Mid-morning, arrive in the Sorrento area, famous for its IGP lemons. There you’ll visit a local distillery to see how homemade limoncello is produced. You’ll taste the authentic artisanal limoncello, often paired with a local pastry, all against a breathtaking backdrop of the Bay of Naples. The Sorrento lemon grown here gives the liqueur its intense aroma and flavor. This stop is both cultural and sensory: enjoy the authentic taste of the coast while admiring the sea view.
