    About this experience

    Join us for an unforgettable night on Mount Vesuvius! Starting with a roundtrip transfer from Pompei (our meeting point is a few minutes away from the ruins area!) you'll head to a local winery on the slopes of the volcano, offering incredible views of the Gulf of Sorrento and Capri. Kick off the adventure with a guided horseback ride through the vineyards, exploring the terrain of Mount Vesuvius under the stars. Feel the thrill of riding beneath this iconic volcano while learning about the area from our local guides. After the ride, relax at the winery and enjoy a BBQ featuring fresh local meats, vegetables, and wines produced right on the slopes of our volcano! Dine with stunning views of Vesuvius and the coastline, soaking up the true flavors of southern Italy. Please note: The horseback ride is at a slow pace, it's meant to spend time with animals and admire the views, it's not suitable for those who would like to galop/ride fast

    A hidden gem

    It was the highlight of our trip in Italy. Friendly tour guide and the horses are beginner safe. We had the best cheruterie in the country at the lunch venue, overlooking the Vesuvio

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing such rewarding feedback on TripAdvisor! 🐴🍷 Knowing that your horseback riding experience on Mt. Vesuvius was 'the highlight' of your trip to Italy means the absolute world to us. We take great care in ensuring our horses are gentle and beginner-friendly, and hearing your praise for our charcuterie board and the views overlooking Vesuvius is the greatest compliment we could receive. Warmest wishes from our entire team—and from the horses!

    Horseback Riding on Mt. Vesuvius with Wine Tasting and Dinner: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pompeii.

    How much does Horseback Riding on Mt. Vesuvius with Wine Tasting and Dinner cost?

    +

    Prices start at $169 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Pompeii usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Horseback Riding on Mt. Vesuvius with Wine Tasting and Dinner take?

    +

    Plan for about 4.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Pompeii is not rushed.

    Is Horseback Riding on Mt. Vesuvius with Wine Tasting and Dinner worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 20 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Pompeii, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Horseback Riding on Mt. Vesuvius with Wine Tasting and Dinner?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Horseback Riding on Mt. Vesuvius with Wine Tasting and Dinner suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Horseback Riding on Mt. Vesuvius with Wine Tasting and Dinner?

    +

    Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Pompeii can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Pompeii and add a light layer if any part of the 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Horseback Riding on Mt. Vesuvius with Wine Tasting and Dinner start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Pompeii within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Pompeii?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Pompeii experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Premium Minivan Trip from Rome: Pompeii Tour & Lunch in Sorrento, Skip the Line Guided Tour of Pompeii Led by an Archaeologist, Explore Pompeii with an Archaeologist. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Pompeii?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Pompeii?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
