After experiencing
Campania and Basilicata, you'll wonder why they are so neglected and relatively
unknown. But they are appearing on the wine critics' radar screen and you'll be
in the avant-garde of knowing why these areas have so much potential.
Our 8 full
days will cover from the rural and bucolic to the cosmopolitan. We'll visit villages
that rarely get any tourists; we'll visit 16th century grottos used now for the
production of homemade wine; we'll attend a centuries' old religious festival
in the town of Vin's grandparents; we'll visit the top winemakers of Campania
and Basilicata with an array of 3 Glass Awards, Italy's highest. We'll visit the
top four wineries of Feudi di San Gregorio, Terradora, Mastroberardino and Antonio
Caggiano.
And less
we forget, this is the area of Pompei, the Amalfi coastline and the isle of Capri.
When we leave on Saturday July 8, we're sure that you'll have the Neapolitan fever
and may even want to dance the Tarantella..
