The Journey
Herculaneum
Step back in time at Herculaneum, a remarkably preserved Roman town offering an intimate glimpse into ancient life. Frozen in time by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, this UNESCO World Heritage Site presents a more compact and arguably better-preserved experience than Pompeii. Wander through remarkably intact houses, marvel at the vibrant frescoes, and imagine the lives of the citizens tragically caught in the volcano's embrace. Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum was buried by a pyroclastic surge, which carbonized organic materials, preserving wooden structures, roofs, and even food. This unique preservation offers an unparalleled opportunity to explore the daily life of the Roman elite and commoners alike.
Campanian Winery
Indulge your senses at a local winery nestled in the fertile volcanic hills of Campania. Experience the rich tradition of winemaking in this region, known for its unique varietals grown in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius. Enjoy a guided wine tasting, sampling the complex flavors and aromas of the local grapes. Paired with a light lunch featuring regional specialties, you'll savor the culinary delights of Campania amidst the stunning vineyard landscapes. Discover the secrets behind the production of renowned wines like Falanghina and Aglianico, and gain a deeper appreciation for the region's viticultural heritage.
