Sorrento Peninsula: E-Bike Food & Wine Tour with Farm Tasting

Summary

E-bike from sorrento to massa lubrense for cheese wine & laughter

You’ll pedal quiet roads from Sorrento to Massa Lubrense by e-bike, stopping at a family-run farm in Schiazzano for fresh mozzarella making (and tasting), local wines, fragrant olive oils, and homemade limoncello — all with an easygoing guide who keeps things light. Expect laughter, real food memories, and new friends over lunch beneath southern Italian sun.

What’s the experience like?

I’ll be honest — I almost bailed on the Sorrento Peninsula e-bike food and wine tour because my helmet felt a bit too snug (big head, small helmet situation). But our guide, Paolo, just grinned and swapped it out for another without making a fuss. That’s how the morning started: slightly awkward but immediately put at ease. The first few minutes pedaling out of Sorrento were wobbly — I hadn’t been on a bike in years — but the electric boost made me feel like I was cheating gravity up those hills. The air smelled faintly of lemon leaves and something sweet I couldn’t place.

We zigzagged along narrow roads toward Massa Lubrense, Paolo pointing out old stone walls and olive groves while locals zipped past us on Vespas, waving or just nodding (one guy shouted “forza!” which made me laugh). The views kept shifting — sometimes you’d catch the sea glinting through trees, sometimes it was just green everywhere. We stopped in Schiazzano at this little farm called Il Turuziello. There was a dog asleep under a fig tree and someone’s nonna hanging laundry nearby. Inside, we watched mozzarella being made — honestly, I had no idea it was so stretchy when fresh. Tasted it still warm with bread that smelled like woodsmoke. They poured us local wine and passed around plates of Provolone del Monaco D.O.P., plus these tiny caciottine cheeses and nine different olive oils (I lost track after the rosemary one).

Lunch was more like a slow parade of flavors than a meal — cheesecake with lemon zest at the end, plus homemade limoncello that Paolo swore would “fix any tired legs.” It burned going down but in a good way. Someone asked about the family history of the farm and our host told us stories in half-English, half-Italian; I caught maybe half but still felt included. On the ride back to Sorrento my legs were jelly but happy, if that makes sense. Sunlight flickered through branches overhead and for a minute everything just felt… easy. I still think about that view above Massa Lubrense sometimes.
