Join us for an unforgettable night on Mount Vesuvius! Starting with a roundtrip transfer from Pompei (our meeting point is a few minutes away from the ruins area!) you'll head to a local winery on the slopes of the volcano, offering incredible views of the Gulf of Sorrento and Capri.
Kick off the adventure with a guided horseback ride through the vineyards, exploring the terrain of Mount Vesuvius under the stars. Feel the thrill of riding beneath this iconic volcano while learning about the area from our local guides.
After the ride, relax at the winery and enjoy a BBQ featuring fresh local meats, vegetables, and wines produced right on the slopes of our volcano! Dine with stunning views of Vesuvius and the coastline, soaking up the true flavors of southern Italy.
Please note: The horseback ride is at a slow pace, it's meant to spend time with animals and admire the views, it's not suitable for those who would like to galop/ride fast
