The ancient city of Pompeii is one of Italy´s leading attractions: more than four million people visit the site each year. But many travelers pass through on a quick day trip from Rome or Naples, usually en route to the Amalfi Coast. What they don´t realize is that Pompeii is much more than its archeological ruins. The city is home to innovative wineries and picturesque vineyards that thrive in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius.
Pompeii enjoyed a long history of viticulture as evidenced in historical texts, frescoes and dolias (amphorae) discovered throughout the ancient city. Wine was a prominent fixture at banquets, and wealthy Pompeiians grew their own vines in the city’s suburban gardens.
