Learn how to make Amalfi limoncello
Description
We will meet in Piazza Duomo, the main square of Amalfi. In the first part of the experience, I will test your knowledge about limoncello. Once all doubts have been clarified, especially on the choice of alcohol and the recognition of a quality liqueur, I will explain the maceration, production and bottling process in detail. Later, I will show you how to taste it and at what temperature to serve it. After the initial tasting, a short historical paragraph will follow which will explain the origins of the famous "Amalfi gold". Next, you will personally experience the production of my grandparents' original recipe. Finally, I will reveal some tips for your future experiences at home! Please inform me of any food allergies.

This was such an amazing experience! Out of every activity we’ve done on vacation in Italy, this was my favorite. Vittorio and his entire family made the experience wonderful! We learned so much and had a great time! I highly recommend this!!!
We had an awesome time learning about how to make authentic Amalfi limoncello. Our host was fun, engaging and did a heart job of giving a thorough overview of how they make this authentic liqueur. You also get to try an large range of their homemade liqueurs from limoncello, meloncello, limoncello crème, lemon and ginger liqueur etc the experience is roughly 1 hour long which is perfect..
An absolute must do event; what an experience; everything we thought we knew about making Limoncello was gently corrected
It was wonderful to learn about the history and methods to making fantastic lemoncello! The samples were delicious!
Our host Vittorio was incredible! It was so fun to learn about the history of limoncello making, tasting his amazing creations and try our hand at making some. The shop is family run and Vittorio's passion for the craft and history of limoncello are what make this experience truly special. I would recommend this experience to anyone looking to experience the true essence of Amalfi! Grazie mille Vittorio
The proprietor, was passionate about his craft and the class went very fast (too fast) as we were enjoying it so much. We learned a lot and now I find myself checking bottles of limoncello where ever i go now. The class was fun, informative and he even shared his wife’s amazing lemon cake recipe as well as his grandfather’s original limoncello recipe. This turned out to be just a wonderful experience.
What an experience, so fun, so personal, the knowledge & love in this family for Limoncello is the best bar none. What makes this tour stand out over any other tour we've done is, you get to put the apron on (lemon themed apron of course) roll your sleeves up and get peeling & then add those peels to a new batch. P.S the homemade lemon cake is OOTW!!! I genuinely can't recommend this tour enough!!! Perfetto 🫶🏻
10/10! If I could give this experience more stars I would. Host and his family were just happy and excited to open their doors and teach us all about limoncello and the history of what it means to Amalfi. The last of the family stores and authentic limoncello places left in the area. Fun and educational!
Short and very enjoyable visit with lots of samples of their products.
Very informative and a great way to support a family business that’s been doing this the right way for generations. Totally worth it!
