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.
Wonderful atmosphere , Wonderful service. Wonderful experience. Definitely i will return! I recommend this place if you enjoy good food and wine!
This was my second visit to this winery and it was fantastic both times! The food and wine are consistently delicious. The staff was so lovely. Carmine in particular was a lot of fun!
This trip to the winery was not on our original agenda but recommended by our driver who took us to Pompeii. Turned out to be another unforgettable experience! We were warmly greeted upon arrival with a glass of wine. The tour to the vineyard and brewery was fun, educational and informative, and the beautiful view of the volcano was just phenomenal! I even got to keep a small piece of volcanic rock. Less to mention the six courses of generous wine tasting and delicious pasta served. An amazing place to visit for sure!!!
This was one of the highlights of our ten day trip to Italy, I am so glad we made it. The wines were delicious but the lunch was one day forge best we had and the price was unbeatable. So peaceful and beautiful. Don’t miss it. Thank you so much to the team who made it such a wonderful experience.
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.
This was an excellent experience for our family including those starting on their wine tasting journey to find wines they enjoy. We got to see and experience grapes picked from the vines, learn about how their wine is unique, and see where it is produced. We then had lunch tasting paired with wines. We tasted 6 wines in total and red wine vinegar. All were excellent. The food was amazing. We also captured some great family photos. The staff were excellent at providing one on one experience, and sharing information about the wines, how to pair them with food. We are now part of the wine club and shipped additional bottles home. Thank you for making our family experience delightful Carmine.
What an amazing experience! Not only was the wine fantastic but so was the meal served with the premium tasting. It was an experience like we have never had in the states. My wife and I cannot recommend a stop here more highly . Any if you are fortunate you will have Carmine as your tour host!
Cooking with Ester was one of the best experiences we had in Italy. Great food, great wine, and the best people! I 110% recommend!
The lunch and wine tasting was wonderful!! We also did the cooking class. It was a private cooking class with the family of vineyard. Wonderful food and just to chance to see into Italian lice.
Giovanni, Ester and everyone here are so accommodating and friendly. My family and I have had the best time staying at the Vesuvio Wine Cottage, winery and vineyard tour, wine tasting and a private cooking class with Ester. Amazing!!!
My husband and I had a private tour (we didn’t book it private but ended up that way) of the vineyards and the cellars. We were greeted with a glass of rose wine. After learning about the wine making process, we had a delicious lunch and wine tasting on the terrace overlooking the Bay of Napoli and Vesuvius. We had a starter with meats and cheeses paired with olive oil, red wine vinegar, and wine. Then we had pasta, again paired with wine. Then we had a ricotta cake dessert paired with dessert wine. Overall we tasted 7 wines. This was a lovely detour on our way to the Naples train station. I would highly recommend!
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!
Welcome to Cantina del Vesuvio! Experience our unique wines, born in the shadow of the volcano.
More goes into our Lacryma Christi wines than just grapes. Tour our 6 hectares of vineyard, planted in the volcanic soil on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius. Meet Maurizio Russo, the youngest of this historic family of vintners. See how our family has worked these hills every day since 1948 to create a winery that combines the rigors of organic production with the warmth of Italian hospitality. We only produce a limited number of bottles a year, all of which are sold directly from our own wine shop.
