Discovery Tour of Sorrento Lemon in Massa Lubrense

We had an amazing time on the farm with the most amazing view. The tour and demonstration were given by the loveliest Italian couple that live and love agriculture and whose family did this for generations. We were picked up at the center of town, and we're given lemonade and a tasting of lemons in the beginning when we met another couple that took the tour with us. It was so authentic, we gained so much knowledge of different types of citrus and the process of growing it (not as easy as you think). We were also shown live exactly how grafting works. At the end we tasted jams, limoncello and even olive oil and got to also buy some. Overall I highly recommend, it was so interesting and fun. Note: the farm is not accessible.

This was a fantastic experience - we were met at our hotel by the lovely Rita who owns the farm and she drove us there. We started off with some delicious slices of sugared lemon and fresh lemonade. Rita then took us around her beautiful and vast lemon tree farm explaining how the trees are grown and all the various stages of them. We were then given a grafting demonstration by her husband, whilst overlooking the most gorgeous view imaginable. After that we went back to the house and were given some more tastings of limoncello, limoncello cream and homemade jams which were all delicious and Rita and her husband were really fun company and we spent some lovely time with them before Rita drove us back to our hotel. I would definitely highly recommend this trip and Rita is so passionate and knowledgeable about her craft having spent a lifetime looking after and farming this land, and it is fascinating to learn all about the trees and different types of lemons and how they are produced. Wonderful!

This was such a wonderful experience; highly recommended if you’re in the Sorrento area! I was picked up by Rita’s son and brought to her idyllic property where she greeted me with lemonade and fresh lemons with sugar. We got a tour of her property and learned how she grafts the trees to create her products. The views from her property are stunning the entire time. After we learned all about the farm and how she does her work, we tried some of her products. Her limoncello and the lemon jam were amazing. My major regret is that I couldn’t get the lemon jam home in my carry on luggage. It was wonderful and Rita’s family is so welcoming and accommodating.

A truly spectacular experience — beautiful setting, very kind and generous hosts (Rita and her dad are lovely), extremely informative and fascinating tour. Can’t recommend highly enough: really personal and quite moving; a huge and welcome contrast to the many big, cookie-cutter commercial tours available. Grazie Rita!

Personal and enriching. Especially for kids.
