Pompeii,Herculaneum, Vesuvius Wine Tasting and Lunch from Salerno

Pompeii is the most stunning archaeological site on the Italian Peninsula and one of the most visited. The ruins of Pompeii are an open air museum where visitors can go back in time and discover a city that had been buried in ashes until 1748. Herculaneum, the smaller sister of Pompeii, is a destination for lovers of beauty. Visitors to the ancient city have the rare opportunity to see perfectly intact patrician villas. A miracle of preservation where even the wood and ropes of the 2000-year-old city are on display, along with stunning brick work, mosaics, and frescos. Retreat into the vineyard which produces the celebrated vintage Lacryma Christi, literally “Tear of Christ”, and boasts a terrific view of Mount Vesuvius. Enjoy a leisurely lunch and wine tasting and soon you too will gaze at Vesuvio, the sacred mountain of wine, as the ancient inhabitants of Pompeii and Herculaneum once did.
