About this tour
Spend eight hours at Cortecorbo, a family-owned vineyard in Irpinia's wine country, learning winemaking from the proprietor before rolling out pizza dough in a wood-fired oven. A leisurely countryside lunch follows, with six wines—including the structured Taurasi DOCG—matched thoughtfully to each course. You'll walk the vines and cellars, cook alongside locals, and taste what serious Southern Italian viticulture produces. Suits couples, groups, and anyone after genuine hospitality without the tourist circuit.

What to expect
Arrival at the vineyard sets a relaxed pace. The winemaker walks you through the property—vines, fermentation room, barrel storage—explaining decisions specific to this plot and vintage. You'll get your hands floury in the kitchen, stretching dough and learning the temperature feel of a proper wood fire. Cooking takes roughly 90 minutes. Lunch is unhurried: multiple courses unfold over two to three hours, each paired with a different bottle. Conversation tends to ramble—that's the point. Expect to sit outside if weather permits, with views across the Irpinia hills.
Good to know
Eight hours door-to-door, so plan the whole afternoon. Private transport is included. Wear clothes you don't mind dusting with flour. Minors under 18 don't receive wine tastings. The site is fully accessible for wheelchairs; prams work fine for infants.
