Ravello Luxury Wine Tasting Excursions to Top Campania Estates
Ravello, one of the most beguiling towns on Italy’s Amalfi Coast, is home to some lovely white wines and light reds made in the Costa d´Amalfi DOC appellation. But for serious wine lovers and especially for those who like intense red wines, you need to go a little further afield, deeper into Campania. You will visit two contrasting high-end properties, enjoy a tasting menu lunch at one of the estate’s refined restaurant and visit the small medieval hamlet of Taurasi. Learn all about Campania’s native grape varietals like the white Falanghina (actually a varietal that the Ancient Greeks imported) and the red Aglianico, making superb wines that have been called “Barolos of the south”. And take in some sightseeing, stopping in medieval Taurasi. We have prepared this one-day wine touring itinerary from Ravello for those looking for a luxurious excursion to the best wine estates in the region.
