Organic "Classico" Wine Tasting with Lunch on Vesuvius

We chose the classic tasting "Lacryma Christi" at the Vesuvius Winery. Arrived on the spot (beautiful), welcomed us with a welcome sparkling wine and overwhelming sympathy, our guide Carmine , who made the guided tour very pleasant and professional at the winery and its vineyards. Then we sat down at the table and began our tasting. Genuine and delicious products accompanied by the four Lacryma Christi glasses, as expected. Very professional and polite staff, overall beautiful experience that I highly recommend to do. Sabrina and Francesco

Visiting Cantine del Vesuvio is much more than a simple tasting: it is a total immersion in a corner of paradise, set in the heart of the protected area of the Vesuvius Park. From the first moment, Maurizio – an exceptional person for passion, hospitality and authenticity – makes you feel not a customer, but a special guest, as if you were at the home of a long-time friend. All products are absolutely natural, the result of meticulous and respectful work on the earth. Each bottle tells a story, each sip of wine reflects the love and care with which the grapes are grown, harvested and transformed. It is very rare to find such a high quality, accompanied by such sincerity and dedication. The tasting area is simply spectacular: sitting among the rows, with Vesuvius behind and the Gulf of Naples before your eyes, you can taste extraordinary wines combined with exquisite, typical dishes prepared with local ingredients. It is an experience that involves all the senses, in a perfect balance between nature, flavors and beauty.

Owner/ chef Ester gave us a special tour and allowed us to make a four course lunch in her home at the winery. We were in awe and loved making gnocchi and eggplant Parmesan. The wine and hospitality were great. We bought 5 cookbooks and I would go back in a second to try more food there.

We had a fabulous time here on the last day of our honeymoon! A very special and private tour filled with fine wine & great staff. We shipped bottles of everything we tasted back to the U.S. ! So good, support this locally owned business if you’re in the area!!
