Embrace the Flavors of the Coast

Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude, and what better way to express it than by indulging in the flavors of the Amalfi Coast? The Private Tour and Wine Tasting offers an intimate exploration of the region’s culinary delights. With a private driver at your service, you’ll journey through the picturesque towns of Positano and Ravello, each offering its own unique charm. In Positano, the narrow streets are lined with artisanal shops and cafes, perfect for a leisurely morning of exploration. As you ascend to Ravello, the air is filled with the scent of blooming flowers, and the views are nothing short of breathtaking.

In Tramonti, the heart of the tour, you’ll be treated to a culinary experience that celebrates the region’s rich traditions. A visit to a 300-500 year old vineyard offers a glimpse into the art of winemaking, with tastings of three distinct D.O.C. wines. As you savor each sip, the flavors tell a story of the land, the climate, and the passion of the winemakers. The accompanying meal, crafted from local ingredients, is a feast for the senses, a true testament to the region’s culinary prowess.

“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
