Pompeii & Vesuvius Wine tour

Description

This is a story of a family, talking about passion. A family with viticulture in the DNA, a land buried by the sun and heated by the periodic lava flows, a vine whose origins are legendary. The Lacryma Christi and other great Volcanic wines story is written by a gorgeous and wild nature and by an enthusiastic family who knows since a long time how to pamper this land growing its precious fruits. The azienda, owning to the same family since 1800, is nowadays owned by Paolo and his son Giuseppe, who dedicate their lives to the family’s wine yards and to the wine-making art.

Day program:

Drive to Pompeii. Meet your expert private guide and visit of the archaeological site. With our guide the ancient Pompeii will come alive: the streets, the thermal baths, the forum, the houses, the lupanare and the buried bodies of the ancient Pompeiani are so well-maintained that it will be very easy to imagine how it appeared 2000 years ago.
