Wine tasting in Positano: Local labels with sommelier

Taste three local wines with matching cheese while sharing lively stories in Positano

A wine tasting at Roc Wine Room in Positano pairs three generous servings of local and international wines with matching cheese and appetizers, led by sommelier Salvatore in the refined setting of the Eden Roc Hotel. You'll hear stories about grape production and regional labels while discovering pairings tailored to your palate, in a small-group format designed for genuine conversation rather than a lecture.

The experience

The tasting happens at Roc Wine Room, a modern and cozy space inside the Eden Roc Hotel where Salvatore guides you through the sensory side of wine: the colors, scents and flavors that separate one label from another. You're not sitting through slides. The class is interactive, built around your questions and curiosities. He'll walk you through what goes into production, why certain grapes end up in certain bottles, and how the region's terroir shapes what you're tasting. The stories matter as much as the wine itself.

Three generous pours come paired with cheese and appetizers chosen to complement each wine. The route through the tasting is customized: Salvatore adjusts based on what you're drawn to and what your palate responds to, so even if you come with friends, the experience bends toward what interests you. The room itself is refined without being stiff, designed for small groups where you can actually hear and talk to the people around you.

The space is wheelchair accessible, and public transportation stops nearby if you're not driving. The session runs about an hour, which is long enough to move through the wines without rushing and short enough to fit into the rest of a day on the coast.
