Pompeii, Mount Vesuvius and Winery Visit — Full-Day Shore Excursion
Walk through Roman ruins, climb an active volcano, and taste wines grown from volcanic soil — all in a single day.
This Pompeii Vesuvius shore excursion with winery visit combines three of southern Italy's most compelling experiences into one well-paced, eight-hour journey. You will stand at the crater rim of Mount Vesuvius, explore the remarkably preserved streets of ancient Pompeii, and conclude the day with a tasting of wines produced from vineyards rooted in volcanic earth.
The tour is designed for cruise passengers with limited time ashore, yet it moves at a comfortable pace suited to a wide range of fitness levels. A knowledgeable guide accompanies the group throughout, providing historical and geological context at each stop.
The winery segment offers an authentic look at how local producers harness the mineral-rich soil of the Campania region. Guests have the option to enjoy a lunch featuring regional products alongside the wine tasting, making the final stop as satisfying as the first two.

Itinerary
Your guide meets you at the cruise terminal and the group transfers by vehicle toward the slopes of Mount Vesuvius. The drive offers early views of the volcano and the Bay of Naples.
The group walks the final trail to the crater rim, one of the most recognisable volcanic summits in the world. You will look into the crater and observe the steam vents that confirm the volcano remains active.
The tour continues to the ruins of Pompeii, preserved beneath volcanic ash since the eruption of 79 AD. Your guide leads the group through forums, villas, and public spaces, bringing the Roman city back to life.
The day concludes at a local winery where the volcanic terroir of Campania shapes the character of the wines. Guests participate in a guided tasting and may opt for a lunch of regional specialities.
After the winery visit, the group transfers back to the cruise terminal. The return timing is coordinated to ensure guests are back well before ship departure.
