About this tour
Walk through the preserved Roman city of Pompeii with a private guide, then travel by shuttle to a winery in Vesuvius National Park for wine and regional food. This 4.5-hour tour covers two millennia of history—from the buried streets and domestic quarters of an ancient metropolis to the volcanic slopes where locals still farm today. Your guide leads you through the archaeological park before lunch and tastings happen at the vineyard itself.
Highlights
- Two-and-a-half hours exploring Pompeii's streets, homes, and public baths
- See the theatre, forum, and other monuments frozen in ash
- Private transport to a working winery on Vesuvius slopes
- Regional cuisine paired with local wines
- Expert guide throughout the archaeological site
What to expect
You'll meet your guide at Coffee Shop Vittoria and head straight into the Archaeological Park. The 2.5-hour walk covers major sites—theatres, decorated villas, bathhouses, the forum—with your guide explaining daily life in the first century CE. Expect uneven ancient paving, some steep sections, and limited shade; bring water and sturdy shoes. After Pompeii, a shuttle takes you to a family winery nestled on Vesuvius's slopes. Here you'll taste the local wines that thrive in volcanic soil, paired with Neapolitan dishes prepared on-site. The winery visit is informal but unhurried.
