Visit with Tasting at Antonio Napolitano Wineries”

Contrada Lenze - Taurasi Avellino - Italy

Great stories always arise from a great passion and this is also the case of the Antonio Napolitano Cellars, founded in the 1950s by Antonio, a great enthusiast and connoisseur of the wines of his lands, Campania. Antonio, little more than a boy, approaches this world thanks to the already existing family business that operated in the wine sector. The large Napolitano family has a double bond with wine, from the care of the vine to the manual harvesting of each single bunch, rigorously in the presence of the whole family, even the youngest, up to the vinification, always supervised personally according to tradition and innovation. The cultivation and production is entirely concentrated on the uncontaminated Irpine hills, where the great native Campanian vines, such as Taurasi, Fiano di Avellino, Greco di Tufo, Aglianico (all DOCG), here find the ideal climate to best express their notes of flavor and color.

What will you do

Accompanied by Grazia and her sons Giuseppe Anna and Marco, you will visit the cellar, where you will be shown the methods and secrets of the vinification of these precious grapes. After the visit you will participate in a tasting.

  • Are the prices always the same even if the date changes?
    Prices vary based on various factors which may be seasonal, day of the week, occupancy status of the hotel, promotions, particular fairs in the city and more. The advice, to see the prices, is to enter the dates of your stay and make your own comparisons.
  • Is breakfast always included?
    No, it depends on the rate and whether the structure is organized to offer it or not. Check carefully before booking what is included and what is not and what type of service is offered.
  • Can I make special requests?
    Of course, when booking you will have a field where you can write directly to the property and make your requests. These will be evaluated by the Hotel who will respond directly to you. MeTour is not responsible in this decision-making process.
  • What types of beds will I find in the room I booked?
    The type of bed is usually specified in the room sheet. If you have any special requests or needs you can indicate them at the time of booking by writing them in the "special requests" field which will be forwarded directly to the property. In this process MeTour is not responsible.
  • What is Pay in Structural and Payment Pre-Authorization?
    When you book, some facilities offer the possibility of paying directly at the facility. In these cases you will simply be asked to insert your credit (or debit) card to guarantee the booking, but without any charge. The sum will be taken from your credit card only in the cases provided for by the policies and conditions relating to your booking. In other cases, when the Partner does not adopt automatic availability and booking systems, but confirms reservations "manually", then you will be asked to insert your credit (or debit) card to guarantee the reservation, and then be directly charged at the same time as the Partner confirms the booking (within 24-48 hours). At that moment you will receive an email with the booking confirmation and payment.
  • How do I know if my card has been pre-authorized?
    By consulting your credit card balance you will see that your available balance will be temporarily reduced by the amount of your reservation. In other cases and depending on the policy of your credit card circuit, you may also find an entry in the monthly summary of card movements: "pending operation". The pre-authorisation block, depending on the situation, will be maintained according to the policies and terms and conditions of what has been booked.
  • How can I cancel or change my booking?
    Easy, enter the customer area with your credentials and from there you can modify or cancel your booking. Remember that changing dates or canceling with a refund request depends on the rate you chose when booking.
  • Can I transfer my reservation to another person?
    For this request, contact the property directly which may have a specific policy in this regard or may need further data on the person to whom you want to transfer the booking.
  • How can I get help with my booking?
    Enter the customer area with your credentials and from there you can contact us or by writing through our contact form specifying your booking number and the reason for the contact request. We recommend that you also leave a telephone number where you can be reached in case of need.
  • Are there taxes, local charges or extras to be paid directly on site?
    If not clearly indicated in the booking rates or property policy, payments may be requested directly to the property for tourist taxes, local charges or extras not included in the rate. The advice is to read everything carefully before booking or writing to us through our contact form.
  • Are small pets allowed?
    We invite you to read the property policy or contact us through our contact form for more information.

    TripAdvisor reviews on MeTour.it are ratings and comments imported directly from TripAdvisor for every hotel, B&B, resort, campsite, accommodation, restaurant and museum activity you find on our site. They include an overall rating of up to 5 points, the total number of reviews, and detailed ratings for specific categories such as rooms, location, cleanliness, sleep quality, service and value for money.

  • Covid 19 Reservations/Cancellations/Changes of Dates/Refunds:
    For reservations made we advise you to keep in mind the risk related to Coronavirus (COVID-19) and related government measures. If you book a rate that is not "flexible" or "non-cancellable" or "non-changeable", you may not be entitled to a refund in the event of cancellation or to a refund. Any requests for cancellation or date changes will be handled based on the policy of the rate chosen at the time of booking and any consumer protection laws. In uncertain times like these, MeTour recommends booking with rates that allow free cancellation or date changes, so that if you have to change plans or restrictions arise, you can cancel for free up to the deadline set by the structure.
  • Covid-19: travel restrictions and advice
    MeTour encourages its Partners to follow a careful prevention policy towards the Covid-19 pandemic, promoting those structures with strict sanitization and control protocols and monitors any contagion situations by blocking reservations for those structures or places that are particularly affected. However, since we cannot intervene directly on the structures, which are independent from MeTour, the advice is to check whether there are travel restrictions in place before booking and reaching the structure. In fact, travel may only be authorized for specific reasons and, in particular, travel for tourist purposes may not be permitted. We recommend that you visit the government websites of the various countries in the world of destination, the website of the WHO (World Health Organization) and local government bodies, official information sites and, last but not least, the website of the Booked Facilities. . MeTour is not responsible for the content of the aforementioned sites, but recommends consulting the most up-to-date news possible.

Absolutely 5 out of 5!
Absolutely 5 out of 5! We booked this last minute and thankfully, they managed to squeeze our party of 4 and 2 dogs (we held them in our arms) in for a wine tour, fantastic lunch and of course, the opportunity to purchase the fabulous wines on offer at a reduced rate from restaurant prices.

The wine cellar is stunning and designed and built by the family. The tour includes the processes, how they started and the loving project they’ve worked on since 1994. We adore Taurasi wine anyway but have even more of a love now seeing where the grapes grow (stunning valley sprinkled with sun all day every day).

The tour was followed by an amazing lunch where you try the wines paired with food - only warning is that you may roll out of there with a very full tummy and huge smiles on your faces!

Honestly one of the best wine tours we have done, fantastic value and even managed to buy some goodies (wine!) to bring home with us (yeah for driving over from Uk!).

Thanks so much to the staff, we had a wonderful day!

Among the BEST in all of Italy!
Extraordinarily DELICIOUS wines. Very affordable.

We shipped a half-case of the Taurasi home to Colorado for a very reasonable price.

Antonio and his son couldn't be more charming.

The cellar tour was stunning. The most fascinating and magical cellars I've ever seen.

The labyrinth of cellars leads to an interesting museum and then to the state-of-the-art production facility.

This one is well worth going out of your way for.

A combination of art and winemaking
This is one of the leading wineries in the Taurasi area, and its wines have received multiple accolades. On the outskirts of the town, it sits on the top of a slope, overlooking an vast valley. The modern structure, made of local stone offers its main floor at the top, and the winery below occupies several levels. The shop and wine tasting area is adjacent to a display of art by Antonio Caggiano, a prolific painter, with a few attempts at sculpture from old vines. His paintings are very good, although there is no recognizable and unique style. The wine tour was incredibly disorganized: although we had scheduled a private tour, we waited for almost an hour, only to find out the the person who was to be our guide would not come in that day, so we were shepherded to a more generic tour in Italian. If you visit, enjoy the scenery and the wines and bring lots of patience.

Fantastic Wine Tour in Taurasi
We scheduled this private wine tour while we were staying on the Amalfi coast - so glad we did. This is a small vineyard, who has purposely kept their production small. The owner is onsite, and his art work and inventions are on display.

Once you arrive you feel quite at home and our guide took us through their amazing cellar and showed us the production line. The wines are fantastic and reasonably priced and can be shipped to the US.

The location is gorgeous, the building itself is old and new at the same time. Nicely done!
