5 Wine Tastings on Sorrento Coast: Mount Vesuvius views

Sip wines by Mount Vesuvius, paired with local cheeses and Sorrento liqueurs

A wine tasting for 18 and up on the Sorrento Coast pairs five DOC and DOGC wines from Campania with cured meats, cheeses, seasonal vegetables and limoncello, all served from a terrace overlooking Mount Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples. A live guide in English or Italian leads the two-hour tasting. Pickup is included and gluten-free or dairy-free options are available on request.

The experience

Five wines arrive one by one, each one introduced by the maitre as you stand on the Captain's Terrace with Mount Vesuvius across the water. The wines come from Campania's DOC and DOGC vineyards, the region's protected designations, and each glass is paired with a local product: cured meats, cheeses, seasonal vegetables. The tasting moves through the sensory profile of each wine, building a map of what the vineyards of southern Italy actually taste like.

The two hours also hold an extra virgin olive oil tasting and a pour of limoncello, the lemon liqueur Sorrento is known for. If you need gluten-free or dairy-free versions of the paired foods, the staff can arrange that when you book. A courtesy car picks you up and brings you back, so you don't need to drive or navigate to the mill yourself.
