About this tour
A seven-to-eight-hour outing from Sorrento that pairs archaeological exploration with local viticulture. You'll spend roughly two hours picking through Herculaneum's remarkably preserved streets and dwellings, then head to a nearby winery for lunch and tastings at your own expense. Private air-conditioned transport moves you between sites. This suits travellers comfortable with moderate walking and standing among ruins.

- Two hours exploring Herculaneum's ghostly Roman streets
- Winery lunch and tastings overlooking the Campania region

- Seamless Sorrento pickup and return
- Mix of archaeology and viticulture in one day
What to expect
You'll depart Sorrento in a private, air-conditioned car and drive to Herculaneum, where you'll have roughly two hours to wander the excavated Roman town at your own pace. The site is compact but steep in places, with uneven surfaces and stairs common. Bring water and sturdy shoes. After exploring, your driver takes you to a working winery where you can order lunch and taste local wines (both paid separately). The return journey to Sorrento closes out the day.
Good to know
Herculaneum tickets and self-guided entry are your responsibility. Wear comfortable walking shoes with good grip; the site is uneven. Bring sunscreen and water. This tour demands moderate fitness; steep paths and prolonged standing aren't suitable for those with limited cardiovascular capacity.
