. The village is very small & quaint which made it all so special.

Absolutely worth it ! - This tour was absolutely worth it ! Everything was super fresh and made right in front of you. Our tour guides were so kind and took us into their town as their own family. We were able to taste 10 different oils made right on site. The cheese making and tasting was so incredible. The pizza making was so fun and delicious! Would love to do this again !

Food and Fun in Sorrento - This was an amazing tour! The farm you visit is about 15 minutes outside of Sorrento in a charming village. This is a family endeavor. Their passion for sharing their village and their foods really shined through. After enjoying the visit to their lemon "garden" where we learned everything lemon, we headed up to the farm by way of the little red "Ferrari". The ride is about 10 minutes through the narrow, winding streets of the village (gotta hold on!), and up the hill to the farm where you are greeted with and amazing view, a little red wine, olive oil tasting and the cheese making demonstration and tasting. Truly delightful and tasty. There you do have the opportunity to purchase their products. Our tour concluded with pizza making upon returning to the village. We had the chance to work with the prepared dough then added our sauce and cheese. A real memorable day with such a wonderful Italian family.
