Overview

A tour of Pompeii Herculaneum and a visit to the winery can be interesting combining History, archaeology and wine culture. Pompeii excavations:

You will be able to explore the remains of the temple buildings, houses, and streets admiring the details that tell the daily life of the ancient Romans. Herculaneum:

Another archaeological site that although less known is equally fascinating.

Herculaneum was buried by the eruption of Vesuvius but unlike Pompeii it was covered mainly by ash and lapilli, it was buried by a very hot and fast pyroclastic flow, which preserved the buildings in an incredible way with details such as furniture and frescoes intact. During this tour if you prefer at your own choice you can also visit some winery.

You will discover how the vineyards are cultivated, taste local wines accompanied by typical products of the Campania cuisine.
