Wine trails from Positano: Montepertuso hike with tasting

Walk the mountain paths where the wine comes from

A guided hike from Positano up to Montepertuso combines a nature trail with a stop at a family-run vineyard and rural winery. You taste wines produced using traditional methods, then eat a starter of local salami and cheese with homemade bread, followed by a Montepertuso salad dressed in local olive oil. The guide is a certified environmental hiking guide who shares the region's history, botany and rural culture. Small groups of adults and children from age 13 keep the pace manageable on easy to medium terrain.

The experience

Montepertuso sits above Positano, and the path to reach it is the point. You start in the town center and climb a nature trail that winds through the landscape where your guide was born. The hike itself is easy to medium difficulty, not a scramble, but a real walk that takes you away from the coast and into the mountains. Along the way, your guide explains the plants, the history of the village and how the land has shaped the people who farm it.

At the summit, you arrive at an authentic vineyard and a small rural winery where wine is still made the old way. This is not a polished tasting room but a working farm. You taste wines produced here or from other local makers, learning what grows in this soil and how the ancient techniques still matter. The tasting comes with a starter of local salami and artisan cheeses served on homemade bread, then a salad of tomatoes and beans from Montepertuso, dressed with local extra virgin olive oil and basil. The food is simple and grown or made nearby.

Groups stay small (adults and children from age 13), so the guide can meet everyone's pace and needs. The experience is built around direct contact with local farmers and the flavors of peasant culture, not a rushed tour of highlights. Your guide speaks English or German and holds a GAE environmental hiking certification.
