What the day looks like
You visit the excavations of Pompeii with a guide, then drive up to a family winery on the slopes of Vesuvius for a tasting of Lacryma Christi red and white wines, usually with a Neapolitan lunch of bread, cheese, salami and pasta. The volcanic soil gives the wines their mineral taste, and the views reach across the Bay of Naples.
How to choose
Staying in Rome? The high-speed train day trip is the most booked and gets you there and back in a day. From Naples, the six-hour tour with lunch is the easy choice. Already in Pompeii or the Amalfi Coast? Join the archaeologist-led tour with wine at the site. Seen the ruins already? Book a winery tasting with lunch on its own.
Pompeii has little shade: bring water, a hat and good shoes, and check each listing for entry tickets.
