Farm Tour in Sorrento with Tasting: Dairy, Oil and Limoncello
A countryside journey through the flavors and traditions of the Sorrento Peninsula aboard a vintage ape calessino
This Sorrento farm tour with tasting takes you deep into the agricultural heart of the peninsula, where centuries-old cheesemaking traditions and local food culture come alive in a working dairy farm.
Aboard a classic ape calessino, you travel along an ancient mule track toward the Massa Lubrense area, passing terraced hillsides and fragrant lemon groves. Your guide for the experience is the farmer himself, who leads the visit with authentic knowledge of the land and its produce.
