Meet in central Sorrento and ride into the hills to La Masseria Farm, where family hosts such as Eugenio and Raffaele show you lemon and olive groves, animals, wine production, and handmade foods. Taste olive oils, honey, cheese, marmalade, limoncello, and wine, then sit down to a hearty lunch made largely from farm-grown ingredients.

“Absolutely awesome way to spend a somewhat rainy day. Beautiful farm with lemons, olive, chestnut, orange and other trees. Very informative tour by the family sprinkled with humour and followed by an amazing home cooked farm to table meal! Possibly the best we had in Italy - including amazing bread, bruschetta, pasta puttanesca with home grown olives, grilled veg, cheese board, lemon tarts, and home made wine. Tasting and purchases followed. Highly highly recommend. Lastly lovely to see the wonderful goats, pigs and cats interact with our group.”

“It was an amazing day! We visited 3 wineries and at one saw the entire olive oil production -was so fascinating! Although wine was the main feature of the tour, seeing the olive oil being made was a massive highlight. In the middle of the tour, we briefly stopped at a small town speckled with terracotta cats and had just enough time for a coffee. Imo, the value matches. 10+ small glasses of wine, transit, and lunch. A lovely surprise was the community aspect. It was two groups of 8 and we were easily able to chat and laugh with one another. We felt slightly rushed at the 2nd winery…”

We had some tasting of 2 wines and 2 olive oils paired with local meats / cheeses and my favourite was trying the olive oil with some ice cream and on fruit it was delicious!

The hospitality of his grandparents in their seaside home was incomparable to any other experience we’ve had In Sicily. I wish I could remember the name of the sandwich we made, it was delicious. The wines were great, but the vinegar was incredible! We brought a bottle of each home.”

The old olive mill tour was super special and the local restaurant for lunch was the best food we’ve had so far on our trip to Italy. The e-bikes were very easy to use and we appreciated the extra thoughtfulness with providing a snack and electrolytes. We highly recommend this tour (or another of Marco’s) if you are coming to the Puglia area. Truly an unforgettable experience.”
