Cantina del Vesuvio is a winery specialized in Lacryma Christi, a wine produced exclusively on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius and almost unknown outside of the region of Campania, despite its long history. This wine was made and beloved by ancient Romans, and vineyards have covered these mountain slopes since the 5th century BC. The winery has kept this ancient tradition alive by growing heirloom Caprettone and Piedirosso grapes to make their limited number of bottles of organic wine, sold only through the winery.

Cantina del Vesuvio offers guided tastings and cooking classes, a unique way to discover the history and culture of the Vesuvius National Park while enjoying the quiet of the countryside and extraordinary views over the Bay of Naples.

Guest reviews

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - an exceptional day for our family of 7!

Aug 30, 2025

What a beautiful end to our week in Italy! For our travel day back to London, flying out of Naples, we decided to spend the day in Pompeii. After an amazing and informative tour of the Scavi di Pompeii with Lucia Pompeii Guide Tours, our host Lorenzo with Sorrento Silverstar arranged for us to have a wonderful winery tour, lunch and wine tasting at the Russo Family’s beautiful Cantina del Vesuvio. We were warmly welcomed by Carmine, whose effervescent and joyous personality set the tone for an incredible experience, right on the Southern slope of Mt. Vesuvius. We could not decide what we enjoyed more . . . the delicious food, the informative tour, the gorgeous view and breeze from the terrazza, the PERFECT wine pairings, or the kind hospitality of our gracious hosts. If you have the opportunity to visit Pompeii, please treat yourself to a lunch and tour of Cantina del Vesuvio . . . and remember to give Carmine a big hug from us!

Phenomenal experience: Cooking Class with Ester

Aug 20, 2025

Can't recommend the cooking class with Ester highly enough. It was such an incredible experience getting to tour the winery, getting to taste all of these phenomenal wines, and getting to spend time with Ester making some incredible Italian dishes right there with her in her gorgeous kitchen. The views are so incredible at the base of Mt. Vesuvius and we learned so very much. This is a perfect experience for couples wanting to connect and experience the best Italy has to offer. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed!

Alfonso made our trip special

Jul 25, 2025

We went on a wine tasting tour at Catina Del Vesuvio, and Alfonso drove us from Sorrento to Mt. Vesuvius. He was incredible! From great recommendations to singing for us in the car, he truly gave it 100% to make sure our trip was exactly what we wanted. He even taught us about the history of what makes the food in the region so amazing (and where to get these fresh fruits/veggies for cheap)! I cannot say enough about how special our day was thanks to Alfonso.
