Pompeii,Wine Tasting and Sorrento – Excursions from Port

During the catastrophe of 79 AD, Vesuvius buried the entire city of Pompeii. Their excavations today represent one of the main tourist destinations in the Campania region, as they return the image of a Roman city. Pompeii has been named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It has become a sizeable archaeological park where you can admire the ancient Baths, the Temple of Venus, the Temple of Apollo, a pre-Roman basilica, the civil forum, the heart of the economy, religious and social life of the ‘ancient city. And yet the Macellum, the Temple of Jupiter, the Temple of Vespasian, and the Sanctuary of the Public Lares were protectors of the city. Pompeii is also a succession of Pompeian houses, which were both simple homes and domestic and sacred places simultaneously.

Wine tour will occur around Vesuvius Volcano, where there is a breathtaking wine yard where they grow particular grapes to make a great wine known as lacrimal de Christi, which means the tears of Christ. This is thanks to the volcanic soil. You can test different types of wine as well as eat authentic Italian food.

This additional cost starts at € 38 per person or more, depending on what you choose from the menu. Includes four different wine tastings. ‎
