The tour was so unique and informative. Our tour guide, Al, was the absolute best and we got to see the whole vineyard and hear all about the wine making process. It was the most gorgeous vineyard I've ever been to. They treated us so well with the wine tasting at the end too. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. You get a lot of food with the tasting too! It's well worth the money. I wish I could bring everyone here. I will go out of my way to come here next time I'm in Italy. Thanks for such an awesome experience!

Wine isn't my thing, beer is. However, when in Italy, you'll hardly find anyone who shares that…read moreopinion! Due to the lack of brewery tours around Naples, we opted for this vineyard tour. Was it worth it? Yes. Has it been the best I've been on? No (Yarra Valley, Australia, still holds this title). Would I still recommend it? Of course! So, this vineyard is located on the skirts of Mount Vesuvio, an active volcano located near Napoli, Italy. The drive there is scenic enough, but the view you get once you arrive is even more amazing. The actual plantation extends for many acres, and it goes all the way to the very limit of fertile soil near the volcano's mouth. You don't get to go all the way there, but instead they drop you off at an on-site restaurant. The view is probably even better if you'd have access all the way up. The guided tour itself was very brief. Our guide's name was Maria Paola, and she demonstrated vast knowledge about winemaking. However, the tour was way more focused on a brief history of the vineyard itself than the actual process and challenges they have at making wine. All questions asked, she was quick to respond, but I would have enjoyed it even better if it was a more in-depth look at the winemaking process here. The whole guided tour took about 15 minutes. Afterwards, we were taken into the restaurant where we had a 4-course meal accompanied by 5 different wines. A bruschetta, a pomodoro pasta, a table of cheese and salami, and a cake slice with apricot jam. It was all pretty decent, but nothing was mind-blowing either. The wines were great though, specially the opening one which was a Lacryma Christi white wine. Ended up buying one of these to bring back to the hotel. As they poured each wine, a very fast explanation of the type of winr was given. This could have been more enjoyable, too, if they had taken their time to introduce them better. All said and done, if you enjoy tasting new things, and are around the area looking for a fun way to spend your day, I recommend you check this place out. There's plenty of room for the experience to be improved, but the quality of the wine and the view from up top make it worth the trip, nonetheless.

Maybe a 10-15min drive from Pompeii up on the side of Vesuvius. Great views of the bay and picture opportunities from the restaurant. We opted not to do the tour of the vineyards so I can't speak to that. We were seated by a window on the enclosed deck dining area and the view was gorgeous. If you call ahead, try and ask for a window table. They offer price fix menu options to accompany the wine and although I thought the quality was good, most things were pretty standard. My favorite by far was the grilled pork sausage, tons of flavor. I do think the cost is a bit pricy, but you're getting the wine tasting included so I totally understand. The wines were very nice, they gave us a good variety to try. Special within the region due to the soil content of the volcano. They didn't go into too much detail but they have a nice pamphlet with lots of info. They were readily able to answer any questions we had. We got a prosecco, 2 white wines, 2 red wines, and a dessert wine. You can buy bottles to take with you or order by the case to ship (you can mix and match). A very nice experience and great atmosphere, definitely worth trying.
