We meet in Naples at 10am and head to Caserta to visit Reggia di Caserta (Royal Palace of Caserta), the largest royal palace in Europe and the world - a UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the “Versailles of Italy”. Built in the 18th century for the Bourbon kings of Naples, the palace is known for its immense Baroque grandeur and expansive formal gardens, offering a fascinating insight into the region’s history and scale.

Lunch is at a Michelin-acclaimed restaurant, Le Colonne, where we’ll enjoy a regional menu featuring buffalo mozzarella, a speciality of the Caserta area and one of southern Italy’s most iconic products.

We then head to the Amalfi Coast and check into our five-star accommodation, Hotel Raito Amalfi Coast, for a sunset aperitivo with sweeping coastal views and dinner at the hotel.

We begin at Le Vigne di Raito for a winery tour and tasting. Perched high above the Amalfi Coast with sweeping views over the Tyrrhenian Sea, Le Vigne di Raito is a boutique producer dedicated to preserving the ancient winemaking traditions of the Costa d’Amalfi DOC. Here, heroic hillside viticulture, native grape varieties and dramatic coastal terroir come together to produce elegant, mineral-driven wines that truly capture the spirit of Southern Italy.

In the late afternoon, we travel up to Ravello, one of the Amalfi Coast’s most beautiful hill towns, where we enjoy an early dinner before taking our front-row seats for an unforgettable 8pm performance of L'Orfeo by Claudio Monteverdi, performed in concert form by Le Concert des Nations / La Capella Reial de Catalunya and conducted by Jordi Savall - all set against a glowing sunset over the sea, making it a truly magical highlight of the journey.

We begin with a casual yet elegant beach lunch in Conca dei Marini, enjoying fresh, local dishes in a beautiful coastal setting where the focus is on flavour, simplicity, and the sea.

The afternoon is spent in Positano, with time to explore at your own pace - wander the town’s winding streets, browse boutiques, or simply pause to take in the views that make it one of Italy’s most celebrated destinations.

We then travel by boat from Positano back to Vietri Sul Mare, experiencing the Amalfi Coast from the water as the light softens and the coastline unfolds.

The day concludes with dinner at Michelin-acclaimed Ristorante Oltremare, an elegant setting overlooking the sea in Maiori. A memorable final evening of exceptional food and local wines.

The next day is all about Irpinia, one of Campania’s most respected wine regions - swapping the glamour of the Amalfi Coast for rolling vineyards.

We start with a tasting at Mastroberardino, one of southern Italy’s most historic and influential wineries, widely credited with preserving and elevating Campania’s great native varieties.

From there, we continue to Feudi di San Gregorio for a guided winery tasting and lunch. Feudi is famous not only for its wines, but also for its striking “design winery” and elevated hospitality - an ideal place to taste the breadth of Irpinia in comfort.

Later in the day, we check in to our country agriturismo, where the evening is spent enjoying a relaxed, family-style dinner together. Expect local dishes, regional wines, and a warm, informal setting that reflects the rural traditions of the area.

The morning begins with a hands-on pasta experience, followed by an early lunch enjoying what you’ve created.

From here, we make our way to Ischia - an island of dramatic volcanic cliffs and understated elegance - renowned for its thermal springs, scenic coastline, and local charm.

After checking in to the five-star Hotel Terme Mare Blu, we take time to unwind before enjoying an aperitivo at the hotel, followed by dinner in the hills at Il Focolare. Known for its traditional cuisine and warm hospitality, it offers a beautifully relaxed evening - an opportunity to savour the moment and slip effortlessly into the Ischia days ahead.

The day begins with a leisurely morning at Poseidon Thermal Gardens, Ischia’s largest wellness park. Ischia is famous for its natural thermal springs, and spending time soaking in these mineral-rich waters is a true must-do on the island. Set along the coastline, Poseidon offers a collection of thermal and seawater pools, hydrotherapy facilities, and a steam grotto - the perfect place to relax, reset, and ease into island life.

During our spa day, we’ll walk to meet for a local lunch on the beach, enjoying simple, fresh flavours in a relaxed seaside setting.

As evening arrives, we gather for a relaxed pizza party, with Gerardo’s family and friends joining. Casual, generous, and unmistakably Italian, you’ll get to make your own Neapolitan pizzas - a chance to hang out with local Ischitans, sharing food, wine, and easy conversation.

The morning begins with a visit to Casa d’Ambra, one of Ischia’s most respected wineries, offering a deeper look into the island’s winemaking heritage. Enjoy a guided tasting of their wines and time among the vineyards, gaining insight into how Ischia’s volcanic landscape shapes both flavour and tradition.

Late afternoon, we make our way to the Castello Aragonese d’Ischia for a tour and aperitivo within the ancient stone walls of this thousand-year-old fortress, offering sweeping views across the coastline and the Gulf of Naples.

As sunset approaches, we embark on a private boat tour along Ischia’s coastline before arriving by water for dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant, Umberto a Mare, where refined seafood cuisine and exceptional wine will be a night to remember.

After breakfast, we check out, with the option to take a final wander through Ischia’s charming old town - perhaps a relaxed coffee by the harbour or one last stroll through its sun-drenched streets.

We then take the ferry back to Naples, with transfers provided to either the airport or train station, depending on your onward travel plans.

A smooth and easy departure, marking the end of an unforgettable journey of wine, food, and indulgent moments in southern Italy - one that lingers long after you’ve returned home.
