Vesuvius Tour and Winery Experience

Experience an unforgettable journey through the majesty of Mount Vesuvius and the authentic flavors of Campania. This tour combines adventure, breathtaking landscapes, and wine culture.

Part 1: Adventure on Mount Vesuvius

Departing from Sorrento, a comfortable air-conditioned minibus will take you along a scenic route with spectacular views of the Gulf of Naples. After about 1.5 hours, you’ll reach the Vesuvius National Park at an altitude of approximately 1,000 meters. Here begins the hike to the crater, a 500-meter gravel trail that requires good physical condition but rewards you with an extraordinary sense of connection to nature.

Walk across solidified lava and cracks that still emit smoke and heat, evidence of the volcano’s activity. Once at the summit, you’ll have about an hour to explore the crater and enjoy unparalleled panoramic views of Vesuvius, Naples, and the entire gulf. This stop offers a thrilling, immersive experience perfect for nature and adventure lovers.

Part 2: Wine Tasting and Lunch at a Winery

After your adventure on Vesuvius, the tour continues to the renowned Cantina del Vesuvio, located on the fertile slopes of the volcano. This winery is famous for producing Lacryma Christi, a wine that blends tradition and innovation, made unique by the volcanic soil and Mediterranean climate.

During your visit, you’ll explore the vineyards, learn about cultivation and production techniques, and discover the secrets of a territory that has been producing high-quality wines for centuries. Following this, a light lunch featuring local products awaits, paired with a tasting of five fine wines. Highlights of the menu include:

• Appetizer: A selection of cured meats, local cheeses, and bruschetta with Piennolo cherry tomatoes.
• First Course: Spaghetti with tomato and basil.
• Dessert: Neapolitan pastiera, accompanied by sweet wines or liqueurs such as passito or apricot liqueur.

This moment is not just a culinary experience but a journey into the flavors and traditions of the Vesuvius region.
