Full DescriptionDiscover Herculaneum: Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum was preserved under a deep layer of volcanic mud during the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D., offering an exceptional level of preservation. As you stroll through the ancient streets, visit the ruins of villas, baths, shops, and more, you’ll step back in time to experience the daily life of the Romans. Your expert guide will provide fascinating stories and insights about this UNESCO World Heritage site. Wine Tasting at a Local Vineyard: After exploring Herculaneum, you’ll head to a local vineyard on the slopes of Mt. Vesuvius. Learn about the unique volcanic soil that creates some of Italy’s most renowned wines. Enjoy a guided tour of the vineyard, followed by a wine tasting of several varieties, including the famous "Lacryma Christi," a wine with a history dating back to Roman times. The tasting will be paired with a light lunch featuring regional specialties such as bruschetta, cured meats, vegetables, and a main dish, often pasta with a local tomato sauce. Depending on the venue, you may also enjoy a dessert or a cheese tasting. Hike to the Crater of Mt. Vesuvius: After lunch and wine tasting, head to the iconic Mt. Vesuvius for a memorable hike to its crater. The ascent offers sweeping views of the Gulf of Naples, Sorrento, Capri, and the islands of Procida and Ischia. Whether you trek all the way to the summit or enjoy the vistas along the way, the spectacular scenery is sure to take your breath away. We reserve the right to adjust the order of visits based on timing and availability.
