Start your day by stepping into the past at the ruins of Pompeii. An expert guide will walk you through this ancient city, telling the story of the Roman Empire — from the streets to the temples, it’s like time-traveling to 79 AD. Next, we’ll switch gears and dive into some serious Italian vibes! You’ll be driven through the volcanic hills of Mount Vesuvius to explore a local winery, where the rich soil gives life to unique, world-class grapes. You’ll sip on Lacryma Christi (Tears of Christ) — the wine the ancient Romans loved, and still a local treasure today.

Great Day in Pompei
Every point along the way the tour was handled with professionalism. Our Driver was on time and our arrival at the Archeological Site was ahead of schedule and we had plenty of time to meet our guide. The winery staff was knowledgeable and courteous. They spent time answering our questions about the different wines. In addition to the wine, many components of the lunch also originated at the winery, including the olive oil, an olive oil and vinegar dressing and honey. The wine was excellent. I highly recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: thank you for the wonderful feedback! We are so glad to hear that every step of the tour was handled with professionalism, and that your driver was on time, ensuring an early and smooth arrival at the Archaeological Site. We hope the rest of your day was just as fantastic!

Pompeii is a must, and you’re fine with just one winery visit
We had Fabrizio for the Pompeii tour and he was wonderful! I’m so glad we did a guided tour. Two hours was just enough time there before lunch, but we would love to come back to spend all day at the ruins. Lunch and wine tasting at Quirinoli was perfect. All the wines were great and paired well with the food, which was delicious. Our second winery was less personal and seemed to run more like a restaurant. They didn’t explain the wines and didn’t really interact with us, except for a very friendly younger man who was working there. I was impressed by the coordination of everything, as all of us for the Pompeii ruins tour had different afternoon activities planned. Fabrizio got us all on our separate ways and our drivers made sure we got going from point A to point B seamlessly. It was so smooth, we didn’t have to think about it at all. Before I booked this tour, I read the reviews and had a heads up that one winery may not be the best time, but this was our only opportunity to visit some wineries during our quick trip in Italy and I wanted to make the most of it. Our time at Quirinoli was so good that we would have been satisfied doing only that, so if you are deciding between this tour with one or two winery visits like I was, you’ll be set with just the one. I would give this overall tour 4.5 stars, but it would be 5 stars if the experience at the second winery was more fun.

Had the bst exepereince...
Had the best experience touring beautiful wineries and trying delicious wines from the vineyards. The Pompeii tour was amazing, and being able to learn so much about the area and see so much for the value was perfect!

This entire excision is worth it because of Quirinoli
This experience was incredible. Our tour guide clearly loved history and art and was deeply knowledgeable about the Pompeii ruins. The tour ran on time. The tour guide made the whole tour. She was witty and well-seasoned in her work. The wineries that we stopped at were the icing on the cake. Particularly Quirinoli was one of our favorite experiences of the entire Italy trip. The host - Lorenzo was hilarious and warm and authentic. We loved him so much and his charm and his vibe set the tone for the best part of the entire excursion. The Somalia gave us heavy pours of the smoothest crispest wine we have ever tasted. We are already planning to buy and ship his wine (and the Meloncello) to our home to continue to enjoy. The second winery was lovely and lively. Everyone was welcoming and the views were unparalleled. But the gem of the whole experience was Lorenzo and Quirinoli.

Pompeii Guided Tour & Lunch with Superior Wine Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pompeii.
How much does Pompeii Guided Tour & Lunch with Superior Wine Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at $167 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 Pompeii Guided Tour & Lunch with Superior Wine Tasting 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 Pompeii Guided Tour & Lunch with Superior Wine Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 88 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 Pompeii Guided Tour & Lunch with Superior Wine Tasting?
+
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 Pompeii Guided Tour & Lunch with Superior Wine Tasting 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 Pompeii Guided Tour & Lunch with Superior Wine Tasting?
+
Around 31 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 Pompeii Guided Tour & Lunch with Superior Wine Tasting 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, Pompeii : Shared Tour with Archaeologist Guide and Ticket Included, 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.
