Great tour, mediocre driver and confusing experience. Three stars due to to very frustrating driver Winery and lunch outstanding. Driver was waiting with sign. Unsure if language barrier, but not interactive and struggle to answer questions. I purchased tickets that included entry to Mt Ves. The driver left and unbeknownst to us the tickets did not show entry. We had to purchase there which was a pain. Waiting to hear about refund. The walk was great and a unique experience with unreal views for days. Wear good shows and sunscreen. The lunch and winery were off the chain. Beautiful place with nice, up-close tour and a ton of great food and wine. We were with a cruise and we had plenty of time to get back to port (Naples) and walk around.
Lovely location. Great food. Great wine and friendly staff. The tour could have been a little longer and more insight into the wine making process but the staff were happy for us to walk around and ask as many questions as we liked.
We were so excited for this wine tour but were disappointed. As a party of 8, it was not worth the money. The driver that came for us had no idea where he was taking us, spent over 2 hours of the "3 1/2 hour' time driving to and fro. Did not try any olive oils, and frankly the wine tastings were rushed, with very little explanation of what we were tasting. My glass wasn't even empty and they were pouring something else in. We spent maybe 10 minutes in the winery itself and this time of year nothing was actually in production. We reached out to the tour vendor and they insisted we were offered a tour of Naples to compensate for not touring Mt Vesuvius but that was not the case. I've never done this before, and travel often, but would not recommend.
The vineyard wine tasting and lunch were incredible. Will definitely do again. There was a confusion with the actual tour itself. We were brought to do a climb of Mt. Vesuvius which I did not want to do and the description of what to expect did not include it. Our driver, Ettore, was very accommodating and assisted us with getting to the vineyard. Viator did make it right by refunding a portion of the tour fee.
We had the most wonderful time at Mount Vesuvio Cantina. The vineyards were gorgeous and the food was delicious with perfectly paired wines from the cellar. We were very excited to learn about the ease with which we could have wine shipped to our home for a very decent price!
We had the pleasure of wine tasting at the Mount Vesuvius Winery in January 2020. First we were greeted at the steps of the winery and taken for a walk through the vineyard, under the watchful gaze of Mt Vesuvius. Next we were shown the process of making the wine. Then we had the most beautiful lunch matched with the stunning organic wines. We ate, drank and relaxed while gazing over the vines with views of the harbour. We highly recommend this tour. Our hosts were so attentive, it was very relaxing and the wines ranged from full bodied reds to fruity whites. A bonus was the olive oil and vinegar which we purchased as a reminder of our day(along with 2 bottles of wine). It was a highlight of our day in Naples.
