About this tour

Start at the central piazza, working through bruschetta, local cheeses and cured meats, handmade gnocchi, and finish with espresso overlooking the ancient Vallone dei Mulini.

What to expect
Meet your guide at the main square. You'll walk to two or three small venues, stopping at each to taste a specific dish or course. The guide talks about Sorrento's past—agriculture, trade, the lemon groves—while you eat. Portions are tastings, not full meals; the rhythm is relaxed, with time to chat. By mid-tour you'll have sampled several wines. The final stop is the Vallone, a ravine with mills, where you'll have espresso and a citrus digestif. Afterwards, you're free to explore the evening on your own or head back.
Good to know
Book in advance; small groups fill quickly. Wear comfortable walking shoes—Sorrento's alleys are narrow and uneven. The tour suits all fitness levels but involves standing and climbing short flights of stairs. Prams and service animals welcome. Public transport nearby if you need it.
