Vesuvius Organic Wine Tasting and Lunch, Transfer from Sorrento
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
Arriving in Sorrento by boat? This edition of the Cantina del Vesuvio day collects you straight from the Port of Sorrento, adds hotel pickups for good measure, and delivers the full Russo family experience: five-course Lacryma Christi tastings, wine vinegar and olive oil tastings, and a three-course lunch inside the Vesuvius National Park. The port pickup is the operational detail that changes everything for ferry and boat arrivals: step off at Marina Piccola and your English-speaking driver is waiting, no taxi negotiations, no uphill haul into town, the day simply begins. Hotel pick-up and drop-off are equally covered for land-based guests. The destination remains Campania's most storied family winery: three generations of Russos farming organic vines on the volcano's southern slope, inside the National Park, with the sea close enough to temper every vintage and a production so limited it sells exclusively at the estate. This transfer edition carries the full tasting suite: a guided tour of the Russo family winery, five-course wine tastings of Lacryma Christi DOC, tastings of the estate's wine vinegar and olive oil, and the three-course lunch of Vesuvius-area specialties that turns visitors into annual returnees. The oil and vinegar are the connoisseur's detail, the same volcanic terroir expressed three ways. The day suits boat-hoppers, peninsula guests and anyone whose Sorrento logistics start at the waterline, and the timing works with the port's rhythms both directions. Reserve online via Wine Trails, instantly confirmed and booked direct with the operator, free of middleman margin. Day-boat visitors from Naples, Capri and the coast fit this edition perfectly: morning arrival, volcano lunch, evening sailing, with the winery's timing built around exactly such rhythms. However you reach the port, the vinegar and oil tastings deserve unhurried attention, they are the connoisseur's souvenirs, and the estate packs both for travel. Sorrento's port usually launches people toward Capri; the contrarian's gangway leads inland, up a volcano, to a family table with five wines and a view of the gulf you just crossed. Same sea, better bottle, and the only crowd is the vines.

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.
