Home > Experiences > The Lemon Experience

Any visit to this part of southern Italy must include some form of citrusy experience

Discover the origins of the famous Limoncello liqueur, from the centuries-old cultivation of the Sfusato Amalfitano lemons to its artisanal production.
Lemons have been a part of the Amalfi region's economy since the 10th century and arrived here from the Middle East, shaping the fishermen's villages' landscapes.
Meet your guide and head up the hills to a historic lemon grove where you will learn about the traditional farming and harvesting techniques locals still use to cultivate the precious citrus fruit. Your host will also reveal the many properties and uses of lemons, which aren't just for cooking. Next, visit a local distillery for a step-by-step introduction to the art of Limoncello making. You will also get to sample this delicious lemon-flavored drink as well as the other artisanal liqueurs they produce.
