Prepare yourself for a journey into Southern Italy’s history and agricultural heritage. Our exploration begins with a visit to Cuma, a historically significant site as Southern Italy’s first Greek colony. Learn about the archaeological wonders of this ancient city as you go through the expansive park, with each step revealing the remnants of a civilization that left an indelible mark on the region. A highlight of the visit is the enigmatic Sibyl’s cavern, a haunting space where legends intertwine with reality – it is said that Odysseus himself sought prophecy for his future in this very cavern. Feel the echoes of ancient tales resonate as you stand within the atmospheric depths of this mystical site.

Our journey continues to a nearby wine-producing farm, where the art of winemaking is interwoven with the rhythms of family tradition. Led by a family member, we walk through the sprawling vineyards, gaining insights into the nuances of grape cultivation. Enter the cool, dim recesses of the cellars, where the aging process unfolds, and the essence of the terroir is captured in each bottle.

As the tour unfolds, the attraction of the farm deepens with a delightful lunch crafted exclusively from the orchards that surround us. The farm’s commitment to freshness and sustainability is palpable as we indulge in a feast that celebrates the flavours of sun-ripened fruits, handpicked vegetables, and homegrown products. Each dish is a testament to the farm’s dedication to preserving the authentic tastes of the region.

This leg of our journey is a celebration of both ancient and living history, where the footsteps of ancient Greeks and the time-honoured traditions of winemaking converge. As the flavours linger on your palate and the stories resonate in your mind, you depart with a profound appreciation for the richness of Southern Italy’s cultural and agricultural heritage.
