Itinerary
Tufo is a small, historic town in Avellino, Campania, southern Italy, renowned as the birthplace of the prestigious Greco di Tufo DOCG white wine. Built upon, and named after, volcanic rock (tufo), the town is characterized by its medieval Lombard-era Castello Longobardo, former sulfur mines, and steep, narrow streets overlooking the Sabato River Valley. Here, our guests will be led by our dedicated in the tour sommelier Cantine di Marzo, considered the oldest winery in Campania and the birthplace of the famous Greco di Tufo wine, and home of the first sparkling wine in Campania. Founded in 1647 by Scipione di Marzo, the estate transformed the Irpinia winemaking landscape by adapting grape varieties from Nola to the mineral- and sulfur-rich soil of Tufo.
Montefusco is a charming, historic hilltop town in Avellino, Campania, known as the former "capital of the Ultra Principality". Located 705 meters above sea level, this Irpinian village is renowned for its Greco di Tufo vineyards, medieval narrow streets, and the historic Bourbon prison—often called the "Spielberg d'Irpinia". Here, our guests will be led on a tour of the infamous prisons and the watch tower by a local dedicated guide, and then will be invited to a unique and authentic wine tasting inside the historic wine cellar of the town, dating to the 16th century, by our dedicated sommelier.
Montemiletto is a historic town of roughly 2,500 residents in the province of Avellino, Campania, known for its panoramic hilltop location in Irpinia. Dominated by the 8th-century Castello della Leonessa, it features a charming medieval center, the 17th-century Porta della Terra, and a quiet atmosphere surrounded by scenic vineyards. The Castello della Leonessa is one of the best-preserved castles in Irpinia. Here, our guests will be led by a local guide on the castle tour, experience life in the 16th century through the 3D virtual reality option, and enjoy a glass of Anhörpor wine to taste the flavours of the wine of centuries ago.

About Naples
Passionate and chaotic beneath Vesuvius, Naples is the birthplace of pizza and the gateway to Pompeii, Capri and the Amalfi Coast.
The historic centre, a dense grid of streets laid out by the ancient Greeks, is a world of churches, street shrines and laundry strung between balconies. Spaccanapoli cuts straight through it, Via San Gregorio Armeno is lined with nativity-scene workshops, and the Sansevero Chapel holds the astonishing Veiled Christ. Underground, tunnels and cisterns reveal the Greek and Roman city below.
Top-ranked sights in Naples: Mt. Vesuvius (Monte Vesuvio), Via dei Tribunali, Naples Historic Center (Napoli Centro Storico).
