On our way from Rome to Sorrento, our driver asked if we'd like to stop at a winery in front of Mount Vesuvius. What a question! Of course we would! Cantina del Vesuvio didn't disappoint! Beautiful winery with the volcano hovering in the background. We were first given a tour of the small winery. The girl doing it did a great job providing info in multiple languages. We had a sample of all the different wines, then a fantastic lunch. The cheese and the pasta were amazing! This was such a unique experience, it was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy! read more

This place is great. The food is awesome and the view is beautiful. The tour is just ok. It is fairly short and they did not go into a ton of detail. It all depends on if your there to learn about wine or just have a little experience After the tour you sit on the roof with a spectacular view. Mountain and vineyard to your back and the med to your front. Great time read more

I was there with my MIL on a tour hosted by Antionette. I loved the experience of learning about the winery, wine tasting, meal and bought wine. I'm also placing an order for the red wine vinegar. I want to let the owner know that his being there and speaking with my MIL while I toured the winery, it left a lasting impression on her. I also loved the view. read more

Omg this was Sorprendente and exactly what we were looking for! We drive up and have a glass of wine, go upstairs and the wine and food start flowing - we never ordered anything, yet loved everything - even our 8 & 14 years old kids had a blast! My wife and daughter don't drink so they loved the blood red orange juice which is like nothing you've ever tasted! Everything was wonderful and the setting was out of a movie. I won't visit this region without going back! read more

This is a wonderful winery with great service you need to visit if you're in the Sorrento, Naples and Pompeii area! We spent the morning at Pompeii and then had a wine tasting and 3 course lunch at Cantina del Vesuvio. It has great views of Mount Vesuvius! Had a few bottles of wine and red wine vinegar shipped to my home in the US. read more

Paradise! The scenery alone is worth the visit. We had lunch and wine tasting. The food was good for not being a restaurant, it was as good as a few we ate at. The wine was spectacular! Highly recommend visiting this 40 acres of pure beauty and good wine. read more

The view and lunch is 5 stars! Wine is more like a 3.5 stars. Our private driver offered us to stop at this winery for lunch on our way from Rome to Sorrento, so I didn't know what to expect. It was a gorgeous day and we didn't have anything plan, so why not! We had a quick tour of the winery and learned that the volcanic deposits from Vesuvius are enriched in elements. When volcanic rock and ash weathers, these elements are released, producing extremely fertile soils. Very interesting! We then sat down on a lovely rooftop with view of Mount Vesuvius. We had the superior lunch/wine tasting for $45 euros per person. It was 3 courses. The spaghetti with tomatoes sauce was simple and heavenly! The wine was mediocre except for the reserve wine. Maybe I'm a bit bias, but California has the best wine in my opinion. Nevertheless, it was still a fun experience. read more

My biggest regret at this winery was not having enough time. What fantastic wines and for a non restaurant, reality delicious food. Can't begin to explain what fresh cherry tomato sauce can do to a plate of pasta. Then add some seriously great wine and you will completely understand my opening comment. The service was fantastic and accommodating, and the views from the middle of the vineyard, fantastic! My favorite wines were the Blanco and the Rosso, simply because I love sharing wine and those two will bring joy! The other superiore wines were definitely in a class of their own. Main flavors of the whites were crisp citrusy flavors, and the reds were rich dark fruits. I know everyone has their ways but I believe these notes were basic to the wines. Wish I had the time to enjoy the other flavors. Hopefully the next time I come to the Naples area. Go and enjoy!! read more

We came here for a wine tasting & lunch. It was spectacularly fun. I bought several bottles of wine while leaving. They served us fresh pasta with tomato sauce and meatball. I wouldn't say the food was the best pasta I've had an Italy, but they experience overall was really charming. I will definitely go back if in the area. We booked this as part of a Pompeii tour. read more

Wine tasting + Lunch = Magnificent. The team at Cantina del Vesuvio was a pleasant experience from the views to the vino (the literal and the sleeping fur baby named Vino) Carmine was a joy to experience and gave a thoughtful tour of the bottling, labeling and the style of their grapes. We shall be back and hopefully with friends! read more

Beautiful location next to Vesuvius with welcoming staff. We booked a tour, wine tasting, and 3 course meal. The tour takes you through the vineyard, production, and cellar with information about the land and history of the area. The tasting has 4 delicious wines paired with fresh, delicious food. Meat, cheese, bruschetta followed by pasta and meatballs, and finally a slice of cake. We hung by the bar after and the very friendly staff insisted we try the apricot liquor and even a couple more wines we did not get on the tour, all on the house. We were called "family" numerous times, told to stay as long as we wished, to just sit and relax, and were explained how important it was this family could share their wine and winery with us and other visitors. Amazing and authentic people who truly want you there experiencing their products. This is well worth the drive up if you're in Naples. read more

To cut to the chase, the wine and food are good. But the whole thing could use improvements. The main staff giving the tours are very good and engaged, but a lot of the other staff had sour looks a lot of the time, despite us buying a lot of the wine. Also we had a private driver from Rome to Positano, and our driver randomly suggested we could stop at this place, but then every other group at this winery also had a private driver and the staff here asked us "which driver we came with." When we had other drivers for other trips throughout Italy in the area, they also suggested we go here. Not very genuine. We also still have not received our wine or olive oil that we ordered. read more

I could have spent my entire Italian vacation at this gem. This family owned winery is a top tier experience, and affordable too. There is nothing like learning about something from people who are passionate on the topic. The family and entire experience is the embodiment of hospitality. After a tour of the grounds, you are able to take in the view and enjoy a 5 course meal which is included in the price of your tour. I highly recommend adding this winery to your Italy itinerary. read more

Volcanic soil so they don't need water on their vines! Incredible wine, and full service with local lunch snacks and full food options if desired. Staff will tell you all the history of the winery and I would have to say, they have THE BEST BALSAMIC AND OIL on the planet!! Buy in the shop, or ship home if you don't have space. You can join their wine club online also. read more

One of our most memorable family experiences while visiting the area! Ester welcomed us into her home, including our 3 year old granddaughter, and taught us all the fun parts of making some authentic italian dishes. The wine was amazing, the setting serene, the food sublime and the hospitality was genuine and world-class! Thank you Ester! The Woolfolks read more

We did a private cooking class and wine tour here and this was the highlight of our 10 day trip to Italy. The love and passion that goes into the food and wine at Cantina del Vesuvio is unmatched. Ester shared her family recipes with us and we created a beautiful lunch together. If you are in the area, I cannot recommend this winery enough! I would plan a half day trip here and enjoy the tranquil beauty of this magical place. We enjoyed several varietals and loved them all so much so that we joined their wine club. They even offer free shipping to the US! Do not miss this place! read more

I'm not sure I can properly describe how amazing this winery and the host, Giovani, are. The Airbnb on site was absolutely amazing. It was a private house on a vineyard with mount Vesuvius in the backyard. The winery has private security at all times which made us feel incredible secure and safe on our own. The house was absolutely beautiful and exactly as advertised. The house alone would warrant a 5/5 rating, but what truly made our stay was the helpfulness and generosity of the host. Giovani is truly one of the most generous people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. From the minute we got to the winery he made sure that we had absolutely everything we needed. This included some free samples of their wine (which is incredible) and his guarantee that he would be available for us 24/7. He gave us many recommendations for local food and attractions throughout our stay, which ended up being extremely helpful. He even went out of his way to personally pick us up at 8:30 AM to bring us to the train station on the day we left. He also dropped off warm pastries from a local bakery before to ensure that we had a full stomach before leaving. Giovani's helpfulness and generosity made our stay absolutely wonderful. I cannot recommend this this winery and this airbnb highly enough. We are absolutely planning to go back the next time we are in Italy. This listing deserves a much higher rating than 5/5. Highly highly highly recommend booking if this is available. read more

~ GLUTEN FREE REVIEW ~ My family and I visited the winery after our tour of Pompeii. We had a wonderful time, and I would definitely recommend it. We had a lunch of meats and cheeses, wine (3 or 4 tastings I believe), pasta, and dessert. I was so excited because Cantina del Vesuvio was very accommodating for gluten free people! They provided gluten free bread for the meat and cheese appetizer, and even had gluten free pasta! It was delicious, and I was so appreciative. If the weather is nice, I would definitely recommend having lunch here. It is really pleasant to eat outside on their patio looking out at the vineyard. My family and I visited in December, and the landscape was not particularly green, so i would imagine that it would be even more beautiful in the warmer months. Our tour guide called ahead and informed the Cantina that we we were coming and that one person needed a gluten free meal. He made the reservation in Italian, but the staff seemed to be pretty fluent in English (and very kind!), so I think you could make a reservation in English as well. The tour of the winery at the beginning of our time at Cantina del Vesuvio was not a highlight, but it was brief and somewhat interesting. Come for the wine and the atmosphere and a gluten free friendly meal! read more

Oh you have to visit this place, views are spectacular!! It was a dream! We had a wine tasting session and lunch on a beautiful sunny day, spectacular views. One side you are looking at the ocean and to the other you are looking at Mount Vesuvius! Family owned, everyone was so friendly and gracious. Beautiful beautiful experience! Wines were excellent and they ship them too, that's what we decided to do, placed the order and instead of carrying everything through airports we had it ship to our homes and should arrive in a week. Can't wait! read more

We went with our tour guide Paolo. The other option that he suggested was a seafood restaurant; since we had seafood the night before, we elected the winery experience. We are so glad that we did! Disclaimer--most of the other people there were also on tours so if that sort of thing turns you off, FYI. Anyway, Paolo kept mentioning the fresh tomatoes used that are famous world-wide (san maranzano) that were grown fresh and used for the pasta and bruschetta. The local cheese was great as well. The pasta was served somewhat al dente and had a hot tomato and basil sauce which was great. Our dessert consisted of a simple sponge cake with nuts and ricotta cheese that was a nice ending to the meal. Did we mention the wine? Essentially, the fixed meal includes 4 flights of wine as well as a grappa to finish (which was too strong for me--but I'm a light weight). We also got a tour of the vineyards, bottling apparatus and olive orchards by our server. All in all, it was a great end to our tour of the Amalfi coast. The weather was a bit foggy so we couldn't see Capri from the vineyards, but we were up close and personal with Mt. Vesuvius. read more

I booked my visit through Air BNB, and felt like the price was good for the quantity and quality of the food, along with the short tour and train station transfer. TL;DR - 100% recommended for the delicious food, incredible wine, amazing scenery, and genuine southern Italian hospitality. The food is not anything unique or elaborate, but it is well prepared and features the flavors of the region. If you want to come at a different time than is available online, just message them, as they are very flexible. This is a perfect experience after days of sightseeing and being scorched by the summer heat. Transfer from the train station was no problem, and you are whisked away in an air conditioned Mercedes van to the beautiful vigneto within minutes. Giusy was my guide on the tour and I would recommend her to anyone. If you want a super in-depth tour of a winery, this may not be for you. If you just like to drink wine and want to know a little more about a family owned winery, this is perfect. At many wineries (especially in Italy), your guide will talk A LOT without actually telling you very much at all. Not here! Giusy will tell you the legend of the "tears of Jesus," a brief history of Vesuvio, the importance of the soil, the techniques they use to maintain a 100% organic system, how they age and store the wine, and more in a way that is direct without being abrupt. She will not bore you with the details - that is, unless you ask in which case she is as knowledgeable as any wrinkly old guy from Napa or Toscana. It's quick but still engaging, entertaining, and insightful. She will also offer to take a picture of you with Vesuvio in the background to send back to your mamma (grazie, Giusy - mamma is very grateful). The tour set the tone for the rest of my experience - every single person I encountered was warm, inviting, knowledge, and expressed genuine interest in how I was enjoying the experience. Giovanni, Giusy, Angela, Vincenzo, and more really give you an authentic experience. Oh, I should probably mention that the food and wine are exceptional. Though all of their wines are DOC (a symbol/standard of high quality), the superior tasting uses the "superior" line of wines (they've been aged more/differently/come from the best of the best batch). Each wine is paired with a course in the meal, and each course features ingredients from the region specifically selected for their quality. The sequence of wines really showcased the flavors of the region, and they paired perfectly with each course. Additionally, you will taste a special vinegar (made from their grapes, of course) and olive oil (also grown on the property) that are wonderful. The vinegar in particular is unlike anything I've ever had before and I bought a bottle to take home. I personally did not feel rushed through my meal, but they do take in tour groups so that may impact your experience. read more

We had a destination wedding and this was part of our 3 days tour/celebration. When you book something like this, you just dont know what to expect. We made our reservation and hoped things would go well. They could not have gone better. We did the wine tasting lunch for 28 euros. Which came with a trio appetizer of bruchetta, and local meat & cheese. I couldn't get enough of the fresh bread with their amazing oil oil and vinegar. These were perfectly paired with 3 different wines. Next came the local pasta again perfectly paired. The meal was completed with dessert pair with their dessert wine. The staff did such a great job accommodating such a large party including three children. Even at the end when we were all in the shop purchasing wine and vinegar to go they were curious and quickly got us all checked out. I'll definitely be back the next time I am in this area of Italy. read more

Great atmosphere and good wine! Also a beautiful view of Vesuvius. Would definitely recommend again

Absolutely fabulous experience! This was truly a great visit, it starts with a short tour of their production, with stunning views at every angle. It is very neat to be so close to the volcano and the space is modern and beautiful. Then you do lunch, which was so so good. Especially the carrots! Loved the pasta and all the wines, especially the reserve ones. Also enjoyed their vinaigrette. It's a perfect destination for lunch with great views and unique wine. It was much smoother and cleaner tasting compared to other kinds we've had. A must visit! read more

We have been to better. Upon arriving we were met by a lovely young woman who gave us a brief tour around the grounds just outside of the dining area. There were 6 in our group and once we sat down we felt very rushed. There was very little explanation about the wine itself and the food arrived. We could hardly keep up with the rapid pace that the servers were setting. Multiple times we requested them to slow down. Some people had different wines in their glasses as we were being given a rundown of the wine the server had in her hand. The pasta was very undercooked almost crunchy. Once the lunch was over, that was the last we saw of our server. We were given a check and proceeded to settle up our bill. The wines were not impressive and overall it was a frustrating visit. We won't be back read more

Had the best time! Went here for a lil trip on the way to Positano with our girl group ( for a grad trip ). We walked around the winery, listened to explanations of how to make each one, and it was super informational! The wine was delicious, the food was delicious, and the staff was super friendly! Definitely the highlight of our trip! read more

This place was awesome. They have the wine, olives, olive oil, and vinegar. The oil and vinegar were so good I had to order some to take home. Loved the wine, ended up ordering a bunch which they offered to ship to my home for me. And as a geologist, what's more awesome than drinking wine that was made from grapes grown in one of the most well known volcanoes in the world. read more

Beautiful winery and guest house! We stayed one night heading to Amalfi. We did the wine tour and the wine and food were delicious as well. The views of Mount Vesuvius and the Gulf of Naples were incredible. I would recommend this place to anyone in the area or making this your destination. Can't go wrong here. read more

Great food great wine .... the view is spectacular..... after wandering Pompeii this is the perfect way to round out the trip

I'll start off by saying that I rarely write yelp reviews but I was so compelled by our experience at Cantina del Vesuvio that I just had to. My girlfriends and I were vacationing in Italy for a week and decided to do some wine tasting. The food, wine, and ambiance was exceptional. The staff was courteous and attentive. They say that Italians are very welcoming and hospitable- the family that owns this winery, the Russo's, are the epitome of hospitable. They truly treated us like family as opposed to just patrons/guests. Our visit to Pompeii and this beautiful winery was my absolute favorite day of the trip. It actually might be one of my favorite days ever. If you really want to have an authentic taste of Italy, you MUST come here! read more

We stopped here on the way to Amalfi. Delicious food and wine, beautiful views, lovely owners and staff!

The most amazing day of my Mediterranean trip was capped off with a late lunch at the Cantina del Vesuvio Winery at the base of Mt. Vesuvius at the Vesuvius National Park. After we climbed to the top of Mt. Vesuvius and looked into the Crater, and then enjoyed the stunning view of Naples from 4,500 feet above it, we had worked up quite an appetite. Fortunately Cantina del Vesuvio Winery was on our agenda for lunch! First we toured the winery and learned a great deal about how Chianti's, Pinot Grigio's, and Italian Olive Oils are made, and then we were treated to a wonderful wine tasting including the famous Lacryma Christi. The wine tasting was in the restaurant and was followed by a stunning meal including homemade bread, homemade pasta, and the best Tiramisu I've ever eaten anywhere in the world! (Seriously, this was to die for!) If you ever go to Naples, Italy I highly recommend Cantina del Vesuvio Winery at the base of Mt. Vesuvius at the Vesuvius National Park. The wine is a plus--the ambience and the food will be indelibly etched in your memory! read more

Great place to eat at, once you've seen Pompeii. Our tour guide recommended this as the best way to taste local cuisine, he was right. The food and wine matching was excellent, food paired with the wine they make at the winery. The home made olive oil was delicious. A perfect way to end our trip from Sorrento and Amalfi on our way to Rome. read more

Our driver suggested stopping at this winery on our way back from climbing Mt. Vesuvius. What a wonderful place! When we arrived, we were taken on a short tour of the vineyard which is at the base of Mt. Vesuvius. We were then seated on the patio with a lovely view of the Bay of Naples and the mountains. They had a set meal and some of us also did wine tasting (5 wines). The first course was bruschetta with fresh locally-grown tomatoes, cheese and a sampling of meats. The second course was spaghetti with fresh tomato sauce. The third course was a special local favorite cake that is made with grains and ricotta cheese. It was not overly sweet and very tasty. After our meal, the owner's son showed us the vats where they store the wine and where they bottle it. There was a small gift shop where you could buy the wine (we got a bottle of the Reserve). We were expecting the meal/wine tasting to be very expensive, but it was very reasonable. The view and atmosphere were excellent. Because of the recent fires on the volcano, one of the main roads is closed, thus cutting off a lot of their business. It would be well worth taking a detour around to visit this place. read more

Amazing off the beaten path. The wines are great. Wine tasting and lunch for only 50 euros. Seriously great experience and wines. Highly recommend read more

Great place to visit! We had 3 hyper toddlers with a party of 4 adults and they made us feel right at home allowing the children to play in the garden and rock/gravel area while we enjoyed our meal that they set up for us so we can see the children from our table. The staff was great and told us not to worry about the kids and that they love nature so let them be! It was very relaxing and felt safe. The tomatoes were EXCELLENT! You will notice the flavor immediately! The cheese is very good as well! My only complaint is they served us small portions of wine each round. I wished my cup was filled each time so I can really enjoy the wine thoroughly. When I went to pay the bill it was €28 per person which comes out to about $33 a person! Not bad at all! Kids under 6/7 eat free but make sure to remind them as you pay because they almost charged me for our oldest toddler (she is 5). Overall it was a great experience with great views and great people and damn good food! I would say that $135 for 4 adults and 3 kids is more than reasonable! In California I am used to paying a bit more than $50 per person for equivalent service and paired meal. I am very happy with this place and will surely come back someday soon. Thank you! read more

Our driver recommended this place so we went and let me tell you we were not disappointed! The food was delicious and fresh, the wine was exquisite and the staff were extremely nice. Everything they give you is made from the ingredients that come from their vineyard and are grown in the volcanic soil. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious. They start you off with a bread and bruschetta plate which they pair with two different wines. Then they give you a salad and spaghetti with tomato sauce, which they pair with another 2 wines. Finally, they give you a traditional Neapolitan cake and pair with an apricot liquor that was so good the owner noticed and gave me a second helping! We came on a beautiful day and enjoyed the weather outside. We bought two bottles of the wine to take with us. Now in order to enjoy your experience you do have to call ahead and let them know you are coming so they can setup the tour and dining experience. The price is very reasonable per person. This was our favorite meal in Italy! read more

We went to this place with our tour guid after our visit to Pompeii. The atmosphere, food, service, and wine was amazing. It truly was one unforgettable day. We ended up purchasing 24 bottles of their vinegar, olive oil, and wine. The day we arrived home, we received the shipments. read more

My husband and I were on a trip throughout the Amalfi Coast during April 2016. One of the most memorable and enjoyable highlights of our trip was our lunch visit to Cantina Del Vesuvio. The service was excellent; the wine and food phenomenal, the view of the Volcano (Vesuvio) unforgettable. This vineyard is the best and it's evident they love what they do and their wine. We sampled at least 6 types during a wine tasting lunch and I purchased two cases of Lacryma Christi which they shipped to the US for me. Grazie mille ai Principali di questo bellisimo locale. Il vino e' superbo! read more

We have lived in Italy for 3 years and have had many fabulous lunch and wine tasting experiences at various vineyards. Today was a gorgeous day, so we wanted to do something special for lunch, so we popped into Cantina del Vesuvio where we had never dined before. Unbeknownst to me, they told us that a reservation or call ahead is required, so at first we were happy because they acted as if they were accommodating us without the required reservation. But it was all downhill from there. We asked to sit on the patio where about 20 empty tables were (and remained the entire time we were there), but they said they were for reservations, so they sat us (packed us) in a small area indoors that was packed with a NATO USO tour. They assumed, and told us so even, that because we were American that we wanted to be with all the other Americans, and it was truly not at all what we wanted but we were willing to make the most of it. We were sat at the only empty 4 top table, as a family of 5, during the middle of the tours meal, but thought nothing of it (even though they were quick to pick up our dishes as quickly as we took our last bites) until 45 minutes later when the tour got up, they were suddenly cleaning all around us and then rushed us out of there as well. For 25 euro per adult we got to sample 4 flavors of wine, the most basic antipasti, simple spaghetti pomodoro (spaghetti with tomato sauce - and no parmesan available), and a small slice of their version of cheesecake which was more of a bread pudding (kids hated it). The kids menu was the same thing except with water for 15 euro each. None of the usual bells and whistles of Italian dining which I've come to love. As I was still trying to finish my wine with nowhere to sit, I decided to shop their wines and then cash out. The owner asked how we liked it, so I told him, very politely, the food and wine was good but that I felt rushed. All he said was, well you didn't have a reservation. That's it. Then as I was cashing out, even buying some of their wine, the owner got suddenly very rude and told me to get my kids. Not sure why since my kids were sitting quietly next to a wall in the parking lot playing in the dirt. ??? Through the whole process we were pleasant anyway, in hopes to make it enjoyable anyway for the 80 euro we were spending for lunch, but the whole experience was uncomfortable and unpleasant. We had planned to walk about the vineyard and winery and take pictures on this gorgeous day, and hoped to get a little history of the vineyard and wine making like most Italian Cantina's and Vineyard's will do, but nothing like that was offered nor did I feel like sticking around after that. I just wish we would have been turned away all together rather than have an overpriced, terrible experience like that. :o( Totally bummed. read more
