Why Campania isPerfect for You

Tredaniele Winery sits in Trentinara, perched in the hills of the Cilento at 450 metres above sea level, with sweeping views stretching from the valley of Paestum all the way to Capri. The three Daniele brothers — heirs to a historic family of winemakers — cultivate native grape varieties using centuries-old techniques passed down through generations. On this guided tour you will walk the terraced vineyards protected by hand-built dry stone walls, learn about the concept of "heroic viticulture" practised on these steep slopes, and discover how the unique microclimate — shaped by sea breezes, mountain air, and spring waters — gives Cilento wines their distinctive character.

• Guided walk through terraced hillside vineyards
• Learn about native Cilento grape varieties
• Discover the ancient dry stone wall cultivation technique
• Panoramic views from Paestum to Capri

Tredaniele produces a celebrated range of wines from local grape varieties grown in the hilly terrain of Cilento. Their portfolio includes the elegant Fiano Campania IGP — a white wine of great finesse — the structured Rosso Campania IGP, the prestigious Rosso Paestum IGP aged at altitude, and the refined Spumante Rosé produced using the Classic Method. In the cellar tasting session you will be guided through each wine by a member of the family, exploring the aromas, flavours, and stories behind every bottle. Paired with local Cilento produce — buffalo mozzarella, cured meats, and artisan breads — this is a true sensory journey into the heart of Campania's gastronomic culture.

The Cilento harvest season — typically September to October — is one of the most magical times to visit Tredaniele. The entire family and local community come together to hand-pick grapes from the steep terraced vineyards, a tradition unchanged for centuries. Guests joining the harvest experience will work alongside the Daniele family, learning the art of selecting and picking ripe clusters by hand. After the harvest, you will follow the grapes into the cellar to witness the first stages of winemaking — pressing, fermentation, and the beginning of the ageing process. The day ends with a celebratory harvest dinner featuring traditional Cilento dishes and, of course, Tredaniele wines.

At Tenuta Vannulo, mozzarella is made entirely by hand every day from the milk of their own buffalo herd — a process unchanged since the farm was founded in 1907. Working the curd with water at 100°C, the cheesemakers stretch and shape each piece by hand, a technique that determines the mozzarella's distinctive firm texture and unparalleled flavour. The dairy is open to visitors who can watch the production process from close quarters and purchase the mozzarella fresh from the dairy. Given the limited daily production, advance ordering is strongly recommended. The mozzarella is available in classic rounds, treccia braids, and various sizes — all made that morning and best eaten the same day. Tenuta Vannulo's mozzarella has earned a reputation as among the finest in Campania, a region already celebrated worldwide for this product. The secret lies in the quality of the buffalo milk, the entirely organic farming methods, and the refusal to compromise on the hand-made process.

The Tenuta Vannulo tasting room offers visitors the opportunity to sit down and savour the full range of the estate's buffalo dairy products in a relaxed, farm setting. Open every day from 12:00 to 16:00, the tasting room is the ideal place to experience the depth and variety of what can be produced from organic buffalo milk. Beyond the celebrated mozzarella, the tasting room showcases Vannulo's full product range: rich buffalo cream, yoghurt and puddings, artisan ice cream, and buffalo milk chocolate — all produced on the estate using entirely organic methods. The yoghurt, in particular, has become a destination in its own right, with the Yoghurt Shop open from 7:00 to 19:30 every day. The tasting experience connects visitors directly to the land — the buffalo graze on the estate's own organic pastures, and everything served in the tasting room is produced within metres of where you are sitting.

The Museum of Farming Culture at Tenuta Vannulo is a place dedicated to culture and memory, showcasing objects and customs from the agricultural world that has always been a central reference point for the estate. The collection brings together tools, artefacts, and everyday objects from the early 1900s — a period when this part of Campania was being transformed from difficult, uncultivated land into the flourishing farm it is today. Among the highlights of the collection are a buffalo bell from the early 1900s, a farming screw made of wood and iron, and a copper cabinet — each piece a tangible connection to the generations of farming families who shaped this landscape. The museum is housed within the estate itself, making it an integral part of any visit to Tenuta Vannulo rather than a separate attraction. The museum is open Monday to Saturday from 8:00 to 18:00, and Sunday from 8:00 to 14:00, alongside the Leather Shop which occupies the same building.

Inside the Tenuta Vannulo farm, skilled workers process buffalo hide entirely by hand in a dedicated workshop, creating a wide range of handcrafted leather products — from classic to designer lines. The leather shop is a natural extension of the estate's philosophy: nothing from the buffalo is wasted, and every product is made with the same care and attention that defines everything Vannulo produces. The workshop is open to visitors, who can watch the artisans at work and browse the full range of leather goods available for purchase. Products range from classic bags, belts, and wallets to more distinctive designer pieces — all made from the hides of Vannulo's own buffalo herd and processed on the estate. The combination of the Leather Shop and the Museum of Farming Culture in the same building makes for a compelling half-day visit that connects the ancient traditions of Campanian farming with the living craftsmanship still practised at Vannulo today.
