We had the best time!! Vinny (our driver) was prompt and very communicative - he even volunteered to take a few photos of us when we were at the top of Positano waiting to get in with the beautiful backdrop. Positano’s main streets down to the beach were crowded so I wish we had asked to explore more of the outskirts of Positano or spent a little more time in Ravello. Ravello is small but so charming and beautiful - I wish we had allocated more time there to stop and have a drink in the main square! The villa there was beautiful and worth the stop. The main attraction of wine tasting was perfection - they provided 3 courses for our lunch - everything was fresh & delicious!! Loved the wine (tasting of red, white & rose) and the family atmosphere made it feel cozy & welcoming!! Would highly recommend!!

As you explore Maiori and the surrounding Amalfi Coast, the blend of cozy indoor escapes and scenic drives creates a romantic prelude to Valentine’s Day that is both enchanting and unforgettable.
