Lacryma Christi wine tasting

The wine, the cuisine and the area: there's a thread that ties together the magic of this landscape at the foot of Vesuvius with its culinary traditions and, above all, with the passion for Lacryma Christi, the wine that comes from this area.
Experience a unique blend of nature, local flavors, and the traditions of Vesuvius, starting with a walk through the vineyards to take in the scenic panorama embracing the Gulf of Naples, Sorrento, and the island of Capri.
We then move on to visiting the wine cellars, where we will demonstrate and explain our production methods prior to the wine tasting, where we pair the wines with local culinary specialties from this corner of paradise on the slopes of Vesuvius. We look forward to seeing you!
