During the eruption of Vesuvius Pompeii and its inhabitants were buried by tons of volcanic ash, preserving objects and human casts in perfect conditions.
During the centuries multiple eruptions have changed its morphology, today the crater has a diameter of about 500 meters and a depth of approximately 230 meters.
Private Transfer in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle with your licences driver.
This is the Vesuvian land where the fertile volcanic soil gives distinctive properties to the autochthonous vines and grapes: Piedirosso, Aglianico, Caprettone, Caprettone, Falanghina e Catalanesca.
The excursion is characterised by the visit of the vineyards, observation of lithologies that highlight the extreme stratification of volcanic soils.
This wine experience will take place between vineyards cultivated on the lava of Vesuvio.
Here you'll be able to see the mixed composition of volcanic soil, result of several eruptions, learn about the traditional local wine making process as well as about the passion and sacrifices of this heroic viticulture.
Time to relax and tasting 5 types of wine, including 3 Superior DOP Lacryma Christi (red; white and rosè), literally the "tears of Christ", produced in this area since Ancient Roman times.
These wines with ancient origins will be accompanied by delicious local food: a menu that includes extra virgin olive oil tasting, one antipasto, two main courses and a dessert. The terrace where the wine tasting and lunch take place offers a stunning view on Sorrento Coast, Capri Island, Pompei and the the Vesuvius itself.
Private Transfer from the Winery to your hotel on the Amalfi Coast (your initial pick up point).
