Vineyards · ETNA AND VESUVIUS WINE TOURS
Volcanic soil, old ungrafted vines and a crater in the background. These 14 pair the tasting with the mountain, and they are clear about the altitude, the walking and what happens when the volcano is having a moment.
Review of a private Etna tour from Taormina with crater walks, honey tasting, winery lunch, four Sicilian wines, and hotel pickup.
“Wonderful hike up Mt Etna. Then the small family winery had delicious wines in a very quaint setting.”
Taste organic Lacryma Christi wines, local food, and olive oil at a family winery with views of Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples.
“The people who organized the tasting and wine food pairing were excellent! They were well organized and provided good insight on how the wines paired with the food.”
Walk Etna vineyards at sunset, tour a historic palmento, and enjoy four Sicilian wines with chef-made pairings.
“Rather small groups, we were 10 people all together, we got lot of information on the history of the vineyard and a walk through the site which was not very big, so easy accessible.”
Walk Etna Urban Winery’s city vineyards, explore a 1790 palmento, and enjoy four Etna wines with Sicilian dishes at sunset.

“Very interesting tour! Lovely wine and great food! We all loved it!”
Review of the Vesuvius and Vineyard tour from Sorrento, with crater views, Lacryma Christi wine, lunch, transport, costs, and practical tips.
“Given the traffic congestion in the area, the tour should have at least 1.5 hours earlier. The guide was pleasant but not very informative. The connection with the park rangers was non existent as many of us had no idea where they were located and simply continued on to the crater. Since we started late we did not arrive at the winery until 2:30 and did not eat until 3 or later. The food was mediocre. Please send me a refund for this tour.”
Taste five Vesuvian wines, including Lacryma Christi, with a local lunch and vineyard tour inside Vesuvius National Park.
“Mi è piaciuto molto l’accoglienza e subito dopo il tour tra i vigneti e la cantina, tutto buonissimo con i vini e il cibo; il pranzo è stato un po’ troppo “veloce” con i ragazzi che non aspettavano nemmeno un po’ tra gli antipasti e il primo piatto, come anche il dolce servito subito dopo le due portate.”
Explore Pompeii, climb Vesuvius, and taste Campanian wine on this private Naples day tour, with pickup, flexible pacing, and practical tips.
“What a fun day. We started our day by meeting our guide and driver, Massimo, just outside the cruise terminal in Naples. It was a little chaotic finding him, as it was a bit of a hike to get outside the terminal, and then very crowded once we got outside the gates, as there were hundreds of drivers there to meet their assigned tours for the day. Once we got going, it was a brief 45 minute driver to Mt. Vesuvius. Massimo got us up as high as we could go, but then we had to hike about one kilometer to the rim of the volcano. We spent a few…”
Review of a private Mount Etna tour from Syracuse with crater views, honey tasting, cable car option, winery lunch, and Etna wines.
“Corrado was very knowledgeable about the history of Mount Etna. We saw the various craters but chose not to do the extended tour to the higher elevation. We felt we had plenty of opportunity to get the flavor of the experience without it. Also had an amazing lunch at a winery and stopped at a place where they made honey. A very eventful day!”
Pair Mount Vesuvius crater views with a local winery, wine tasting, and private Naples transfers on this practical six-hour tour.
“We booked the day before and got a call to ask if we had tickets to Mount Vesuvius. They are not included in the tour. I said I didn’t and then got a message to say they had some for us. However, on the morning of the tour we were told there were no tickets. There is really no reason to go up the mountain if you don’t have a ticket to the top so that was quite disappointing. The wine tour was fantastic. Food was great and the tour of the winery on golf cart was an excellent experience. Our guide Katia was really nice and had a special…”
Review the Mount Vesuvius tour from Naples, with transport, volcano access, vineyard lunch, wine tasting, costs, timing, and practical tips.
“Not exactly a wine tasting, more an expensive transfer to mount Vesuvius with a lunch that includes a little bit of wine and not including entry ticket to the volcano. The team were lovely and friendly but the experience is massively oversold!”
Review of a private Mount Etna hike, four-wine tasting, Sicilian lunch, and historic winery visit from Taormina.

Review of a private Pompeii, Vesuvius, and winery day trip from Naples, with archaeological guide, wine tasting lunch, and transport.
“This was an excellent excursion! It was well organized by Giuseppe and our driver, Paolo, was so knowledgeable and friendly. As well, our tour guide, Gianluca, at the ruins was just great! He was so knowledgeable and such a nice person. I can’t say enough good things about this tour. I highly recommend it. It was simply excellent in all aspects!”
Taste four Etna wines, Sicilian street food, historic winery treasures, and an urban vineyard walk near Catania.
“5 out of 5. Beautiful vineyard in the middle of the city! Urban is fitting. The structures and grounds were well maintained and the staff was kind and knowledgeable. Vigna Grande 2022 was by far the best wine we tasted. The food was thoughtful and tasty. Recommend you visit if you are in the Catania area, only 30 mins away.”
