Wine Tour Experiencesin Cilento

Discover the heroic viticulture of Cilento with Tredaniele Winery — a family estate in Trentinara producing exceptional Campania IGP and Paestum IGP wines from native grape varieties grown on dramatic hillside terraces.

Visit Tredaniele Winery
Tredaniele Winery Cilento

Trentinara · Province of Salerno

Heroic Viticulture at 450m Above Sea Level

The Daniele brothers cultivate native Cilento vines on steep terraced slopes, where Greek colonisers first planted grapes over two thousand years ago. The result is wine of extraordinary character — shaped by altitude, sea breeze, and ancient soil.

Vineyard & Winery Tour

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
Wine Tasting & Cellar Experience

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.

  • Fiano Campania IGP — white wine of great finesse
  • Rosso Campania IGP — structured and expressive red
  • Rosso Paestum IGP — flagship wine aged at 450m altitude
  • Spumante Rosé — Classic Method sparkling wine
  • Paired with local Cilento cheeses and cured meats
Stay at Villa Tredaniele

Villa Tredaniele offers guests the rare opportunity to live inside a working Cilento winery. Wake up surrounded by vineyards, enjoy breakfast with estate-produced wines and local produce, and spend your days exploring the hills, coastline, and ancient villages of the Cilento National Park. The villa combines authentic Southern Italian character with thoughtful modern comforts, making it the perfect base for discovering the region. Guests can arrange private tastings, cooking experiences with local chefs, and guided excursions to nearby UNESCO heritage sites including Paestum and Velia — all within easy reach of the estate.

  • Exclusive stay within a working Cilento winery

Harvest & Winemaking Experience

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.

  • Hand-pick grapes on the terraced hillside vineyards
  • Work alongside the Daniele family and local community
  • Follow grapes from vine to cellar

Visit Santomiele
Santomiele Officina del Gusto, Prignano Cilento

Prignano Cilento · Province of Salerno

A Simple Work for an Important Purpose

Inside an ancient oil mill transformed into a contemporary workshop, the Santomiele family has been crafting extraordinary products from the Cilento fig since the early 1900s — combining centuries of tradition with a bold, modern vision.

Téchne — The Santomiele Story

Téchne is the perfect starting point for anyone curious about Santomiele and the ancient art of Cilento fig-making. This tailor-made experience takes you through the story of the company — a family tradition rooted in the early 1900s — and introduces you to its most representative products and the artistic beauties of the workshop. Set inside the extraordinary Santomiele Officina del Gusto in Prignano Cilento, the tour combines history, craftsmanship, and landscape. You will learn how a thousand-year-old fruit became the foundation of an artisan enterprise that today produces sun-dried figs, artisan chocolates, fig molasses, jams, and honey — all made with the same philosophy: a simple work for an important purpose. The experience also takes in the breathtaking views of the Cilento National Park that can be admired directly from the workshop — a reminder that great artisan food is always shaped by the land it comes from.

The tasting takes place inside the laboratory, from which you can admire the beautiful landscape typical of the Cilento National Park. The tasting menu includes: Santomiele's welcome sun-dried figs (Cultivar Dottato) with toasted almonds and fresh citrus peels; fig jam with pears and vanilla bourbon paired with cheeses from Paestum; fig carpaccio with tomatoes and extra virgin olive oil; fresh figs wrapped with thin slices of local cured meats; croutons with Mediterranean vegetables; Paestum buffalo ricotta mousse with Giffoni hazelnuts and fig molasses; Scugnizzi fig pralines with cocoa and cinnamon; and Fichi fagottino — figs with almonds dipped in fragrant rum liqueur.

An ancient oil mill, a grand piano from the 1800s, photographs by Norman Parkinson hanging on the walls, pearl-coloured floors, steel and glass with a reference to Parmenides — ancient memories and testimonies combine with the modernity of refined and evocative architecture. The workshop produces the full Santomiele range: slow sun-dried Dottato figs (a tradition handed down for generations), artisan chocolates including the celebrated Mediterranean Chocolate and L'Uovo Figo, fig molasses, jams and honey, brittle, and biscuits — all made without the concept of "employee", trusting instead in the creativity of each person to make every single product an excellence.

Organic Buffalo Farm · Paestum

Local Artisan Experienceswith Tenuta Vannulo

Discover Tenuta Vannulo — a certified organic buffalo farm in Capaccio Paestum, founded in 1907, where hand-made mozzarella, artisan leather, and a living museum of farming culture come together in one extraordinary estate.

Visit Tenuta Vannulo
Tenuta Vannulo organic buffalo farm, Capaccio Paestum

Capaccio Paestum · Province of Salerno

A Story According to Nature

In 1907, this was a difficult zone to live in and cultivate. Vannulo has been transformed from a land that was 'worth nothing' to a flourishing area rich in know-how — producing some of Campania's most celebrated buffalo dairy products and artisan goods.

The Dairy — Hand-Made Buffalo Mozzarella

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.

  • Entirely hand-made daily from Vannulo's own organic buffalo milk
  • Watch the traditional stretching and shaping process
  • Available as classic rounds, treccia braids, and various sizes
  • Limited daily production — advance ordering recommended
  • Dairy open Mon–Sun 8:00–17:00
  • Dairy bookings: +39 0828 724 765
The Tasting Room — Buffalo Dairy Delicacies

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.

  • Full range of organic buffalo dairy products
  • Buffalo mozzarella, cream, yoghurt, puddings, and ice cream
  • Buffalo milk chocolate — a unique Vannulo speciality
  • Tasting Room open Mon–Sun 12:00–16:00
  • Yoghurt Shop open Mon–Sun 7:00–19:30
  • All products made on the estate from organic buffalo milk
The Museum of Farming Culture

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.

  • Artefacts and tools from the early 1900s farming world
  • Buffalo bell, farming screws, copper cabinets, and more
  • Housed within the Tenuta Vannulo estate
  • Open Mon–Sat 8:00–18:00, Sun 8:00–14:00
  • Combined visit with the Leather Shop
  • Free to visit as part of the estate experience
The Leather Shop — Buffalo Hide Craftsmanship

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.

  • Buffalo hide processed entirely by hand on the estate
  • Classic and designer leather goods — bags, belts, wallets, and more
  • Watch artisans at work in the on-farm workshop
  • All products made from Vannulo's own buffalo herd
