Pompeii & Vesuvius Winery Tasting
Wander Pompeii’s ash-covered streets, then head to a vineyard on the slopes of Mt. Vesuvius for a guided wine tasting and rustic local lunch.
Entering through the city's Sea Gate, you'll arrive quickly in Pompeii's hub: its Forum, where ancient life and culture thrived. Explore the archaeological site with a guide and see villas, frescoes, and temples preserved by Vesuvius's eruption in 79 AD. Then, you'll head to a vineyard nestled on the volcano’s fertile slopes. Learn how the rich soil shapes Lacryma Christi wines, and enjoy a rustic tasting paired with salami, bruschetta, and regional cheeses.
