What makes this tour unique is that it is led by a dedicated sommelier who will provide an anthropological introduction to the area, explaining how Benevento has become world famous for its witches, its Strega liqueur originally conceived by local witches, and its unique food and wine correlated history.
What makes this tour exclusive is the access to the Strega Liqueur factory and laboratory, preceded by an extensive Witch Tour where guests will learn about the whereabouts of local witches in the narrow streets of Benevento, and how they affected and still affect locals' lives.
The tour will reach its peak with an educational wine tasting at the Ocone Winery with a private, dedicated sommelier, where our guests will learn about indigenous grape varieties, paired with autochthonous food, while being led on a wine inspection and analysis, learning about the legends, curiosities, and history behind each wine and dish.
