Mount Vesuvius daily tour with wine tasting

Painted over the centuries by various artists, Mount Vesuvius is the natural reference point of the Gulf of Naples. Tragically known as the destroyer of the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, the volcano is definitely a must-see for every tourist.

This tour is an unforgettable experience that will allow you to admire the Gulf of Naples from the top of the mountain. The tour departs daily from Naples, after a 2nd stop in Pompeii to pick up other passengers. The guide will lead you to the slopes of the mountain where you can stop in a local restaurant with a breathtaking view of the Gulf of Naples. Taste local food and enjoy wine from the vineyards located on the mountain. The Vesuvian territory is still today characterized by the presence of ancient wine varieties present in many vineyards.

Each wine (from Lacryma Christi to Caprettone) is able to tell the history of the territory and its traditions. The tour will continue until reaching 1000m of altitude where the guide will help you with the purchase of tickets to visit the crater. From the ticket office you will walk to the actual peak of the volcano to see the crater and hear the explanation from the professional National Park guide. You will admire the summit of Monte Somma (1133 m) and on the right the cone of Vesuvius (1281 m), both separated by a valley, called Valle del Gigante.

After 2 hours of free time to reach the summit and take photos, you can reach the parking lot, where the driver will pick you up and take you back to Naples.
