Wine Trekking & Vineyard Tour
Wine Trekking in Vesuvius National Park: Vineyards, Views & Km0 Flavors
A guided walk through ancient vines where volcanic soil meets centuries of winemaking tradition
This wine trekking experience in Vesuvius National Park combines a moderate 3.8km guided route through working vineyards with an authentic tasting of local produce grown entirely within the territory. The trail unfolds against a backdrop of the Gulf of Naples and the Gulf of Sorrento, with the volcanic cone of Vesuvius commanding the skyline at every turn.
The fertile slopes of Vesuvius have supported viticulture for thousands of years, and this route follows paths that wind between rows of traditional vines managed according to local farming practices. A guide accompanies the group throughout, sharing the geological and agricultural history of a landscape shaped by eruptions and renewal.
Participants choose between a morning or evening departure depending on the day of the week, and then select their preferred food pairing: aperitif, lunch, or dinner. All food and drink served is sourced exclusively from Km0 production, meaning every ingredient originates within the immediate territory.

This tour takes place inside Vesuvius National Park, located on the eastern edge of the Naples metropolitan area in the Campania region of southern Italy. The park encompasses the slopes of Mount Vesuvius, one of the most historically significant and geologically active volcanoes in Europe. The surrounding territory, known for its extremely fertile volcanic soil, has been a centre of wine and agricultural production since antiquity. The area sits between the Gulf of Naples to the west and the Gulf of Sorrento to the south, providing dramatic coastal panoramas from elevated points on the trail. Towns such as Ercolano, Torre del Greco, and Boscoreale border the park and form part of the broader Vesuvian wine appellation zone. The combination of protected natural landscape, centuries-old farming heritage, and proximity to Naples makes this one of the most distinctive agri-tourism settings in Italy.
