Roman imperial aristocracy VINEYARDS, WINE & FOOD. WINE living archaeology.
Pompei is the only ancient city in the world whose everyday life was frozen in a day, it was not abandoned or destroyed (“simply” covered by millions of tons of volcano ash), so in the taverns there are still the remains of food, in the amphorae wine, in the villas the private vineyards of the nobles.
A Wine Spectator Top 100 listed winery and University of Naples have restored ancient vineyards exactly where they were and with the same vines and today produces the Villa dei Misteri wine with ancient Roman techniques.
This is an exceptional experiment of living archaeology: our guest will be guided into the vineyards by a licensed guide expert in ancient Roman wine & food, will taste an “impossible” wine and will try perfect pairing with the ancient Roman cuisine.
Here we are not talking about modern “imitations”, this is really the food & wine world of the Roman Emperors !!!

Emotional living history experience
The project began in the 90s, when the Archaeological Superintendency of Pompeii gave to one of the most prestigious Italian wineries, the task of restoring viticulture in the ancient city of Pompei.
Archaeological investigations, botanical studies, detection of vines ‘s roots and the relative support posts (forever “immortalized” by the great eruption of 79 AD) confirmed the presence of this crop within the walls of the city, in the gardens and vegetable gardens that adorned the villas of the aristocrats, and in the suburbs near the Amphitheater.
Pompei is a symbol of history and civilization and immediately talks about Italy.
Every year over two and a half million tourists visit the archaeological excavations BUT our special guest have the privilege to visit the vineyards and taste the wine.
The “real ancient Roman” wine, produced in the vineyards inside Pompei, it’s the extraordinary messenger of our most ancient cultures and traditions.
It comes from vines grown inside the aristocratic Domus of Pompei, right where they were growing 2,000 years ago.
This incredible PRIVATE experience includes:
• Entrance to Pompei’s archaeological area
• Guided tour (morning and afternoon) led by a licensed guide expert in ancient Roman wine & food
• Guided tasting of The “real ancient Roman” wine
• Full LUNCH in a restaurant with an ancient Roman menu in combination with this “impossible” wine
Please note that the “real ancient Roman” wine is produced in a very limited number of bottles that goes rapidly out of stock, so ask about it BEFORE booking…
The “real ancient Roman” wine Rosso Pompeiano I.G.T. 20% Aglianico, 20% Sciascinoso, 60% Piedirosso, ancient vines from Pompei.
Aged for 24 months in oak barriques, then refined 60 months in bottle.
Spicy aromas with black pepper in evidence accompanied by leather, incense, ripe fruit, balsamic notes and ash.
Do not expect a Supertuscan, a Brunello or a Barolo or an Amarone… this is the wine of the Roman Emperors, exactly that, it looks like nothing more recent than 2,000 years.
The Pompeii’s Roman nobles are pleased to have you their guests and to offer it on their table.
