Cilento Wine Tour & Tasting from Paestum: Local Vineyard Guide

Taste Cilento wines straight from the vineyard where they're made

A guided wine tour of a Cilento vineyard departing from Paestum station, led by a local expert in English or Italian. You walk through the winery and vineyard to learn the production process from grape to bottle, then taste a selection of local wines paired with Cilentan cheeses and salami. Transport from Paestum station and back is included, and the tour runs two hours.

The experience

You're picked up at Paestum station near the archaeological area and driven to a working vineyard in Cilento. A local guide meets you with a car or minivan and leads the tour through the winery and out into the vines themselves. The route covers the full production cycle (how the grapes are harvested, how they ferment, what happens in the cellar) explained by someone who works in the region's wine culture year-round.

The tasting comes at the end, after you've seen where everything starts. You sample a selection of local wines, each one paired with a plate of Cilentan products: cheeses, salami, the food that grows alongside the grapes. The whole experience runs two hours, which leaves the rest of your afternoon or morning free if you're based in the area.

Is this one for you?Two hours is short enough to fit between a morning at the ruins and an afternoon elsewhere, or to fill a free window if you're staying nearby. If you need a full-day excursion, this pairs well with time in Paestum itself, but it won't carry you deep into the Cilento region beyond the vineyard.
