Vesuvius Organic Wine Tasting and Lunch from the Amalfi Coast
Why travelers loved this
4.7 · 3 reviewsOwner/ chef Ester gave us a special tour and allowed us to make a four course lunch in her home at the winery. We were in awe and loved making gnocchi and eggplant Parmesan. The wine and hospitality were great. We bought 5 cookbooks and I would go back in a second to try more food there.
We had a fabulous time here on the last day of our honeymoon! A very special and private tour filled with fine wine & great staff. We shipped bottles of everything we tasted back to the U.S. ! So good, support this locally owned business if you’re in the area!!
About This Experience
Hotel-to-hotel from the Amalfi Coast to a volcano's vineyard: this edition of the Cantina del Vesuvio experience collects you at your coast accommodation, crosses to the National Park of Vesuvius, and seats you for the Russo family's five-wine organic tasting and three-course mountain lunch. For coast-based travellers, the hotel pickup is the version to want. Positano's stairs, Amalfi's alleys, Ravello's heights: wherever your keys are, the English-speaking driver arrives, and the day requires nothing from you but appetite. No ports, no ferry timetables, just private transportation from door to vineyard and back. What waits on the mountain justifies the crossing. The Russo family's winery sits inside the Vesuvius National Park on the sun-favoured southern slope, where organic viticulture in volcanic soil produces Lacryma Christi DOC that critics adore and collectors cannot buy: the limited production sells only at the winery itself. The guided tour explains the improbable farming, vines thriving in the wreckage of eruptions, and then the table takes over. Five tastings of Vesuvio Lacryma Christi DOC anchor a three-course lunch of local specialties, unhurried in the way volcano time seems to encourage. The Gulf of Naples performs below; Capri marks the horizon; the coast you left feels agreeably far away. The return delivers you to your hotel with the evening free, and the day slots into any Amalfi itinerary as its inland counterweight, one afternoon of agriculture between the beach clubs and boat days. Booking runs online through Wine Trails with instant confirmation, direct with the operator, nothing added in the middle. The crossing itself earns a mention: leaving the coast road for the volcano's flank swaps one spectacular geography for another, and travellers who assumed the Amalfi drive was the day's scenery ceiling routinely revise the ranking by lunch. Carry light layers, the mountain breathes cooler than the beaches, even in August. The Amalfi Coast does glamour better than anywhere on earth; Vesuvius does gravitas. A day that trades one for the other, and comes home with wine no shop will ever stock, improves both.

We came in 2017 & Returned in 2025
We came in 2017 with our entire family of 7. Today, we visited as a couple. So, the new “wine club” is perfetto. Beautiful views from the ocean and Mount Vesuvius. The wine and pairing is exceptional, come hungry, there’s plenty of food. The wine vinegar is exceptional. We bought 2 bottles. Great deals shipping wine back to the USA.
