This private experience pairs the archaeological significance of Pompeii with the distinctive wine culture found on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius. Once a thriving Roman city, Pompeii was preserved by the eruption of A.D. 79, leaving behind frescoed villas, paved streets, and public buildings that offer a rare look into ancient daily life. With context provided by an expert guide, travelers gain a deeper appreciation for the city’s art, engineering, and social history, along with the poignant stories reflected in its plaster casts.

The day continues at a Vesuvian winery known for cultivating grapes in volcanic soil, a landscape that has shaped regional winemaking for centuries. A guided tasting introduces expressive local varietals, complemented by seasonal dishes influenced by traditional Neapolitan flavors. The combination of archaeological discovery and culinary heritage offers a balanced and memorable encounter with this part of southern Italy, blending culture, history, and landscape into one engaging experience.
