Itinerary
The territory of the National Park of Mt Vesuvius is a concentration of natural riches, history of volcanology, breathtaking landscapes, centuries-old crops and traditions that make the Vesuvius area one of the most fascinating and visited places in the world. The Vesuvius National Park was officially created on 5 June 1995 to preserve animal and plant species, plant and forest associations, geological singularities, paleontological formations, biological communities, biotopes, scenic and panoramic values, Natural processes, hydraulic and hydrogeological balances and ecological balances of the Vesuvian territory.
Vesuvius is an example of a fenced volcano consisting of an external cone, Monte Somma, with crateric belt largely demolished within which there is a smaller cone represented by Vesuvius, separated by a valley called Valle del Gigante, part of the ancient caldera, where during the eruption of 79 AD, the Great Cone was formed. Vesuvius is a polygenic and mixed volcano, consisting of lava of different chemical composition (for example trachyte, tephrites, leucitites) and formed by both lava flows and pyroclastic deposits.
Sorrentino Vini was founded in 1990 by the passion of Paolo Sorrentino. The farm is currently the largest of Vesuvius as it has 35 hectares of property, all located within the National Park of Vesuvius. The most famous wine produced on Vesuvius is the Lacryma Christi. It’s the only DOC (Controlled Designation of Origin) produced on Vesuvius.

Our group of 13 were so well looked after, full on wine tasting with delicious local food, full commentary in the van and an unexpected stopoff on the way back for limoncello.

Nice lunch, great starter and dessert with good portions of wine for tasting! Vesuvius climb was energetic but paced out so can be done…..even after the wine! Great views and what an experience to tell friends and family about! On drive back stopped off for limoncello tasting which was very different and unique, won’t spoil the surprise though, you’ll have to go on the tour to find out..! Well worth it though.

Everything was perfect. The lady led the group beautifully to Vezuvio. Very nice driving. The driver did a great job. Italy have such winding streets, but he drove bus safely and perfectly. And the most important thing is that the volcano behaved and didn't erupt ;) Very nice trip and everything was beautifully organized. P.S. I almost forgot - the restaurant at the bottom of the volcano and the regional wine was fantastic :)

Guide and driver fantastic Mount Vesuvius and little shop with lemon tasting and chocolate Amazing food and wine tasting at winery was not great and was very dragged out would have rather spent more time at the little shop and on Mount Vesuvius
Dear Kevin_N Thank you so much for your review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the guide, the driver, Mount Vesuvius, and the charming little shop with lemon and chocolate tasting — those are certainly highlights we're proud of. We're sorry to hear that the wine tasting experience didn’t fully meet your expectations. Your feedback is valuable and will help us improve the experience for future guests. Best Regards Rosa Savarese Reservations Dept & Customer Care
The lunch at the winery is very relaxed and plenty of time to wander the vineyard. The tour bus takes you nearly to the top of the volcano. There is a little rest area with souvenir shops, cafe, toilets and great views. This is a perfect place to enjoy if the final walk up top is too difficult for you. Half our group stayed here and half continued up to the top. The walk is very challenging as it is steep and the ash path is sloppy underfoot. But it’s manageable if you take your time and have little rest.

The trip to Vesuvius was fantastic with our effervescent guide Paula, with an excellent light lunch and wine tasting at a volcanic vineyard and a surprise visit somewhere on the way down from the volcano. The updates via WhatsApp are also very helpful. Would highly recommend

After being picked up at 11am from our hotel in Sorrento town we eventually arrived at the vineyard restaurant for the light lunch at 12.30. The restaurant had packed as many tables in, no room between tables. Starters arrived slices of salami and a square of bread in the middle of the plate, cold pasta with tomato sauce, and for dessert a slice a very dry cake. We were served 3 small glasses of wine and water. Eventually we left the restaurant after 2 1/2 hours then back on the coach for another 45 mins drive to Vesuvius. We were allowed 90mins before we had to be back on the coach, it takes at least 30 mins to reach the top!!! And another 15minutes if you wanted to walk around the creator. Back on the coach to our hotel. AN EIGHT HOUR DAY FOR ONLY 90 MINUTES TO CLIMB VESUVIUS . My suggestion would be if you wanted to visit Vesuvius catch the train from Sorrento to Pompeii. When you come out of Pompeii station a bus will take you up the mountain to Vesuvius . Train from Sorrento coach and entrance to Vesuvius approx 50e. The cost of the coach trip 99e.
Dear potash2015, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re sorry to hear that the excursion didn’t fully meet your expectations. We’d like to clarify that the itinerary is clearly detailed in advance, and some amount of travel time is necessary to reach the different locations. This can vary depending on traffic conditions, which unfortunately are beyond our control. As for the restaurant, the starter typically includes a selection of cold cuts and vegetables served with bread. We will follow up with both the guide and the restaurant owner to understand why the pasta may have been served cold, in case this is confirmed. We also discourage the use of public transport for such excursions, as it is often overcrowded, subject to delays, and makes it difficult to organize the day as smoothly and comfortably as a private service can. We always aim to provide a pleasant and well-balanced day trip, and your feedback will help us continue to improve. Best Regards Rosa Savarese Reservations Dept & Customer Care
We really enjoyed everything about the excursion. From the pick-up point to drop off! The food and wine were lovely, and the stop for lemoncello tasting really good too. The driver was very skilled which made us feel safe on the winding roads and he was one of the nicest, jovial/happiest drivers we've met during our time in Sorrento. Our tour guide to the restaurant was great and our change of guide from the restaurant to Vesuvius and back to Sorrento even better. We definitely recommend Buyourtour as great value for money and the excursion not to be missed. Thank you very much 😊

The trip was great and very informative. The town was not very difficult to walk and the guide reminded me us of the tough parts. The lunch was pleasant and the view gorgeous.Mt Vesuvius was unbelievable.we walked the crater.still seems a little hard to believe an eruption did so much damage.
Dear Cynthia, Thank you for your feedback and for your 5 stars review! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed our tour. Best regards Fabiana Reservations Dept & Customer Care
