Overview

This is sa Full Day private tour with private driver and guide.
Our driver will pick you up at your hotel on the Amalfi Coast (select towns).

Start your day explore the top of Mount Vesuvius, where with your private guide you’ll be able to explore its Crater and a path with stunning views on the Bay of Naples, Capri, the Sorrento coastline and Ischia.
During the eruption of Vesuvius Pompeii and its inhabitants were buried by tons of volcanic ash, preserving objects and human casts in perfect conditions.
Over the course of the centuries multiple eruptions have changed its morphology. In fact today the crater has a diameter of about 500 meters and a depth of approximately 230 meters.

Your driver will take you in a winery located on a gentle slope of the Mount Vesuvius on the south-west side of the Vesuvius National Park declared in 1995 affected by eruptions over the years 1794, 1906, 1944. 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.

Additional info:
– The area is particularly exposed, with minimal shade, so it is recommended to use a sunscreen and to wear a hat.

Wow!! Just wow!!

Where to start?! This was by far our best day on our 12 day holiday in Italy! Planning this sort of experience from the internet, you would naturally have questions/concerns, but Antonio made it so easy. The excursion was so different from the usual tours: visiting the vineyards on volcanic soil with stunning views, Maria Paola, the winery owner, was so welcoming and knowledgeable, explaining how they grow, cultivate and produce organic wine. The private transfer and excursion on Vesuvius was just perfect. Food and wine simply delicious!
