About this experience
Departure from Sorrento or Naples and transfer to a typical Vineyard to enjoy a wine tasting & light lunch
Join our best seller tour to visit the imposing Vesuvius, a perfect mix of nature and typical food! The mountain is one of only two active volcanos in Continental Europe and stands about 1281 meters tall, with a symmetrical central cone and steep wood slopes. The whole of the Mount Vesuvius National Park is both beautiful and productive, dotted with small farms and wineries planted with heirloom varietals boasting a unique territory. Visiting the crater is a must, and tourists from across the globe climb the path each year to peer into its depths.

Vesuvius is an example of a fenced volcano consisting of an external cone, Monte Somma, with crateric belt largely demolished within which there is a smaller cone represented by Vesuvius, separated by a valley called Valle del Gigante, part of the ancient caldera, where during the eruption of 79 AD, the Great Cone was formed. Vesuvius is a polygenic and mixed volcano, consisting of lava of different chemical composition (for example trachyte, tephrites, leucitites) and formed by both lava flows and pyroclastic deposits.
