Amalfi Coast Tramonti Wine Tasting & Vineyard Tour Experience

Summary

Guided Tramonti Vineyard Walk and DOC Wine Pairing

You’ll walk through ancient Tramonti vineyards, taste local DOC wines in a 17th-century cellar, and enjoy fresh cheeses and panzanella—all with a local guide sharing real stories.

What’s the experience like?

Sunlight filtered through the old chestnut trees as we wandered into the vineyards in Tramonti. The air smelled faintly of wild herbs—maybe oregano or thyme, hard to tell. Our guide, Antonio, pointed out the twisted trunks of vines that have somehow survived for centuries, some older than any building in my hometown. He explained how these pre-phylloxera vines are a rare sight, especially on the Amalfi Coast. I remember brushing my hand along a leaf and feeling the cool morning dew still clinging to it.

Inside the masseria, you could hear a bit of laughter echoing from the kitchen. The cellar itself felt like stepping into another century—stone walls, old barrels stacked neatly, and a slight chill that made me glad I brought a light jacket. We tasted three different DOC wines from Tramonti, each poured with a little story about the Bove, D’Avino, and Giordano families who’ve been growing grapes here for generations. The panzanella was simple but perfect: crunchy bread soaked just enough with tomato juice, basil picked that morning, and mozzarella so fresh it squeaked when you cut it. There were also slices of cured meats and wedges of cheese that paired with the wines better than I expected.
