Tenuta Cavalier Pepe

Campania, Italy

#14 World's Best Vineyard 2024

You’ll feel at one with the Campania countryside after a stay at Tenuta Cavalier Pepe. Family run for generations, it offers a roster of activities utilising every aspect of the estate: hiking and biking tours across its 55 hectares of vineyards and 11 olive groves, for example. The ‘Walking and Wine Tasting Tour’ starts with breakfast to fuel your day, ready for seven wines and a blind tasting workshop testing your sense of taste with jam and marmalade. The enthusiastic team provides comprehensive tours of the vineyards and winery, all leading on to a guided tasting (options available) and, if you book in advance, lunch at La Collina – a sensitively renovated old farmhouse restaurant amid the vines, gardens and olive groves, where local produce reigns. Make a night (or week of it) at one of the two apartments hidden amongst the vines, looking out onto the Irpinia hillside from your own private terrace.
