Must do in Sorrento! - Beautiful lemon farm. Informative tour. Lovely tasting then lunch. Limoncello from heaven. So glad we did this. Reminded me of my Dad's tree grafting back in Brooklyn

A Must See Serene Experience! - I loved to agricultural lessons on how the lemons were grown and taken care of in order to meet regulations. I had no idea how much effort they go through to make sure they have high quality lemons! A close second would have to be the tasting that followed the tour! The limoncello and the marmalade were amazing! Since I’m vegan I wasn’t able to try all of the food, it was still delicious for what I could try! Overall everyone working was super helpful (we even got a little lost trying to find the entrance) and friendly! Overall the grove was beautiful and had many opportunities for great photos and a shop to buy some of the food and drink you tried while there!

Great time - Our tour was very informative. We were visiting during the time that you can see all three stages of the lemon. The flower, small fruit and ready to harvest lemons. We were able to ask many questions and didn’t feel rushed at all.

Food Tour walk through lemon Grove highly recommend - I booked this through their website directly because I didn't see the option for the non-transportation on TripAdvisor originally. It was perfect for a small outing for me & my boyfriend who we both love lemons & wanted a small piece of the food culture. Nice intimate setting. Very friendly. Highly recommend for small outing. Also the mai tais are fantastic, it's outside of the meal option but worth it especially when oranges are in season (March-May).

HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT - DO NOT schedule a cooking class with this place!! We made tiramisu, eggplant parm and gnocchi. Not a single lemon dish the whole experience, who plans a cooking class in a lemon grove and doesn’t plan a lemon dish There is a place next to this place called The Lemon Farm and I wish we had gone there instead. We stopped in to check it out and the people were lovely and we saw couples eating pasta out of hollowed out lemons the size of a small bowl. Looked amazing and then we go to this place and get mediocre gnocchi in tomato sauce! Huge waste of money!!
