Pompeii Uncovered, Vesuvius Uncorked: History & Wine combined

Exclusive Experience

Step straight into the streets of ancient Pompeii with a private archaeologist-guide who brings to life villas, bathhouses and frescoes frozen in time by Vesuvius’ eruption. As you walk, you can almost hear the echoes of daily life in this once-bustling city. Afterwards, you swap ruins for rows of vines at a nearby volcanic winery, where vineyards hug the slopes of the volcano. A relaxed lunch under a vine-covered pergola pairs traditional Campanian dishes with sparkling, white, orange and red wines, each glass telling its own story of ash-rich soil and sun.

You start the day with your private driver collecting you from your hotel and taking you towards the ancient city of Pompeii, one of the most extraordinary archaeological sites in the world. This experience works perfectly as a check-in or check-out day activity, and can easily be done on the way to or from Naples.

At the entrance, you meet your trusted Pompeii expert for a private guided visit. With express entry and insider knowledge, you step straight into the heart of the ruins, walking in the footsteps of the ancient Romans. As you explore homes, forums, bathhouses, and beautifully preserved frescoes, your guide brings the city vividly to life – explaining how an ordinary day in 79 A.D. was frozen in time when Mount Vesuvius erupted.

From ancient ruins to modern-day indulgence, your next stop is a local winery set against the backdrop of Vesuvius itself. Nestled on the edge of the archaeological area, this boutique vineyard feels like a hidden gem. You learn about their volcanic-soil vines and sustainable growing techniques, tour the cellars, and then sit down to a long, relaxed lunch.

Under a pergola of grapevines, you enjoy traditional Campanian dishes paired with a tasting of their wines – sparkling, white, orange, and red – each one telling its own story of the land. It’s a beautiful introduction to the warmth, flavours, and hospitality that define this region.

After lunch, your driver continues the journey along the coast or back towards your accommodation.
