From Naples: Pompeii, Vesuvius & Winery Private Tour｜Italy

Embark on an extraordinary day of history, scenery, and flavor with a private journey from Naples to the ancient ruins of Pompeii and the legendary slopes of Mount Vesuvius, topped off with a wine tasting experience at a local family-run vineyard.

Be picked up from your hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, equipped with Wi-Fi and bottled water, ensuring a relaxing and personalized experience from start to finish. Discuss your itinerary and stops with your driver/guide, and if time isn’t enough, you can ask them to extend the ride directly from their app.

Your first destination is Pompei, one of the most fascinating archaeological sites in the world. Step back in time as you explore this once-thriving Roman city, buried under volcanic ash during the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Wander through the remarkably preserved streets, villas, and public baths, and imagine daily life in the ancient empire as you pass by vibrant frescoes, grand temples, marketplaces, and even a theater.

Whether you choose to explore on your own or with a licensed guide (optional), Pompeii is an awe-inspiring experience that will leave you speechless. Next, your journey continues toward Mount Vesuvius, the sleeping giant that changed the course of history. Nestled on its fertile slopes lies Cantina Del Vesuvio Winery Russo Family, a charming local, family-owned estate that has cultivated vines in this volcanic terrain for generations.

Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed by warm hospitality and sweeping views of the vineyards, Naples Bay, and the surrounding countryside. Here, you’ll enjoy a guided wine tasting featuring a selection of the estate’s finest wines—including the famous Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio, a wine with roots dating back to ancient Rome.

The tasting is beautifully paired with a light lunch of regional delicacies such as local cheeses, cured meats, fresh bread, and olive oil—all produced nearby and rooted in tradition. You’ll learn about the winemaking process, the impact of the volcanic soil, and the rich agricultural history of the region—all while savoring the unique flavors of southern Italy.

After a day full of wonder, stories, and flavors, your driver/guide will take you back to Naples, passing through the beautiful countryside of Campania. Relax in comfort as you return with a deeper appreciation for the region’s ancient history and its enduring connection to the land.
