The experience

How do you spend a couple of hours on the Amalfi Coast without fighting traffic? Rent an e-bike from the shop in Sorrento and ride the narrow streets and traffic-free paths that cut through the center, then head out toward the Massa Lubrense hills and Sant'agnello. The e-bike handles the terrain so you can focus on the views across the peninsula: the kind of panorama you miss from a car window.

The ride ends at a working olive mill where you walk among trees that have been there for generations. A guide walks you through how Sorrento produces its oil the traditional way, from harvest through pressing to the final product. Then comes the tasting: about twenty items, starting with DOP olive oil infused with local lemons, truffle and chillies, then moving through marmalade, honey, limoncello and other liqueurs made in the region. Bottled water is included. The whole thing takes two hours.

What’s included

• Use of an e-bike for the ride.
