Tour of Fuocomuorto Winery
Tour Details
At the designated time, we'll meet at the entrance to the Fuocomuorto Winery, a family business located a few minutes away from the archaeological site of Herculaneum. Its vineyards are in the middle of the Vesuvius National Park, between the volcano's slopes and the Mediterranean Sea.
We'll begin the visit with a tour of the winery's terraced vineyards, from where you'll enjoy magnificent views of the Gulf of Naples. While we admire these beautiful landscapes, you'll learn all about the different grape varieties used and the features of the volcanic soil in the region.
Afterwards, we'll explore a natural cave in the winery. In this underground cave, created by volcanic lava after the 1780 eruption, we'll speak about the ageing of wines. We'll also learn about the wine-making family's history and see some of the objects historically used for grape pressing and other agricultural activities.
The final part of the tour will consist of a tasting of 3 wines: a Vesuvio Lacryma Christi red and white, plus an extra dry sparkling rosé. As a food pairing, we'll enjoy a tasting of local products that include different delicacies, such as a charcuterie and cheese board, homemade preserves, and Neapolitan sweets.
After this tasting, the tour will come to an end after a total of 2 hours.
