Choose the ride that suits your day: a focused two-hour trail ride, a half-day with wine tasting and lunch at a Vesuvian winery, or an evening ride followed by BBQ and local wines under the stars. 📋 Key Details Duration: 2 to 4.5 hours depending on the option you book Location: Vesuvius National Park, near Pompei Minimum age: from 6 years on the ride-only option (varies by experience) Group size: 2 to 8 riders on most departures Difficulty: Easy ride for all levels 🪁 What to Expect All three experiences start from the same meeting point in central Pompei before a short transfer to the riding base. You are fitted with a helmet, matched with a calm horse suited to your experience, and given a short briefing on mounting and basic signals before the group sets off on national park trails below the crater rim. Ride only (about 2 hours): A focused horseback outing on Vesuvius slopes through vineyards and lava fields with photo stops and wide views over the bay. Ideal if you want the riding without a meal. Wine tasting and lunch (about 4 hours): The same scenic ride, then time at a family winery on the volcano slopes for a guided tasting and traditional Italian lunch with local wines. Optional roundtrip pickup from Naples is available when you book that rate. Wine tasting and dinner (about 4.5 hours, evening): A guided ride through the vineyards as daylight fades, followed by a relaxed BBQ at the winery with fresh local meats, vegetables and wines produced on the slopes of Vesuvius, with views towards the Gulf of Sorrento and Capri. Your guide sets a comfortable pace on every route, with rest breaks and attention for nervous or first-time riders throughout. 📍 Location Mount Vesuvius dominates the skyline from Pompei, Naples and Sorrento, rising above the Bay of Naples. Riding trails on its fertile lower slopes pass vines growing in volcanic soil, with the Pompeii plain spreading out towards the sea. Via Plinio 46 in central Pompei is the meeting point, a short walk from the archaeological site and the Circumvesuviana railway. Winery visits on the longer options take place on the volcano slopes above the trails. ✅ Prerequisites First-timers are welcome and no riding experience is required on any option. Minimum ages differ by experience: from 6 on the ride-only outing, from 11 on the lunch experience, and f… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Guided horseback ride on Vesuvius slopes within the national park (all options) Experienced riding guide and calm, trained horses Helmet and riding equipment on site Wine tasting and traditional Italian lunch at a Vesuvian winery (wine and lunch option only) BBQ dinner with local wines at the winery (wine and dinner option only) Optional roundtrip pickup from Naples (wine and lunch option only, when that rate is selected at booking) ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point unless your booked rate includes Naples pickup Food and drinks on the ride-only option Personal travel insurance Tips for guides and grooms ### Kit list _None._ ## FAQs ### Which experience should I book? Three options share the same meeting point and riding base. The ride-only outing is about two hours on Vesuvius trails with bay views and no meal. The wine tasting and lunch option adds about four hours in total with a winery visit, tasting and traditional lunch after the ride. The wine tasting and dinner option is an evening ride followed by BBQ and local wines at the winery. Choose the option that matches how much time you have and whether you want food and wine included. Prices and departure times are shown when you select your date. ### What happens on the ride? Every option includes a guided ride on trails within Vesuvius National Park at around 500 metres above sea level. Local law means horses do not go to the crater rim. Your guide matches you with a calm horse and sets a pace for the group. First-time riders receive a short briefing before you mount. ### What is included in the lunch option? After the scenic ride you visit a family winery on the volcano slopes for a guided tasting and traditional Italian lunch paired with local wines. The ride, guide, horses, helmet and equipment are included. You can also select a rate with roundtrip pickup from Naples when available at booking. ### What is included in the dinner option? The evening experience combines a guided ride through the vineyards with a BBQ at the winery featuring fresh local meats, vegetables and wines from the slopes of Vesuvius. Expect views towards the Gulf of Sorrento and Capri as you dine after the ride. Helmets and riding equipment are provided on site. ### Where do we meet? Meet at Via Plinio 46 in Pompei, at the bar and tobacconist on the corner. Arrive around fifteen minutes early so the team can fit helmets and introduce your horse. The Circumvesuviana train stops nearby. Parking in central Pompei can be busy, so allow extra time in summer. ### What is the minimum age? The ride-only option welcomes children from age six when a responsible adult rides in the same group. The wine and lunch option requires riders from age eleven. The evening dinner option accepts children from age five when accompanied appropriately. Ask before booking if you are unsure which option suits younger riders in your group. ### How large is the group? Most departures run from two to eight riders. The evening dinner experience may run with up to six riders in the group. Larger parties may need to book multiple slots or ask about a private arrangement through the booking system. ### What should I wear? Helmets and riding equipment are provided on site. Wear long trousers and closed shoes with a small heel if possible. Avoid loose scarves that could catch. Sun cream and a light layer help on the open slopes. For evening rides, bring an extra layer for after sunset at the winery. ### Do I need riding experience? No previous riding experience is needed on any option. Guides give a short briefing on mounting, posture and basic signals before you set off on calm, well-trained horses. Nervous riders are common and guides are used to helping guests feel comfortable in the saddle. ### What if the weather is poor? Horseback rides need dry, calm conditions. Heavy rain, strong wind or storms may lead to cancellation with a full refund rather than unsafe riding. Contact details in your confirmation are the best way to check on the morning if you are unsure about the forecast. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/horse-vineyard-vesuvius-couple-1-scaled.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
