Enjoy history, wine, and nature in this all-in-one experience!
You will start from the ancient ruins of Pompeii, where an archeological guide will take you on an exploration (2 hours) of this ancient city while painting a picture of what life was like during one of the most important empires of all time: The Roman Empire. The site of Pompeii is a true gem frozen in the year 79, which allows us to jump back in time and touch a piece of history as it was nearly 2,000 years ago.
After the guided tour, it will be time for the Italian in you to come alive and embark on your tour of Vesuvian wineries with a driver who will take care of you for the rest of the day. The wineries we'll be visiting are all in the National Park of Mount Vesuvius, known for its fertile volcanic soil and giving us the grapes only produced here. The result is the famous Lacryma Christi (Tears of Christ), a wine most equivalent to that of which the ancient Romans enjoyed.

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.

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.

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.

“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!”

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.

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.

Incredible day of history, culture, food and wine. My husband and I had a wonderful time exploring the vast site of Ancient Pompeii with our guide Fran. So knowledgeable, funny and passionate about the history and stories of this magical place. We also had a fantastic wine tasting with food driven by Dino & Giuseppe to Bosco Di Medici and then onto Sorrentino on Mt Vesuvius. Highly recommend..
