Taurasi Full Tasting: Taste DOCG Wines and Local Delights
A curated journey through the vineyards, cellars, and flavors of one of Italy's most celebrated wine regions.
Discover the depth and character of Taurasi DOCG wine, crafted in the ancient hills of Irpinia and recognized among the finest red wines Italy produces. This three-hour experience combines vineyard walks, cellar visits, and a full food-paired tasting to bring the region's winemaking tradition to life.
Irpinia occupies a rugged inland corner of Campania, where volcanic soils, altitude, and a dramatic climate create conditions that have shaped world-class wines for centuries. The area is home to three DOCG designations — Taurasi, Fiano di Avellino, and Greco di Tufo — a concentration of protected appellations rarely found in a single territory.
Your visit begins at the producer's showroom, where an expert guide introduces the estate before leading the group into the vineyards for an outdoor session on local terroir and vine cultivation. The tour then moves underground into the cellar, where the winemaking and extended aging processes that define Taurasi's character are explained firsthand.
The experience concludes with a seated tasting of three DOCG labels, each presented alongside traditional Irpinian dishes chosen to draw out the distinct aromas and structure of each wine. A visit to the medieval Marchionale Castle of Taurasi adds a layer of historical context to the afternoon.
