Additional Information

Delight in a one-stop experience of history, viticulture, and the great outdoors! Your journey begins at the historic ruins of Pompeii. Here, an expert in archaeology will guide you (2 hours duration) through the echoes of this long-gone city, recreating a vibrant image of life during one of history’s most significant empires: The Roman Empire. Stuck in the past since AD 79, Pompeii enables us to take a step back in time and tangibly connect with history, almost 2,000 years prior.

Upon concluding the guided walk-through, get ready to awaken the Italian within you and set off on your Vesuvian vineyard tour, with a dedicated chauffeur accompanying you for the rest of the day. The vineyards on the itinerary are all located within the Vesuvius National Park, renowned for its fertile volcanic soil that gives rise to indigenous grape varieties. The outcome is the celebrated Lacryma Christi (Tears of Christ), a wine said to be most akin to the variety savored by the ancient Romans.

Full day, would recommend - We had an awesome day, we walked to the train station in Sorento from the cruise port, took the train to Pompeii. We met with Sonya who guided us through the ruins, beating the crowds while explaining everything throughly. After 2 hours we were transported to our 1st winery, Bosco De Medici, where we were provided a tour of their winery and grounds. Then off to wine tasting and a bite to eat. The wines were outstanding, we tasted 5 wines and limoncello. Our group liked all that we tasted and and had a good meal. We purchased wine and our purchase was shipped to our house. Then off to our 2nd winery, Tenuta Sorrentino, for our next tasting. The views were outstanding, the atmosphere was relaxed. The wines were good, but not as good as the 1st winery. They used the same glasses for the wines without rinsing them out. If we did the tour again we would have went to the ruins and 1 winery, however the views of the second winery made it worth the trip. We were then driven back to the cruise port in Serento.

Don't Skip the Wine! - Unfortunately, we missed the tour of Pompeii as we were running late. But the wine tours were amazing! Lorenzo our driver was so kind and knowledgeable. We had such a great time with him. He was a local so gave great tips for the area. Would miss the Pompeii tour again just for him.

Pompei and 2 Winery Tour - Our tour guide was very experience and provided a great Pompei tour. She knew how to best navigate the city to hit best locations while avoiding the many crowd. Very interesting! Wine tour was great as well. Our guide for that portion was Lorenzo and he gave us lots of great local history and perspective while we enjoyed the lovely fruits of the vine.

History and local wine - “Our day started with a personal tour of Pompeii highlights - perfect amount of time to be able to ask questions and go at your pace. Followed by 2 wineries, each with extensive tastings and hearty appetizers ( plus pasta lunch served at first location). Definitely recommend this value for the money!”

Great experience! - Our tour guide, Mena was amazing. It was so cool to see Pompeii in person and learn so much about it that I didn't know. The wineries were also a very nice end to a long, hot day. We were a little nervous at the last winery because our driver was late and we couldn't get a hold of him, but he made it up by making an extra stop at the train station for us to catch our ride back.

Highlight of Our Honeymoon - We went to the Amalfi coast for our honeymoon, and our excursion with Taste the Experience was one of the highlights of our whole trip. Our Pompeii tour guide was so knowledgeable, and the two wineries were such a treat after walking around the ruins. Giuseppe and his team were so accommodating, and we really enjoyed getting to talk with them throughout the experience. There is a lot offered with the tour, making it well worth the price. I would absolutely book a tour with them again! I would also highly recommend booking directly with them via their website instead of going through TripAdvisor or Get Your Guide, as it will save you a little extra money.
