Mount Vesuvius, on the west coast of Italy, is the only active volcano on mainland Europe. On your Mt Vesuvius Wine and Hike Tour you will notice that the aftermath of the previous eruptions has created a lush-green environment on the slopes of the volcano. Vineyards cling to the hillsides and the air is scented by citrus groves. The view from Mt. Vesuvius on a clear day is stunning, with the curve of the coast and the tiny white houses set amongst the orange and lemon blossoms.

Start your Amalfi coast tour with transfer to Mt Vesuvius and meet your English - speaking guide. Hear stories about this active volcano which famously buried Pompeii in 79 AD. After a 1km drive on the slopes start your hike to reach the crater on foot. Dress comfortably and remember to bring your camera with you as the views are magnificent.

Some of you might wonder why people did and still continue to live in the shadow of an active volcano. The truth is - lavic soil is perfect for growing plants including the vines. Learn all about Lacryma Christi wine which has been produced since Ancient Roman times and is typical of Mt Vesuvius area. Legend has it that the vines sprang miraculously from the earth when Christ's tears fell on the soil. Enjoy a visit to a local celebrated winery including wine tasting and light lunch with local specialties. Conclude your Mt Vesuvius hike and wine tour with a return transfer to your accommodation.
