About this tour
Spend a day exploring Pompeii's haunting ruins with a knowledgeable local guide, then head to the volcanic slopes of Mt Vesuvius for lunch and wine tasting at a traditional winery. The region's volcanic soil produces distinctive varieties like Lacryma Christi, a wine with centuries of pedigree. Hotel pickup and drop-off is arranged from Naples, Salerno, the Amalfi Coast, or nearby cruise ports. The full experience takes seven hours.

What to expect
Your driver collects you from your accommodation or port and drives you to Pompeii, where you'll spend two hours walking the excavated streets with an expert guide. The ruins are substantial—comfortable shoes matter. Afterwards, you travel to a family-run vineyard nestled on Vesuvius's lower slopes. A seated lunch featuring regional produce pairs with tastings of several wines, from crisp sparkling Falanghina to the deeper reds the area is known for. The winery visit is relaxed and unhurried, giving you time to understand how volcanic minerals shape the wines.
Good to know
Wear sturdy, comfortable footwear for Pompeii's uneven ground. The tasting involves alcohol, so you must be of legal drinking age. Itineraries may shift due to site closures or crowds. Prams, wheelchairs, and service animals are accommodated. All passengers are charged at adult rates.
