About this activity
Escape your cruise ship for an immersive 2.5-hour journey through a working winery set on the slopes near Pompeii, where knowledgeable guides lead you through vineyard-lined grounds before unveiling the region's volcanic wines paired with Roman-inspired Neapolitan cuisine. This shore excursion combines archaeology, viticulture, and gastronomy in one expertly curated experience.
A magical experience for some of the most characteristic cities of the south, experience with experienced people who will be very eloquent in showing you the monuments and cities. The program is structured with a guided tour within the 4 hectares of the winery close to the archaeological site of Pompeii, among historical testimonies, vineyards and elegant structures of the cellar. The tour ends with a tasting of varied wines and a traditional Neapolitan menu of dishes inspired by ancient Rome. Lunch (all inclusive) with digestives and desserts is € 32 or € 40 per person depending on the course, and is not included in the tour price.
On request, with an extra payment to be agreed, you can take a tour to the center of Pompeii to visit the famous Pontifical / Sanctuary.
