Cantina Del Vesuvio Winery

An incredible place, especially at sunset! Fantastic food and extremely nice people! We recommend a visit!!

A beautiful experience. We were welcomed into a little paradise and in a very short time we were already tasting an excellent rosé sparkling wine. We took a tour of the company and then had lunch with some local delicacies. Our guide was phenomenal.

The best wine tour I have ever done in Italy… I went to Tuscany and it was good… but this is the best… The food, the service, the place… you are in front of Vesuvius… it is excellent

Very good service, excellent products. Very good lunch. Highly recommended!

Thank you for your hospitality!!! Thank you for the free parking space in paradise, for the great tour of the vineyard at the foot of Vesuvius including wine tasting and for the extremely good food. We'll definitely see each other again soon! Grazie

Around the middle of the last century, in 1948 to be precise, in a historical period in which Italy was recovering from the destruction of the Second World War, it was Giovanni Russo who gave life to a small winemaking business along the slopes of Vesuvius, precisely in Trecase. At the time, the wine was mainly sold in local markets, and Giovanni's business began to flourish so much that soon his son, Maurizio Russo, also began working in his father's company. Then we arrive at the beginning of the 2000s, when Maurizio himself brought about a turning point in the business, significantly raising the quality level of the wines produced. Currently spread over a total area of 12 hectares, the "Cantina del Vesuvio" is located within the Vesuvius National Park, not far from the archaeological excavations of Pompeii. Growing among its rows only and exclusively the two most typical varieties of the area, such as Caprettone and Piedirosso, the company sees its vines grown with espalier or Vesuvian pergola, and above all managed according to the rules of certified organic agriculture, and therefore respecting to the maximum what is the balance of the environment, nature, ecosystem and biodiversity. This quality standard allows the customer to fully enjoy the flavors with perfectly balanced combinations that make each bite unique. The secondary elements are never placed to cover the main element of the dish but always accompany it, so as to allow the palate to distinguish the flavors from each other. The combinations, expertly recommended by the dining room staff, prove decisive in enhancing the flavors that, in the mouth, appear clear, full-bodied but at the same time delicate and persistent. Each dish is a wonderful poem that you would never want to stop. Flavors and aromas are the protagonists of this incredible adventure that begins when you cross the threshold of a wonderful winery. A place that hides an immense universe within itself. In the cellar, all the spaces are functional to the maximum, and the most modern winemaking technologies are always used without ever forgetting the raw material, which is promptly processed in order to enhance and valorize everything that the season and the territory have been able to express in the bunches. In the constant sign of the highest quality standards, labels of the highest level come to life, capable of telling the most beautiful side of Vesuvius when it comes to wine. From Lacryma Christi interpreted in the “Rosso”, “Bianco” and “Rosato” versions up to the Spumante Extra Dry, to close with the Acquavite and the Grappa, they are all bottles, those that refer to the name of “Cantine del Vesuvio”, children of the deepest love for their lands and fruit of the most unconditional passion for their profession. True wines.

I had the pleasure of eating at Cantina del Vesuvio Winery, and I have to say it was an amazing experience, absolutely 5 stars. The breathtaking view overlooking Vesuvius and the vineyards is a perfect preview of what awaits you at the table. The dishes were authentic and cared for in the smallest details, prepared with the freshest ingredients. The wines are exceptional and pair wonderfully with the dishes served. The service was impeccable: the staff was welcoming, attentive and very knowledgeable in telling the history of the place and the wines. The atmosphere is relaxing and authentic. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to discover the true essence of Vesuvius, between food, wine and hospitality. I can't wait to go back!

We took a guided tour with Giovanni, who accompanied us with professionalism, responding to every need. Our most sincere compliments to all the staff, kind and prepared on all production lines; cordial and prepared the collaborators in the dining room, excellent dishes served. Particularly appreciated the attention to organic and the exaltation of native vines, vinified in purity. We will return. Highly recommended.

My family and I participated in the private lunch experience and could not have been more impressed. The staff are very welcoming and the location is beautiful, with views of Mount Vesuvius and the Gulf of Naples in the distance. We started by learning about the history of the winery before proceeding to where they store and process their wines. Afterwards, Ester and Antonella prepared a delectable 4 course meal at the family villa, each paired with a wine that captures the essence of the cantina. Ester’s red wine vinegar was another highlight that complimented the assortment of cheeses really well. I particularly admire the organic philosophy they embody, meaning no sulfates are present in their wines. I strongly recommend this winery to anyone who will be visiting Pompeii. A huge thank you to Cantina Vesuvio Russo for an outstanding experience!

Unique and wonderful place… We arrived by scooter from the center of Naples for a wine tasting accompanied by a full lunch. Unique just for the position with Vesuvius on the left and the sea on the right.. Unique wines and reservations I would say mandatory. Excellent Caprettone (native to this area) and Aglianico. Also try the vinegar.

Extraordinary visit. A spectacular place and a tasting of good wine, good food and very good service. Highly recommended!!

First of all, it is worth it. The view is incredible, the wines are good, and the food is good. However, for those who are used to visiting wineries, they should adjust their expectations, as the service is too rushed and impersonal. Everything is well organized and highly professional for mass tourism. Even on quiet days like the one we were there, the service remains the same, with a “pushy” spirit, making it difficult to enjoy the view, food, and wines. Furthermore, even with a group of 9 people like ours, they did not want to open another bottle, so each person had to taste a professional tasting, which is not appropriate for a lunch in a winery. Since we had visited the South of Italy several times, and had experience all over the world, it fell far short of what we expected, as it did not reach the level of warmth in the welcome and abundance of food and drink. Another thing to note is that the wines, although good, are not appropriate for the price range charged. In short, accepting a spirit of mass tourism, the visit will satisfy everyone.

Best experience ever. Both the wine, the view, Mister Carmine, their wine vinegar, and the virgin oil. They made sure to pair the food with the best wine combo. Highly recommend for at least one visit. Also got free shuttle and a cat.

Very excellent, location and service, attendant Paola is spectacular

What a great place. We stayed there for two nights with our motorhome and enjoyed an excellent lunch with accompanying wines. The very professional and competent team was a delight. Paola in particular, with her friendly, competent and professional manner, accompanied us through the two wonderful days. We would love to come back.

Beautiful experience! Paola gave us a tour in Spanish, the food was excellent and the wines were as unique as the atmosphere. 5 stars are not enough for the excellent service they offer. Highly recommended!!

Absolutely amazing experience! The staff is very nice, the food and wines are amazing! Highly recommend! There is a free shuttle from the nearby town but not from pompei, taxi from pompei is 40 euros. The shuttle can take you back for free as well.

Amazing from beginning to end. All wines delicious (from a rose drinker). The food was also incredible. Must do whilst in the area. All staff very welcoming and gave good information on what we were drinking and eating and how to pair them together.

We came here on a friend’s recommendation and it did not disappoint. It’s such a gorgeous setting and the food was excellent and wine delicious. The team at Cantina del Vesuvio were so friendly and helpful both via email and in person.

You can have lunch, although it is not a restaurant and you will not be disappointed. Local products are served and you will discover their organic wines and olive oils. To discover if you are in the region!

Very beautiful property and a fantastic experience! The wines were excellent. We liked everything from start to finish, and we also give the lunch 10/10 points! Highly recommended :)

We were there this afternoon, Friday July 5, 2024 for a visit to the estate and the winery followed by a meal. Very nice presentation animated with passion, while tasting a rosé wine. The guide spoke a little French, also perfect in English. Excellent lunch accompanied by different wines in tasting formula. Very attentive staff, for the service of the meal and also for the service of the wines the young man made sure to communicate to us all the oenological information for each wine served, in English. A very pleasant young person also at the reception who speaks perfect French, having studied in France with whom we were able to exchange. Bravo! The environment is surprising, right in the middle of the vineyards on a slope of Vesuvius and facing the Bay of Naples. Exceptional. We highly recommend.

What a view!!! We spent a night with our van in this area, the location is ideal and the view of Vesuvius is breathtaking… everything is very well organized and the welcome is great. I recommend this establishment with pleasure 👍🏼

Our last experience at Cantina del Vesuvio Winery Russo was magical. We celebrated our Silver Jubilee with a tasting of Lacryma de Christi wines, produced there at the foot of Mount Vesuvius. Ester and Giovanni are wonderful. The food, drink, atmosphere, music, absolutely everything made our celebration unforgettable for our family!

After a long walk we arrive in front of a very elegant closed gate. When it opens we start the last few meters to the building, and what a surprise! Everything is impeccable, the restaurant is magnificent, the roof top where lunch and tasting take place with a breathtaking view, the entire vineyard renovated with breathtaking elegance. After a visit (a little too quick for my taste because I am passionate about wine) we start a hearty lunch and the tasting of at least 8 of their wines. Magnificent experience and quality service. Unbeatable value for money! We can only recommend!

Far from the hustle and bustle of the metropolis of Naples, an idyllic winery stretches out right at the foot of Vesuvius. Spectacular views of the volcano on one side and the sea and the island of Capri on the other. And the best is yet to come. The visual impressions are rounded off with delicious regional specialties and excellent wine. Definitely worth a visit! PS The wine and olive oil can also be delivered.

A very pleasant tour, with a beautiful view of Mount Vesuvius. You will arrive tasting an excellent sparkling rosé wine. After the tour of the vineyards and the factory, there will be a great banquet paired with white wine, two reds (one reserve) and, finally, a dessert wine, all of good quality. The food is traditional and made with local ingredients. There is a shop downstairs, with the winery's products. The experience as a whole is unmissable!

Excellent everything! The service is very good, the food is complete (antipasto, pasta, polpette, and dessert) A terrace with an incredible view. 100% recommended!

A winery at the foot of Vesuvius, where the grapes for the famous Lacryma Christi ripen. And only here! After an informative tour of the vineyards and the distillery, we sit on a beautiful terrace with a panoramic view of Vesuvius, the vineyards and the Sorrento peninsula. We are served 5 Lacryma Christi wines with a 3-course menu. We enjoy the ambience and the wine for 2 hours. Then we retreat to our camper van. You can actually stay there overnight in the car park with a view of Pompei and Vesuvius. At 6 p.m. the winery closes and we enjoy the heavenly peace even though Pompei and Naples are below us. A short time later it becomes clear: we are in the middle of the party zone of Naples and Pompei. At first the music is still bar music, but then it gradually changes into disco rhythms. From different directions, which creates quite a cacophony. Until 12:30 a.m.! And we saw or heard 10 fireworks during this time. The rest of the night was nice and quiet 😀! I'm not going to deduct a star though, as I'm rating the Cantina del Vesuvio and not the surrounding area.
