Cantina del Vesuvio is a winery specialized in Lacryma Christi, a wine produced exclusively on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius and almost unknown outside of the region of Campania, despite its long history. This wine was made and beloved by ancient Romans, and vineyards have covered these mountain slopes since the 5th century BC. The winery has kept this ancient tradition alive by growing heirloom Caprettone and Piedirosso grapes to make their limited number of bottles of organic wine, sold only through the winery.
Cantina del Vesuvio offers guided tastings and cooking classes, a unique way to discover the history and culture of the Vesuvius National Park while enjoying the quiet of the countryside and extraordinary views over the Bay of Naples.
"Was amazing in every way. The tour, the wine, the food, the setting—incredible. I just hope to go back someday!"
"Delicious food and wine with an amazing view on the sea and the Vesuvio. This is a must when you are in the region!"
"The first time was wonderful, so I brought my friends. The second time, though, the owner was very rude. As we were paying, he was rushing us to get out of the way and telling us to be quiet. Not good"
Cantina del Vesuvio is located at Trecase, halfway between Pompeii and the Mount Vesuvius National Park.
The winery is easy to reach by car.
For those travelling by public transportation, there is a free shuttle service to and from Pompeii Ruins. The meeting point is the Pompei Porta Marina NCC Point (where private car services park) before the highway on ramp. Call us and we'll come pick you up in just a few minutes.
