10 Wine Tours & Tastings in Ercolano That You Shouldn't Miss
Ercolano [erkoˈlaːno] is a town and comune in the Metropolitan City of Naples, Campania of Southern Italy. It lies at the western foot of Mount Vesuvius, on the Bay of Naples, just southeast of the city of Naples. The medieval town of Resina - read Resìna - was built on the volcanic material left by the eruption of Vesuvius (79 CE) that destroyed the ancient city of Herculaneum, from which the present name is derived. Ercolano is a resort and the starting point for excursions to the excavations of Herculaneum and for the ascent of Vesuvius by bus. The town also manufactures leather goods, buttons, glass, and the wine known as Lacryma Christi (Tears of Christ).

We booked a tour with Antonini to herculaneom, Pompei and Mount Vesuv and were welcomed with a big smile at the airport! Antonino is an exceptionally nice and knowlegeful person and shared interesting details of this region and the various historical sites throughout our trip. He picked us up at the airport and dropped us off at our hotel on the Amalfi coast. His driving is impeccable and we were happy to not have to drive ourselves as the roads are very small and curvy. We were so happy about our excursion with Antonino and would recommend anyone to book a tour with him any day.

Our driver, Diego, took us to a mozzarella farm, limoncello factory, and an olive farm. He also took us to Zio Sam's for lunch. He was courteous and patient, stopping many times for us to take a photo. I highly recommend this company...and be sure to ask for Diego!
7. Herculaneum ruins clumbing Mt Vesuvio and Winery teast
The tour Herculaneum and Vesuvius stands out, because the close proximity between the two sites that is illogical to think that still today the people live in this area considering the history of the volcano. Herculaneum 2000 years ago was a resort town, Climbing Mount Vesuvius has absolutely no perception that, it throughout his life, might have caused death and destruction massacres of whole peoples and entire villages. The typical of mountain road, made of twists and turns, you follow it in a surreal silence and you can enjoy the show of the suggestive nature. The wine teating it s an opportunity to ear another peaces of story like the romans make wine and storage and a relax visiting the grapes filds.
Inclusions: Bottled water, Driver/guide, Live commentary on board, Hotel pickup and drop-off, Port pickup and drop-off, Private tour, Round-trip private transfer, Transport by air-conditioned minivan, Fuel surcharge, Landing and facility fees

We were told by many people that you had to buy tickets online before going to Vesuvio, so we made sure we did this. On arrival we were then told that the reference number for the tickets was not enough so we could not enter. I should have received an email with a QR code which never arrived. We refreshed my email inbox and spam many times before trying to see if we could speak to someone about what we can do. The staff were very rude and said that there was nothing they could do. GIven this we are now having to try to get our money back which was taken even though we did not receive a QR code via email. So disappointing. Plus the whole nature reserve feels like it is being treated like a rubbish dump for Naples. You'd think this would be a place to be proud of with the history.
