Local delicacy tasting
The guide/driver was excellent. The various stops were all good and we enjoyed sampling local food and wine. We couldn’t fault it.
All aboard Sorrento's foodie train for three hours of the region's best countryside views and famous flavours. The whimsically retro blue and white trolley train trundles out from hilltop Sant'Agata sui Due Golfi to kick off your tasting tour.
The Desert Monastery is first up. It dates back to 1769 and gives its resident Benedictine nuns, and you, some heavenly views of the Gulfs of Salerno and Naples, as well as Mount Vesuvius. Your next stop is Orto Ghezi to sample the spoils of a Mediterranean kitchen garden. You'll try honey and ‘limoncelle' apple jam here.
During your panoramic train tour, there are all sorts of delicacies to taste, like local wines, fresh olive oil, tomatoes, olives, and bread. You'll also get stuck into a hands-on workshop to turn fresh lemons into limoncello – and sip the zesty end result. Plus, there's a mozzarella-making demo where you'll taste the freshly-made cheese.
