The experience

You step into Villarena's Old Cellar, a place that dates back to 1500 AD, and your guide walks you through its history and the legends tied to the cellar and the land around it. Vineyards stretch across the sunny coast, inland on the Sorrento Peninsula and across greater Campania, and the grapes trace back to the Ancient Greeks, who brought them to the region. Small producers still make wine from them today.

The tasting moves through Campanian wines and how they are made, and you learn to notice their aromas and flavors. Then the cheeses arrive: Provolone del Monaco, Parmigiano, Pecorino and Caciocavallo, paired with the wines, while you learn how the cheeses are made. You also pick up tips on matching traditional recipes with wine.

To finish, homemade limoncello is poured on the sea view terrace, so the last sip comes with the view.
