The wines come from the same volcanic soil that buried Pompeii.

A full-day tour from Naples combines a two-hour guided or self-guided walk through Pompeii's ruins with a wine tasting and lunch on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius. You'll see the theater, thermal baths, and wealthy residents' homes, then learn how the region's volcanic ground shapes wines like Falanghina and Lacryma Christi. Transportation from central Naples hotels, entrance tickets (on some options), a guide or audioguide, and a Mediterranean lunch with local wines are included.

The Experience

The day starts with a pickup from one of several central Naples hotels between 8am and 8:45am, depending on which location you choose. A modern coach carries the group to Pompeii, where you spend around two hours exploring the excavations with either a live guide (in English, Spanish, or Italian) or an audioguide. You'll walk through the large theater, the necropolis, the thermal baths, and the houses of the wealthiest residents—the structures that survived the eruption and show how daily life actually worked in an ancient Roman city.

After Pompeii, a brief walk takes you through vineyards on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius itself. The guide explains how the same volcanic soil that buried the city in 79 AD now fertilizes the grapes, giving the wines their distinctive character. You'll learn about varieties like Aglianico, Falanghina, and Lacryma Christi—wines that have been made here for centuries, shaped by periodic lava flows and the mineral-rich earth beneath them.

The tour ends with a Mediterranean lunch tasting served with 100% local products and wines. You sit down to eat and drink in the region where both were made, tasting several of those wines alongside the food. The return journey brings you back to your original pickup point in Naples, with the full day taking six to seven hours from start to finish.
