Pompeii is the most stunning archaeological site on the Italian Peninsula and one of the most visited. The ruins of Pompeii are an open air museum where visitors can go back in time and discover a city that had been buried in ashes until 1748. Visitors experience the city much as it existed more than 2000 years ago.

At Vesuvius National Park, travelers explore one of the world’s most famous volcanic landscapes. After a scenic drive up Mount Vesuvius, you’ll walk along the crater’s edge, peering into its steaming depths and enjoying panoramic views of the Bay of Naples, Sorrento, and surrounding countryside. Knowledgeable guides explain the volcano’s geology, historic eruptions—including the 79 AD disaster that buried Pompeii and Herculaneum—and the unique flora and fauna that thrive in volcanic soil. Visitors can take photos, breathe the crisp mountain air, and learn how the volcano shaped local life and culture. This visit combines adventure, natural beauty, and history for an unforgettable experience.

After a morning exploring the ancient ruins of Pompeii and hiking the slopes of Mount Vesuvius, travelers will unwind at a picturesque vineyard perched on the volcano’s fertile slopes. Here, the vineyard produces the celebrated Lacryma Christi wine, literally “Tear of Christ,” grown in mineral-rich volcanic soil that gives the wines their unique character. Guests will enjoy a leisurely lunch paired with a guided wine tasting, sampling a selection of local wines alongside traditional Italian dishes such as cheeses, cured meats, and fresh bread. As you sip and savor, the stunning view of Mount Vesuvius unfolds, just as the ancient inhabitants of Pompeii once gazed upon it. This experience blends relaxation, gastronomy, and history, offering a moment to connect with the land, the people, and the volcanic heritage that makes this region—and its wines—truly unforgettable.
