Taste wines grown in volcanic soil, then eat lunch among the vines

A 4-hour guided wine tasting and lunch on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius near Naples, starting with hotel pickup between 11:00 and 11:30 am. You walk through vineyards learning how the volcanic terrain shapes the grapes, then sit down to a full meal with local cold cuts, spaghetti allo scarpariello, pastry and wines including Falanghina, Lacryma Christi and Aglianico. Transportation, guide, food and wine are all included. The guide speaks English or Italian.

The experience

The tour starts with pickup from your accommodation between 11:00 and 11:30 am, then heads to the wine farm on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius. Once there, a guide takes you through the vineyards to show how the volcanic soil and the mix of modern and traditional techniques shape what grows here. The Greeks started farming these slopes centuries ago, and some of the original grape varieties, like Aglianico, still survive. You'll learn what makes the composition of this soil different, and how the coexistence with other trees, plants and herbs affects the wine's taste.

After the walk through the fields comes the meal. A plentiful tasting menu arrives with local cold cuts and cheeses, spaghetti allo scarpariello, and local pastry: each course paired with a different wine. Lacryma Christi, Aglianico and Falanghina are among the wines you'll taste, all grown on the same volcanic ground you just walked. The meal happens in the vineyard's original environment, so you're eating and drinking in the place where it all comes from.

The whole experience runs about 4 hours, and transportation back to your hotel is included. The guide is live and speaks English or Italian. Minimum of 2 participants required for the tour to run.
