This day-long excursion offers an opportunity to explore the historical significance and culinary delights of the region. The trip includes a visit to a volcano that, while currently inactive, has been dormant since World War II. Famous for engulfing the Roman city of Herculaneum and preserving it for over a thousand years, you can wander through its streets, houses, and perfectly restored sculptures. The latter half of the tour acquaints you with local wine-making traditions. At the winery, you’ll embark on a tour of the vineyards on an electric golf cart guided by a staff member, who will provide insights on the wine-making process. Afterwards, you are invited to sample the wines and, if desired, enjoy a meal featuring local cuisine and products.
