Welcome to Cantina Del Vesuvio - Discover our wine, born of the volcano

More goes into our Lacryma Christi wine than just grapes:

The land: Tour our 16-hectare vineyard, planted in the volcanic soil of the slopes of Mt. Vesuvius.
The people: Meet Maurizio Russo, the youngest of this historic family of winemakers.
The work: See how our family has worked these hills every day since 1930 to create a winery that combines the rigors of organic production with the warmth of Italian hospitality. We only produce a limited number of bottles a year, all of which are sold directly from our own wine shop.

Where we're located

In Vesuvius National Park

Cantina del Vesuvio is located in the open countryside on the slopes of Mt. Vesuvius. Situated in the village of Trecase, the winery is only a few kilometers from the archaeological site of Pompeii. This position makes Cantina del Vesuvio an ideal stopping point between a visit to Pompeii and a climb to the crater of Mt. Vesuvius.

Free shuttle service from Pompeii and Torre Annunziata

For those who are unable to arrive by car, we offer a free shuttle service from Pompeii Porta Marina, right at the exit of the archaeological park (the meeting point is the NCC Point before the freeway entrance) or from Torre Annunziata Oplonti station. Our shuttle service availability is limited, so we require a reservation request via email at least 3 days in advance. We are unable to guarantee availability for last-minute requests.
