We enjoyed the... - We enjoyed the informative tour of the lemon grove and the delicious tasting afterwards. The food, wine, and limoncello were tasty, the atmosphere was quaint, and the staff was friendly. I would suggest wearing bug spray as there were many mosquitoes. And if you are from the U.S. and hoping to ship some delicious olive oil or limoncello home, you will be disappointed to learn that La Limonaia is not presently shipping to the U.S.

A really unique activity that gives you a sense of Sorrento food and culture! - Such a unique experience! A lemon farm tour might not sound exciting, but considering the Sorrento lemons are very special - both in taste and their importance to the people and culture of Sorrento - this is a must visit. The lemon grove is really serene and beautiful with plenty of idyllic photo opportunities. The guide provides lots of interesting facts about the Sorrento lemons, their horticulture, and their history. They also show how limoncello is made. The tour ended with a lovely tasting of limoncello and crema di limoncello, with delicious food pairings. It was a lovely experience overall! Also, a good tip - the gift shop is great for presents. It obviously has limoncello etc, but it also has things like Sorrento pizza cutters and other unique items. We pretty much bought most of our holiday gifts there!

Wonderful experience. - The experience was wonderful. We toured the gardens with explanations of growing/grafting lemons, making limoncello, followed up with tastings of the farm. We also opted for the lunch while there. It was delicious and relaxing. We signed up for this experience on our last full day in Sorrrento. It was a relaxing way to end our trip.

Delicious lunch in beautiful surrounding, with an accompanying informative tour. - We had an informative tour of the lemon grove. The local guide explained the history of the grove and importance to Sorrento, the limoncello making process as well as how the lemon trees are grafted. We followed the tour with a delicious lunch full of local ingredients with lemon flavours front and centre. The food was fresh and delicious and served in a lovely shaded courtyard. Even on a hot day, the shade was cool and inviting.

The Galano lemon grove, an outstanding place to visit - The Galano lemon grove in Sorrento has got to be on everyone’s to do list. An amazingly beautiful setting with a wonderful guide and spotlessly amazing restaurant. I phoned to ask if we needed to pre book the tour, was told no by Elizabeth and she even offered to collect my wife and I by car from the main square at a time to suit us. You have to come here some time during your stay in Sorrento. A beautiful setting with an outstanding restaurant and first class chef’s. A big thank you to Elizabeth, Elanor and the restaurant team Jetta the lemon grove. Dave and Julie xx
