Thoroughly enjoyable tour ending with the lemon flavoured food. - We booked the lemon grove tour which included a tasting session on line also a meal with a glass of wine.
The tour was brilliant, although not very far but very informative and interesting. We learnt a lot about lemons and how they make lemoncello. After the tour there was a tasting session. That was amazing, it was explained about each item. The flavours were wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed it. After we had lunch, everything has lemon involved. This again was lovely. However we enjoyed the tasting session so much we weren’t really ready for lunch. We would recommend just to do the tour and tasting. The meal was lovely but to enjoy it fully it would be better not combined with the tasting session.

Lemon Groves - Lovely visit to lemon groves in Sorrento, a tranquil little setting away from the busyness of Sorrento. As well as the tour there was a fabulous selection of tastings. Highly recommended.

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.

Overpriced Tour - The tour gave some good information and lasted 45 min, but is in total only a 5 min walk through a lemon grove. Lots of stops along the way with some information presented as video clips on an iPad. At 40 Euro, it was extremely overpriced. Would not recommend.
