The Bosco de' Medici Caveau is not a tasting room — it is a private world unto itself.
Unlike standard winery visits, this experience takes place in an exclusive underground sanctuary that is never open to the public. Access is by private reservation only, meaning your group will have the entire space — and a dedicated sommelier — entirely to yourselves.
The wines you will taste are grown in one of the most extraordinary terroirs on earth: volcanic soil at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, where centuries of eruptions have created a mineral richness that cannot be replicated anywhere else.
With a maximum of 8 guests per session, intimacy is guaranteed. This is not a group tour — it is a personal, unhurried journey through volcanic wine culture, led by an expert who is there for you alone.

Sunday Meal and tasting / tour
We had a fantastic tour, tasting and meal. David did a superb job welcoming us and explaining the process. Anthony was exceptional as he explained each of the wines we tasted and ensured the food and service were the best.

Great side trip of Pompeii
We went to this winery for lunch after leaving Pompeii before taking the train to Naples. It was a great lunch and a great value, as well!

A must in Pompeii
My wife and I wanted to visit a vineyard and experience a wine tour after experiencing Pompeii.
Up steps Bosco De’Medici, a gorgeous new vineyard just outside of Pompeii.
Language expert Roberta took us on our golf buggy tour of the vineyards and answered any questions.
Then Roberta handed us to Ciro who took us on a tour of wine and food pairings. Three courses complimented with three wines was absolute heaven.
Thank you Roberta and Ciro and the Bosco Vineyard, a great experience to a wonderful trip.

The best winery!
Today was one of the most rewarding experiences in all my years of Italian travels today we started the day out with arrival before our parents and we’re ssrvef complimentary espresso. Next, once we were joined my our parents, toured the vineyard and cultivating fields of beauty. Also able to see Pompeiian ruins without the wait of touring the archeological site of Pompeii. We were then walked through the wine-making process and taste a fresh rosè and sparkling white that was out of this world.
The following experience was astounding. Our Sommelier Antonio was superb. Our waitstaff Raffaella and Ciro were amazing.

Lovely find on drive between Rome and Positano
Hidden in the back of Pompei town (literally hidden) is a gem. Super friendly team, great taster menus and wines presented by well informed staff. We kept it simple as we have 2 small (ish) boys and they were happy exploring the garden, but tours are also on offer. Defiantly worth a stop on a tour or if you are on the road. 2 x menus were just fine for us all with some kids pasta.

So accommodating, personal, and beautiful!
I called last minute to book a reservation the day of my winery visit. As a college student on a budget, this place was my saving grace. I had a full 3 course meal with dessert and 4 wines for only 30 euros, and I was also taken on a golf cart tour of the gorgeous vineyard afterward (with a perfect view of Mt. Vesuvius). I expected the tour to be with a big group, but Meg personally welcomed me and my friend by waiting at the door just for us. She then showed us where the wine was made and escorted us to our table, where a sommelier walked us through three different wines. There was no rush -- just enjoying the view, dinner, and friendly staff. I just can't get over how personalized my time here was, and if I go back to Pompeii, this will be my first stop. Thank you times a million!!!

Afternoon ruined
We came for a wine tasting with lunch. All tables outside were free but we were told that everything was reserved. Instead, we had to sit inside where it was terribly hot. The presentation of the wines was a disaster. They were served too hot, at the same time and the presentation was emotionless, even awkward. When leaving, we noticed that all tables outside were still available. Incomprehensible.

Dear Guest,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience at Bosco de' Medici Winery with the community of TripAdvisor.
I am very sorry to read your bad words about us, since I think that the service you received was impeccable and the impeccability of our service is the motivation for which we have not allowed you to sit outside, as at the end of service, at 3.30 pm all our tables outside were dirty.
Furthermore, when you showed up outside at 3.30 pm, without reservation, we told you that we had availability only in our inside room, where we have air conditioning, so defining our room terribly hot is very unjustified.
I apologize, but we would never let our guests to sit on dirty table, but we were able to guarantee the high quality service we always guarantee to all of our guests.
Also, I am surprised to read your words about the service and the presentation of the wines, since when you came at the Front Desk to pay, you told me that the service was amazing, that you enjoyed our wines, the olive oil, that the staff was very friendly and that the only complain concerned the fact that you wanted to sit outside. I explained many times the motivation, but you looked like not wanting to hear and you kept on saying that I was "neither a person".
Finally, I apologize again but I don't think that we deserve this bad review, because it has no evidence in reality.
Best Regards,
Margherita Di Somma
