This excursion is recommended to people who want to visit the ruins of Pompeii, have lunch with wine tasting at the feet of Mount Vesuvius and visit an olive oil factory with free tasting.
Your English speaking driver will pick you up at the Sorrento port in the morning at 8:30am.
The first stop will be at the Archeological site of Pompeii, which is the old town that was buried by Lava from the Catastrophic Eruption of Mount Vesuvius spanning two days in 79 A.D. and was excavated only few Centuries ago. In Pompeii you can hire a licensed guide or walk in the ruins for 2 hours on your own.
Then we will drive you to a winery located at the feet of Mount Vesuvius where you can enjoy a wonderful panorama of Sorrento, the island of Capri and the entire bay of Naples. In this farm born after the last eruption of the Volcano Mount Vesuvius (1944) you can taste the wine called Lacryma Christy (tears of Christ). You will be served 4 different types of wine among white, red and rosè, to finish with some spumante and a distilled of apricot that we call (digestivo). Trying these wines you will have also lunch tasting the specialities of the Campania region like bruschetta, provolone, salame and homemade bread like appertizer, then spaghetti with the cherry tomatoes of Mount Vesuvius and to finish with our typical easter cake called "Pastiera Napoletana" (a ricotta and corn pie).
The cost for the wine tasting including lunch, wine and the visit in the vineyard is 45 Euros each person.
