Falanghina Wine Tasting, Cellar Tour & Pasta Cooking Class in Sant'Agata de' Goti
Descend into the underground birthplace of Falanghina, craft handmade pasta, and share a traditional lunch in the heart of Campania.
This Falanghina wine cellar tour in Sant'Agata de' Goti takes you sixteen meters below ground into one of Campania's most storied family wine estates, where centuries of winemaking tradition have shaped one of southern Italy's most celebrated white wines. You will move through barrel-lined stone corridors, stand beside the original first bottle of Falanghina produced on the estate, and gain firsthand knowledge of a production philosophy rooted entirely in local terroir and zero-kilometer sourcing.
After the cellar visit, the experience shifts to the kitchen, where a hands-on pasta-making lesson invites you to work alongside local cooks and learn the craft of shaping traditional handmade pasta from scratch. The lesson is deliberately participatory and relaxed, designed for all skill levels including those who have never touched a rolling pin.
The tour concludes with a convivial lunch served in a traditional setting, where your handmade pasta takes center stage alongside two Doc-certified wines drawn directly from the cellar you just visited. Good music and a warm, unhurried pace make this final hour as memorable as the underground descent that opened the day.
Sant'Agata de' Goti is a medieval hilltop town suspended above a dramatic ravine in the province of Benevento, and its agricultural identity runs as deep as its geology. The family estate at the heart of this experience draws its grapes from the surrounding hillsides, maintaining a direct and transparent relationship between vineyard, cellar, and table that is increasingly rare even in rural Campania.
