What to expect
Your guide meets you and drives to Pompeii, where you'll spend a couple of hours walking the ancient streets—forums, villas, amphitheatres—with context and stories. Afterward, head to the winery nestled on Vesuvius's slopes. You'll taste several local wines in the tasting room or garden, then sit down to a simple lunch featuring regional specialties: handmade pasta dressed with those distinctive piennolo tomatoes, local cheeses, and more wine. The pace is leisurely; your guide remains available for questions.
