Detailed itinerary

The tour is a sensorial journey through the Bosco de’ Medici estate, where history, tradition, and wine meet. More than a simple tasting, it is a real immersion into the culture of Pompeii: guests will visit the 18th-century farmhouse, walk through the experimental vineyard, explore the Necropolis of 79 AD, and discover the winemaking and refining rooms with barrels and amphorae, where we still produce wines using ancient Roman techniques.
The experience includes a typical Neapolitan lunch, a celebration of the region’s authentic flavors paired with our wines.
