About this experience
Discover the perfect blend of adventure, culture, and cuisine in this exclusive full-day experience. Begin with a scenic horseback ride through Vesuvius's volcanic landscapes, where every trail offers stunning views of the Bay of Sorrento and ancient countryside. After working up an appetite on horseback, retreat to an authentic Vesuvian winery where volcanic soil creates wines with unique mineral flavors found nowhere else on earth. Your hosts will share family winemaking traditions while you savor a traditional Italian lunch paired with their finest vintages. This is the Italy you've dreamed of - adventure, authentic flavors, and landscapes that have inspired travelers for centuries, all in one magical day. 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

Something different than seeing the Ruins
The horseback riding was good. My horse was excellent ( English rider) , but 2 others in the group had a bit of trouble with their horses ( western riding) . It was only a 50 minute trail ride in the vineyards but it was still nice. I got to ride in the ring a bit to trot and cantor my horse, which was nice of them to let me do. I was the only one in the group whom was doing the wine tasting and lunch. So , was brought to a vineyard where they were set up outside (tent covering the lunch area) but right in the vineyard. There were others there, but I had a table for 1. The setting was beautiful. The wine tasting ( 5 wines and a Cantelope Limoncello at the end). All tastings were excellent. The lunch was also good and they accommodated me being a vegetarian. Everything was yummie. A definite must do if you want something different than seeing the ruins.
Response from the operator: We are thrilled to read that you had such a great time with us! Thank you for recommending us and for sharing your experience with other travelers. We hope to see you again soon for another fantastic day together.

Horse, view, wine, food, and liquid dessert - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
This was so much fun! Even for beginners - I have been on a horse 3 times in my life, and I didn't have any difficulty following the instructions given by our guide. The landscape was beautiful - Vesuvius on one side, and the Bay of Naples on the other off in the distance. After the riding, we were driven to the wine tasting and lunch. The wine was delicious. The food was fantastic. The Limoncello and Meloncello were amazing. I would highly recommend this excursion!

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Scenic Horseback Ride, Wine Tasting & Lunch on Mt. Vesuvius: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pompeii.
How much does Scenic Horseback Ride, Wine Tasting & Lunch on Mt. Vesuvius cost?
+
Prices start at $154 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 Scenic Horseback Ride, Wine Tasting & Lunch on Mt. Vesuvius take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Scenic Horseback Ride, Wine Tasting & Lunch on Mt. Vesuvius worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 25 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 Scenic Horseback Ride, Wine Tasting & Lunch on Mt. Vesuvius?
+
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 Scenic Horseback Ride, Wine Tasting & Lunch on Mt. Vesuvius suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Scenic Horseback Ride, Wine Tasting & Lunch on Mt. Vesuvius?
+
Around 9 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Scenic Horseback Ride, Wine Tasting & Lunch on Mt. Vesuvius 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.
