Meet Margherita

Come visit a third-generation, family-owned vineyard located in midst of historical Pompeii, just steps from the city's ruins. Margherita’s family has been in the hospitality business for decades, first starting with a hotel started by her grandfather over 30 years ago. Realizing a long-held dream of her grandfather, the family opened their family winery two years ago. Margherita grew up in the family hotel in the center of Pompeii and together with her brothers and sisters (five of them in total) they continue to run the winery and hotel. Everyone who is working at the winery is a cousin, relative or close friend of the family. Join Margherita, or if she is unavailable one of her colleagues, for a tour of their vineyards and winery followed by a lunch and wine tasting in their beautiful winery café, all located just a 10-minute walk from the historic Pompeii ruins.

What to expect

Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.

Food tour: (1-12 guests) Step into a historic winery for a private Pompeii wine tour and tasting. Start your experience with a tour of the vineyards and winery, which will be led by either Margherita or one of her close colleagues. Your tour will take you through the vineyards and then you will go inside the wine cellar, all while hearing the story of this fascinating family’s history. Learn about (and taste!) their experimental wine aged in terra cotta pots, prepared just as the Romans did over 2,000 years ago. After your tour, which will last about 30 minutes, leave your tour guide and head to the winery restaurant where you will enjoy lunch and a wine tasting led by a trained sommelier. For your lunch, enjoy a four course meal with a selection of starters followed by a ravioli pasta course, a main of entrecote with seasonal vegetables, and end with a special dessert of the house. Please note your tour will be private, and your lunch (included in price of experience) will be on your own in the winery café, with wine brought to you and described by the sommelier.
