Itinerary

1. 1

   Tufo

   2h

   Tufo is a small, historic town in Avellino, Campania, southern Italy, renowned as the birthplace of the prestigious Greco di Tufo DOCG white wine. Built upon, and named after, volcanic rock (tufo), the town is characterized by its medieval Lombard-era Castello Longobardo, former sulfur mines, and steep, narrow streets overlooking the Sabato River Valley. Here, our guests will be led by our dedicated in the tour sommelier Cantine di Marzo, considered the oldest winery in Campania and the birthplace of the famous Greco di Tufo wine, and home of the first sparkling wine in Campania. Founded in 1647 by Scipione di Marzo, the estate transformed the Irpinia winemaking landscape by adapting grape varieties from Nola to the mineral- and sulfur-rich soil of Tufo.

2. 2

   Montefusco

   Montefusco is a charming, historic hilltop town in Avellino, Campania, known as the former "capital of the Ultra Principality". Located 705 meters above sea level, this Irpinian village is renowned for its Greco di Tufo vineyards, medieval narrow streets, and the historic Bourbon prison—often called the "Spielberg d'Irpinia". Here, our guests will be led on a tour of the infamous prisons and the watch tower by a local dedicated guide, and then will be invited to a unique and authentic wine tasting inside the historic wine cellar of the town, dating to the 16th century, by our dedicated sommelier.
