Ercolano And Cantine Del Vesuvio

Herculaneum

The smaller sister of Pompeii, is a destination for lovers of beauty. Visitors to the ancient city have the rare opportunity to see patrician villas perfectly intact. A miracle of conservation in which even the wood and strings of the 2000 year old city are exhibited, along with the stunning brick work, mosaics and frescoes. The detail with which Herculaneum has been preserved is remarkable considering the violence of the 500 ° C volcanic flows, which devastated the city.

Wine tasting fruit of the Vesuvius

After wandering through the culturally rich ruins of Herculaneum all morning, it's time for a well-deserved moment of relaxation. Retire to the vineyard that produces the famous Lacryma Christi vintage, literally "Lacrima di Cristo", and boasts a magnificent view of Mount Vesuvius. Enjoy a pleasant lunch and wine tasting and soon you too look at Vesuvius, the sacred mountain of wine, like the ancient inhabitants of Ercolano once.
