“Antonio was such a great guide! He knew exactly what to see and when, to avoid the crowds. We had a true authentic experience wine tasting. Antonio also took us to an amazing locals restaurant with beautiful views and great food.” - Reviewed on 2023-09-07

A Culinary Journey Through Tramonti

As the rain subsides, the cozy town of Tramonti beckons with the promise of culinary delights and exquisite wines. Nestled in the Lattari Mountains, Tramonti is a hidden gem that offers a taste of authentic Italian life. Here, the Private Tour and Wine Tasting experience awaits, available from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, providing a perfect blend of scenic beauty and gastronomic indulgence.

In Tramonti, you’ll explore a vineyard that dates back 300-500 years, where the art of winemaking has been perfected over generations. As you savor the rich flavors of D.O.C. wines, the warmth of the local hospitality envelops you, making you feel like part of the family. The traditional Italian lunch, paired with a selection of wines, is a feast for the senses, offering a true taste of the region’s culinary heritage.

“Such a great time!! 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!!” - Reviewed on 2023-06-21
