You'll be served the perfect pairing on this experience – a tour of the remarkable ruins at Pompeii, plus a wine tasting session at a vineyard that grows the coveted Lacryma Christi grapes.
Mount Vesuvius wiped out Pompeii almost 2,000 years ago. But it was a catastrophe that has allowed us an invaluable window on the past, for the volcanic ash that buried the city also preserved it. Your guide will lead you through the streets of Pompeii and show you the richly decorated villas of the Roman upper classes, as well as public spaces such as the Forum and Amphitheatre.
Then, you'll discover all there is to know about a type of Neapolitan grape that's grown on the slopes of the volcano. Lacryma Christi – ‘Tears of Christ' – wines are a firm favourite for those in the know. You'll visit a vineyard and tour the winery before enjoying a light lunch washed down with its very own black label vino.
