The hike up to the crater...
The hike up to the crater was great. The weather was very hot and humid but worth it. I was very disappointed in the wine tasting. We learned nothing about the grapes and the wine process for each varietal. Instead they just poured wine with a large meal. The bus ride was long and the air conditioning only cooled those near the front.

Could have been better organised at the pick up
via Tripadvisor
Climbing Vesuvius before a long lunch.
Coach pick up in Sorrento was on time and well organised. The trip to Vesuvius was pleasant, you are dropped off right outside the final walk to the summit…a good 30 min walk up quite the incline. Wear sensible footwear, the effort is worth it as the views are spectacular. The journey to the vineyard is a further 45 min drive, but again well worth it. The hosts are attentive the food is plentiful and the wine servings are generous. Met some lovely people over a very nice long lunch. Nice that the drop off was via each groups hotel. All in all, good value for the two great experiences

Good Tour if You Don’t Mind Large Groups
I joined a tour that included a climb up Mount Vesuvius and a visit to a winery with wine tasting. Personally, I usually prefer smaller, more intimate groups because I enjoy connecting with people. When I realized it was a full bus, I was a bit disappointed — I only really had the chance to meet a few people during lunch. The guide was very kind and gave nice insights about the places we passed, sharing a bit of local history and culture, which I appreciated. The hike up Vesuvius I did on my own and truly enjoyed the time at the top. As for the wine tasting, I had high expectations but felt it was rather vague. For someone with some knowledge of wine, I would have appreciated more detailed explanations. The visit to the estate was also quite short and didn’t allow much time to enjoy the space. Overall, if you don’t mind large groups and are simply looking for a straightforward excursion, this can be a good option. But if you’re seeking a more personal experience and meaningful connection, it might not be the best choice.

Too Hot - Too Long for July
Luciana was a very nice and professional guide, Fillipo was an excellent driver, but the tour was simply too long and too hot in July. It was advertised as a 6 hour excursion, but it was actually very close to 8 hours? The food and wine lunch was fantastic. I’m sure this tour would be much better in cooler months.

Vesuvius & Vineyard select from Sorrento: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.
How much does Vesuvius & Vineyard select from Sorrento cost?
+
Prices start at $117 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sorrento usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Vesuvius & Vineyard select from Sorrento take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Sorrento is not rushed.
Is Vesuvius & Vineyard select from Sorrento worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 31 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Sorrento, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Vesuvius & Vineyard select from Sorrento?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Vesuvius & Vineyard select from Sorrento suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Vesuvius & Vineyard select from Sorrento?
+
Around 11 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 Sorrento 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 Sorrento and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Vesuvius & Vineyard select from Sorrento 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 Sorrento 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 Sorrento?
+
On Outty we rank every Sorrento experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sorrento Farm and Food Experience including Olive Oil, Limoncello, Wine tasting, Pizza School with Wine and Limoncello Tasting in a Local Farm, Authentic Farm Tour with Pizza, Cheese, Wine & Limoncello Tasting. 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 Sorrento?
+
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 Sorrento?
+
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.
