About this tour
Spend 4–6 hours exploring Pompeii's haunting Roman streets before heading to a working vineyard on Vesuvius's slopes for lunch and local wine. This private tour from Sorrento pairs archaeology with regional flavours, letting you wander the preserved city at your own pace, then settle in to eat and drink where the grapes grow. You arrange tickets separately and pay for lunch on arrival at the winery.

What to expect
You'll arrive at Pompeii with time to explore the sprawling excavation independently or with a hired guide (book in advance if wanted). Wander between intact houses, workshops, and public buildings where the volcanic eruption of 79 AD stopped life mid-stream. Expect uneven stone paths, no shade, and crowds. Afterwards, your driver takes you to a family vineyard on the volcanic slopes where you'll sit down to a leisurely lunch, trying local dishes alongside the estate's own wines. The contrast between ancient ruin and living agricultural landscape frames the region's continuity.
Good to know
Book your excavation ticket online before the tour to avoid queues. Lunch costs extra—paid directly at the winery. Bring water, sun protection, and sturdy shoes for the uneven ancient streets. Not suitable for those with spinal injuries or significant heart conditions. Infant seats available on request.
