Pompeii, Herculaneum and Mount Vesuvius
Top |
Pompeii
Your private local licensed Pompeii guide will take
you on a fascinating tour through this once thriving
empire of nearly 20,000 inhabitants that was
completely covered in 30 feet of volcanic ash. Take
in the baths, villas, theatres and wrestling
grounds.
Herculaneum
Is an ancient residential town of Greek origins, a
smaller town with a wealthier population at the time
of the eruption. Covered by a torrent of mud rather
than ash, the ruins are in some ways even
better-preserved, and the site offers a variety of
beautiful scenery and invaluable arts. Embark on a
walking tour through the villas with portico
gardens, fountains and baths, and admire the wall
frescoes and floor mosaics. Excavations of
Herculaneum began by accident in 1709 when some
workers, digging a well, discovered a wall which was
later found to be one of the stages of the ancient
theatre. Later, there were many human skeletons
uncovered at the ancient shoreline, suggesting that
numerous inhabitants attempted to escape but
perished when mountains collapsed and volcanic gases
were released.
Vesuvius
Vesuvius has erupted about three dozen times. View
the crater of Vesuvius, 1281 meters above sea level,
by walking for approximately 45 minutes up the steep
mount, as the road for vehicles terminates half way
up this climb.

Campania Region

Departure from Sorrento, port of Naples or hotel.
Meeting with your local guide and driver.
Your first destination is
Gragnano,
a lovely little town of the Gulf of Naples, located
right in the heart of the Monti Lattari between the
Gulf of Amalfi and the Gulf of Sorrento.
The town is well known all over the world for the
production of the Pasta , for the tasty salami and
the fantastic
Provolone del Monaco,
typical product of our mounts. The great
macaroni
are made with simple and genuine ingredients (water
from the springs of Gragnano, hard wheat bran,
passion, amore and fantasy).
There were and are three different kind of
production: at home, where women compete in making
the
fusilli
as fast as possible; in family run factories, where
the tradition of the pasta pass from father to son
always keeping in mind the quality of the product;
later came the small industries, that allow all the
Italians to have pasta daily.
Visit of a pasta factory of the area, where the
secrets of ancient tradition are kept jealously.
Here they use machines, respecting the time of the
traditional way of making the pasta, in order to
save all the nutritive and organoleptic
characteristics of it. Thanks to this tour, you will
have the great chance to see all the process to make
this product: first phase of soft drying process;
press to pug and draw the pasta both long and short
cuts; drying on loom.
Lunch in a restaurant where the pasta is the queen
on the tables, on the walls and in the air: you will
see many different cuts of pasta from the best
factories of Gragnano; on the walls there are
ancient pictures about the history of the pasta here
in town; and the menu is something peculiar.
You will then reach a great farm winery. It has got
25 fantastic hectare of vineyards located at the
slopes of the Vesuvius. The volcanic soil is
excellent for the grow of the vineyards as it is not
hospitable to many of the dangerous parasite of the
grapes. Here you have the chance to take a tour
across the vineyards and they will explain you all
the process of the production of the wine. Finally
you will enjoy the taste of three different
Lacrima Christy
(white, red and rosé) .
This tour is an authentic taste of our land and the
best way to welcome a new amore into your
heart.
