About this tour
Walk through four hectares of vineyard near Pompeii's ruins, then taste wines paired with dishes rooted in Roman cooking. The Cantina del Vesuvio sits among archaeological remains and stone cellars where you'll learn how volcanic soil shaped the region's winemaking. A three-to-four-hour experience that moves between vines and the tasting room. Food and drink tastings available separately (€32–€40).

What to expect
You'll arrive at the winery and walk the grounds with a guide, moving through working vineyards and past stone structures that show how Vesuvius's legacy shaped production here. The route is accessible and paced for general fitness levels. Back indoors, you'll taste several wines and learn their profiles. If you've booked the food package, expect a seated meal with courses inspired by what Romans ate, finishing with dessert and after-dinner drinks. The whole visit runs three to four hours at a steady, unhurried tempo.
