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.

Guest reviews

Alfonso made our trip special

Jul 25, 2025

We went on a wine tasting tour at Catina Del Vesuvio, and Alfonso drove us from Sorrento to Mt. Vesuvius. He was incredible! From great recommendations to singing for us in the car, he truly gave it 100% to make sure our trip was exactly what we wanted. He even taught us about the history of what makes the food in the region so amazing (and where to get these fresh fruits/veggies for cheap)! I cannot say enough about how special our day was thanks to Alfonso.

Delightful experience

Really lovely experience! Great staff, beautiful scenery, yummy food and good vibes. A great experience outside the city for a bit of sea breeze and fun

Beautiful place

Jul 20, 2025

The place is beautiful, the wines are pleasant, as is the food. The tour was quite short with relatively little information but then it was a pretty hot day so we appreciated the opportunity to sit down. The owner is a ‘character’ - lots of jokes with a humour based around gender stereotypes- be prepared to just go with the flow and take that as part of the ‘typical’ experience. It’s a family run business and family does not get to select staff based on ‘political correctness’.

Great lunch and wine pairing ... love the gallina!

great experience outside of Naples. A very hot week in Italy and touring this winery made the day so memorable. Transportation from and to our hotel provided. We had a tour of the winery and a set menu with wine pairing. Suggestion for the staff to share the pairing of the wine with the first course. There were three wines to have with the cheese, cured meats and pickled vegetables. We were told after we started digging in and the third wine with the first dish was being poured. Love the family pride with this place. Got to meet the owner, and owner's father this day. Brought back some memories - the chicken water pitcher is a highlight and conversation starter.
