The most delicious limoncello tasting
My husband and I spent a wonderful week in Sorrento, and every day we would go on a hike exploring the coast and hinterland. By the end of our vacation, we realized that we saw everything except Sorrento itself! We booked the Limoncello Tour Sorrento and learned a lot about its history, geography, and art. We also had a limoncello tasting, and it was the most delicious liqueur I've ever tried. I couldn't resist and had to buy a couple of bottles to take home. As I write this, I'm enjoying a glass of limoncello, reliving the moments from our vacation.
When life gives you lemons, book this tour!
There were good vibes throughout the Limoncello Tour Sorrento, and I really enjoyed it. Bruno is a wonderful person and tour guide, fluent in English and with a great sense of humor. It's incredible how much a good tour guide contributes to the cohesion of the group. He took us to see the beautiful frescoes, a medieval monastery, the local harbor, and many other cool places in Sorrento. I was feeling a bit down before the tour, but now I can safely say: when life gives you lemons, book the Limoncello Tour Sorrento.

START THE LIMONCELLO TOUR BY VISITING THE VALLONE DEI MULINI
After you meet the tour guide and other participants, the Limoncello Tour Sorrento will begin with a visit to the Vallone dei Mulini. As you take a peek at the deep ravine covered with overgrown vegetation, listen to the story of the volcanic event that created it. The creek that runs through the valley has been used since medieval times to operate various mills. This area of Sorrento was abandoned in the 20th century, leaving the entire section to be reclaimed by nature.
YOUR TOUR GUIDE WILL SHOW YOU AROUND SORRENTO
Next, follow your guide through the stone-cobbled narrow streets of Sorrento and reach the Cloister of San Francesco. This 14th-century former Franciscan cloister boasts an incredibly beautiful inner courtyard. Notice the stone arches and how each one is different and unique. Did you know it is a very popular wedding site? Yes, the Cloister of San Francesco is so popular for weddings that you'll have to book years in advance. The second site on your itinerary is the Sedil Dominova building, an old public space once used by nobles of Sorrento to discuss public policies. The walls are adorned with fully restored frescoes, and you'll learn more about them from your knowledgeable tour guide.
LEMON GROVES ON THE WAY TO MARINA GRANDE
On your way to Marina Grande, you'll pass by numerous lemon groves. As you breathe in the citrus fragrance, your tour guide will explain the process of producing limoncello in a typical limoncello factory. Later, you'll have the chance to taste some limoncello, but first, enjoy a visit to the lively Marina Grande. This is one of Sorrento’s historic fishing harbors, where fishermen sort their morning catch and sell fresh fish to local restaurants.
LIMONCELLO TASTING AT A LOCAL SHOP
By the end of the Limoncello Tour Sorrento, you will arrive at a small shop dedicated to showcasing local products. Here you'll have a chance to do some limoncello tasting; try it and decide if you wish to purchase some to take home with you. The famous liqueur is made from the zest of organically grown lemons, and it's known throughout Italy for its highly aromatic flavor. It is a refreshing drink usually served chilled making it the perfect beverage to enjoy on a hot summer day.
AN EXTRA TOUR OF SORRENTO CATHEDRAL
If time permits and you're interested, your guide may take you to visit the Sorrento Cathedral. Although it was constructed in the early medieval period, it stands on the site of an ancient Greek temple. The interior is equally impressive, featuring Baroque-style paintings and a marble altar.

What makes Sorrento lemons so special?
Known for their rich flavor, aromatic scent, and high juice content, the lemons of the Sorrento region are considered a delicacy. The close proximity to volcanoes makes the soil incredibly fertile and rich in nutrients. Furthermore, the Sorrento Peninsula is ideally located for growing citrus fruit as the region receives just the right amount of sunshine and rain. Based on historical records as well as frescoes and mosaics, we know that lemon groves have been cultivated in Sorrento since at least the time of the Roman Empire.
During the final part of the Limoncello Tour Sorrento, you will have a chance to enjoy some delicious limoncello tasting!
