Read an article in the San Francisco Chronicle about Campania’s regional wines.

Alycia’s Southern Italian Tours specializes in escorted small group wine tours (approximately 4-12 persons) to the cities and outskirts of Avellino, Benevento, and Caserta in the southern Italian region of Campania.

While there’s plenty of interest in wine and tourist regions in Northern Italy, Southern Italy has remained mostly untouched. It still offers a unique traveling experience.

Tours focus on local wine, cuisine, culture, language, art and architectural history. Travelers receive an intimate and authentic wine experience by lodging at vineyards and agricolturismi (farm stays) where the best-known wines from the region are produced. Examples include, Taurasi, Aglianico, Fiano di Avellino, Falanghina, and Greco di Tufo. Of course, local cuisine is an essential part of a wine experience and travelers will have the opportunity to dine at local agricolturisimi, restaurants, vineyards, and participate in cooking, ceramic, and language classes.

Depending on the traveler’s tastes, tours offered are: walking tours of small towns like Sant’Agata de Goti; ventures to museums such as the Reggia di Caserta; churches dedicated to the famous monk and now saint, Padre Pio; local archeological sites; Italian language and cooking classes.

The summer traveling season is May through August. September, October, and November are reserved for the harvest (vendemmia). Tours during the remaining months can be arranged. Side excursions to Capri, Ischia, Naples, and the Amalfi Coast can be included in your travel arrangement; you’re encouraged to visit these sites during the summer season.
