Excursion Sorrento coast & tasting at casale villarena tour at Sorrento

Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

Experience the beauty and flavours of the Sorrento coast during this picturesque, half-day sightseeing excursion.


Sorrento City, Hills & Coast, Italian Riviera, Naples & Salerno Gulfs, Nerano Bay, Villarena Relais

Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately one-hour drive along the exquisite Sorrento coastline. The narrow road winds along the side of rocky seaside cliffs, and offers breath-taking views overlooking the Italian Riviera. Marvel at the rocks rising from the sea, and see small boats in sheltered, sandy coves that look like brightly coloured toys from above. Along the way, a short photo stop is made for spectacular panoramic views overlooking the gulfs of Naples and Salerno. Next, re-board your coach and proceed along the Sorrento coast for a visit to the historical Villarena Relais, nestled on Nerano Bay.


Casale Villarena, Meet the Owner, Cellar & Organic Farm Tour, Tastings, Wines, Cheeses, Olive Oil

Upon arrival, enjoy a short walking tour of Casale Villarena's old cellar and organic farm. Following your tour, proceed for a tasting of Italian wines. Everything grown and produced here is 100% pure organic, including the grapes, vegetables, and extra virgin olive oil (D.O.P.). Casale Villarena's expertly paired organic wines are accompanied by tastings of Neapolitan specialities, salamis, extra virgin olive oil, and locally-produced cheeses that are among the best in southern Italy.


Sorrento Harbour, City Centre & Optional Free Time

Following your visit and tastings, re-board your coach for the drive back to Sorrento. Upon arrival at the bus terminal, you may change to the local shuttle bus for the ride down to the harbour and return to the pier on-foot, or opt to remain in the city centre for independent shopping and exploration, and return to the pier on a later shuttle (time-permitting).
