Full Description

Explore Herculaneum: Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum was buried under a thick layer of volcanic mud during the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D., preserving the site in remarkable detail. Wander through the ancient streets, explore the remains of villas, baths, and shops, and immerse yourself in the everyday life of the Romans before disaster struck. Your expert guide will share fascinating facts about this UNESCO World Heritage site.

Wine Tasting at a Local Vineyard: After your time in Herculaneum, visit a charming vineyard located on the slopes of Mt. Vesuvius. Learn about the volcanic soil that gives rise to some of the region's finest wines. Enjoy a guided tour of the vineyard, followed by a wine tasting featuring several varieties, including the legendary “Lacryma Christi,” a wine with roots tracing back to Roman times. The tasting will be paired with a light lunch of regional delicacies such as bruschetta, cured meats, vegetables, and a main dish, typically pasta with local tomato sauce. Depending on the location, you may also enjoy a dessert or cheese tasting.

Hike to the Crater of Mt. Vesuvius: After your delightful lunch and wine tasting, make your way to Mt. Vesuvius. The hike to the crater is an unforgettable experience, offering stunning panoramic views of the Gulf of Naples, Sorrento, Capri, and the islands of Procida and Ischia. Whether you reach the summit or simply enjoy the views along the way, the landscape is sure to leave you in awe.
