About this experience

Vesuvius is my home, and I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. It is an extraordinary land, rich in nature, history, and traditions.

The tour begins among our vineyards, where I will share the story of my family and my ancestors, among the first farmers of Boscotrecase. Walking through the vines, you will discover our native grape varieties and the cultivation techniques we still use today.

The visit continues to our small museum on the terrace, set in the heart of the vineyards, where we have collected the ancient tools once used to work the land — a true journey back in time.

From here, you can take stunning photos while admiring unique views: Pompeii from above, the Sorrento Peninsula, and the island of Capri.

The experience concludes with a tasting of our wines, accompanied by a genuine lunch prepared by my mother, featuring the authentic flavors of local tradition.

An authentic, family-driven, and unforgettable experience at the foot of Mount Vesuvius.

Discover an authentic wine experience on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius, where volcanic soil, sea breezes, and generations of tradition shape every bottle.

Your experience begins with a guided walk through our family-owned vineyards, overlooking the Bay of Naples. Here, you’ll learn about the unique Vesuvian terroir and the indigenous grape varieties that thrive in this mineral-rich soil. We’ll share the story of our family — among the historic farming families of Boscotrecase — and explain the cultivation techniques we still use today.

The visit continues on our panoramic terrace, where breathtaking views open up over Pompeii, the Sorrento Peninsula, and the island of Capri.

The highlight of the experience is a guided tasting of our premium wines — elegant expressions of the Vesuvian landscape. Each wine is carefully presented to help you understand its structure, aromas, and volcanic character.
