About this tour
Spend eight hours exploring the volcanic history and flavours of the Campania region. Start at Pompei's haunting ruins, then head to a family-run winery nestled at Vesuvius's base for a four-course lunch paired with six regional wines. Your private driver collects you from Naples, Salerno, Amalfi, or Positano and handles all transfers between sites, leaving you free to absorb the landscapes and stories. An optional on-site guide deepens the Pompei experience; lunch and tastings settle directly with the winery.
Highlights

What to expect
Morning archaeological wandering through Pompei's house remains, forums, and amphitheatres at your own pace (hire a guide locally if desired). By midday you'll arrive at the winery's rustic dining space overlooking Vesuvius's cone. Lunch unfolds unhurried: antipasti first, then handmade pasta cooked simply with tomatoes and basil, finishing with cake and fortified wines. Staff pour each of the six wines as you eat, explaining provenance and terroir. Afternoon light softens the slopes as your driver takes you toward Sorrento's clifftop piazza for an hour's exploration before the return journey begins.
Good to know
Pompei entrance and any private guide are separate costs. Winery lunch and wine tasting (€32pp) paid on arrival. Comfortable walking shoes essential for Pompei's uneven stone. Lunch typically lasts two to three hours. All vehicles accommodate wheelchairs and prams.
