Cantina Del Vesuvio

Client Overview

Cantina Del Vesuvio winery is located in Naples, Italy on the foothills of Mt. Vesuvius.

Today, they are one of the most popular wineries in Southern Italy, offering wine tastings, cellar tours and even cooking classes. Most of the visitors they receive are from the United States.
