Embark on an exciting food tour of Sorrento, where you'll savor the most delicious dishes that showcase the rich culinary heritage of this beautiful coastal town while exploring its best spots. Meet your guide at the entrance of the Hotel Antiche Mura, close by one of the main entrances through the ancient city walls, and receive a souvenir map of Sorrento.
As you kick off your evening, enjoy an aperitif featuring a glass of local wine paired with olive oil bruschettas. This delightful start sets the tone for your culinary journey. Next, stroll through Villa Fiorentino and along Corso Italia, Sorrento's main street, before arriving at Caseificio Apreda for a tasting of exquisite cheeses and cured meats, complemented by another glass of wine.
While walking along the ancient city walls, your guide will share stories about Sorrento's past, including its significance during the Roman Empire and its role as a popular destination for artists and writers in the 19th century. The tour culminates at Piazza della Vittoria, one of the most panoramic spots in Sorrento, where you'll have some free time to capture stunning photos and soak in the breathtaking views.
Afterward, indulge in one of Sorrento's most traditional dishes: Gnocchi alla Sorrentina. As you wander through narrow streets lined with limoncello factories, restaurants, and cafés, make your way to Piazza Tasso. To honor culinary tradition, after dinner you'll choose a refreshing lemon drink—be it limoncello, granita al limone, or limonata—to aid digestion and complete your authentic Sorrentine experience.
But no dinner is complete without an Espresso! After your last stop, your guide will take you to the ancient Vallone dei Mulini. Historically, this area was an important industrial site; however, over time it became abandoned as modern milling techniques replaced traditional methods. Today, it serves as a fascinating reminder of Sorrento's past and is a popular spot for visitors looking to explore its unique beauty. Here, you will bid farewell to your guide and the rest of the group so you can continue enjoying the vibrant nightlife of Sorrento on your own.
