About this tour
Visit Cantina del Vesuvio, a third-generation family winery on Vesuvius's sun-soaked southern slopes, for a guided vineyard tour and paired lunch. The Russo family tends small-batch Lacryma Christi DOP organic vines with views across the Bay of Naples to Capri and Sorrento. You'll taste five wines alongside regional dishes, learning how volcanic soil and Mediterranean light shape each vintage. Includes hotel pickup from the Amalfi Coast and return.

What to expect
You'll be collected from your Amalfi Coast hotel and driven to the winery's vineyard on Vesuvius's volcanic slopes. A member of the Russo family guides you through the rows, explaining their techniques and the terroir that defines the wines. The tasting follows in the cellar: five carefully selected bottles, each paired with a different course—local cheeses, cured meats, pasta, seafood, and dessert. The meal moves at a relaxed pace, no rushing. Views from the property sweep across the bay; on clear days you spot Capri and the Sorrento peninsula. The whole experience runs about five hours.
Good to know
The winery is wheelchair accessible throughout. Bring sunscreen and comfortable walking shoes for the vineyard section. The lunch is substantial; eat lightly beforehand if you prefer. Designated drivers and those avoiding alcohol should book ahead to discuss non-alcoholic pairings.
