The Amalfi Lemon Tour takes place in the breathtaking setting of the Amalfi Historical Garden - a remarkable example of the region’s traditional terrace farming, located on the path to Pontone. These are no ordinary gardens - this is vertical farming at its most challenging and beautiful. Each terrace is supported by wooden poles that bear the weight of sprawling lemon branches, which cascade down from one level to the next, all the way into the valley. As sunlight filters through the leaves, especially at sunset, the atmosphere becomes truly magical - offering a deep sense of connection to both nature and the centuries of hard work that shaped this unique landscape.
