Organic "Superiore" Wine Tasting with Lunch on Vesuvius

On our way back from touring Pompeii our driver recommended stopping at Cantina del Vesuvius and it was an excellent suggestion. After a tour of the vineyards and processing center we had a tasting of 5 wines with an extensive food pairing. They also have their own olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Does it get more Italian than drinking wine, eating pasta at the base of Mount Vesuvius! The wines were very good and bought 2 bottles to take home, along with the oil.

This was a wonderful find. I was searching about Lachryma Christi and found this winery. Their wine tasting and lunch deal was much cheaper than any other winery tour. The site is beautiful below Vesuvius. The 6 superior tasting was well worth the extra 10€.The three course meal was superb and the tasting notes given verbally with each course was helpful. If you like food and wine this is not to be missed

Great experience our guide; Carmine was excellent. + You felt very Welcomed. + wine 5/5 + You were also able to shop at the end and send the wine home with free shipping(over 90euro in Europe) + we got to taste some extra wine at the end while we were waiting for the taxi. + you can call them and they will come get you for the tasting and they will also drive you to the train station afterwards! - the wine proportions were slim during the tasting which would have been fine if they actually described the wine more than just saying a little bit and the alcohol percentage. So it was more as a good wine and food experience rather than a tasting.

The lunch was plentiful and we enjoyed learning about their wines. We ordered a few wines from here since we enjoyed it so much. I would definitely recommend visiting in summer since everything was inside due to the weather being cold.

We went as group of 4 and we immediately were impressed by the property and the fantastic view. We had a tour of the wine yard with the knowledgeable guide, we talked about organic wine productions and their way of making it. the best part started when we sat at the table one by one great glasses of wine were coming to us, explained by the staff. the food was even better a nice choice of local recipes to pair with the wines. I would recommend this experience to all especially if you are on the route to the nearby attraction of Pompei or Ercolano. Great job guys!
