The room hums with focused conversation—this is not a rushed tourist pour but a two-hour masterclass that walks the palate through volcanic ash, coastal breezes and inland hills.

History
Campania’s wine roots extend to Greek settlers and Roman trade routes; many local varieties predate modern appellation systems and reflect centuries of selective cultivation.
Conservation
Small producers often practice low-intervention viticulture and organic farming; ask about sustainable practices and buy local to support hillside vineyard stewardship.

Plan transport after tasting
Don’t drive—book a taxi or walk back to your hotel; alcohol affects judgment even after a few tastings.
Hydrate between pours
Water cleanses the palate and helps you judge acidity and texture more accurately.
Bring a notebook or use your phone
Take brief tasting notes or photos of labels to remember favorites and producers for later purchase.
Avoid heavy scents
Strong perfume or cologne can mask delicate aromatics in white wines and subtle aged notes in reds.
Light jacket or shawl
Tasting rooms can be cool; a layer keeps you comfortable without distracting from aromas.
Notebook or tasting app
Useful for recording producer names, vintage impressions and food pairings to purchase later.
Reusable water bottle
Stay hydrated between tastings to preserve palate sensitivity.
Comfortable shoes
If you’re heading to or from nearby cobbled streets in Sorrento, sensible footwear helps.
