From 21 to 24 September 2026, the Vesuvian area took centre stage with the Vesuvio Wines Experience Tour, a journey designed to explore the tangible and intangible heritage of Mount Vesuvius while promoting its protected wine denominations. An experience created to reveal the authentic character of a territory where wine, history, culture and landscape are deeply intertwined.

The initiative welcomed a group of opinion leaders from different regions of Italy and several European countries, taking them on a series of specially designed thematic itineraries offering first-hand insight into the Vesuvian territory.

Throughout the four-day programme, visits to places of historical, cultural, architectural and scenic interest were combined with wine-focused experiences, creating a narrative that connected the distinctive characteristics of Vesuvian wines with the places where they originate.

Wine thus became a key to understanding the territory: an expression of a unique environment and, at the same time, a meeting point between landscape, traditions, local produce and culture.

Among the highlights of the programme, two masterclass sessions offered guests the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of the protected denominations and discover the different expressions of Vesuvian viticulture.

Another significant moment was the convivial dinner held on 23 September at Ristorante ’E Curti in Sant’Anastasia, conceived as an opportunity for guests to meet and engage directly with the Vesuvio DOP producers taking part in the initiative. It was an occasion in which the story of the territory moved from the wine glass to the dining table, encouraging dialogue with those who preserve and interpret Vesuvian winemaking traditions every day.

The Vesuvio Wines Experience Tour therefore offered an opportunity to promote the protected denominations through an experiential approach: understanding the wines also means discovering the places, people and cultural heritage that shape their identity.

A journey into the authentic character of Mount Vesuvius, where every glass becomes a story of territory, wine, history and culture.

The initiative was organised as part of the “VESUVIO WINES” project, dedicated to the promotion of quality products.

The third edition of Campania Wine concluded today, 7 September. Over two days, the event brought producers, Consortia for the Protection of Wines, industry professionals, buyers, journalists and wine enthusiasts to the heart of Naples, with the aim of promoting and raising awareness of the region’s winemaking heritage.

The Consorzio Tutela Vini Vesuvio also took part in the event alongside the other Consortia for the Protection of Wines of Campania, contributing to a shared narrative that showcased the richness and biodiversity of the region’s viticulture.

The Galleria Umberto I in Naples hosted the major Walk Around Wine Tasting, featuring more than 120 Campania producers and over 500 DOC and IGT wines available for tasting. A journey through different territories, grape varieties and denominations, in which the wines of Vesuvius expressed the identity of a viticulture deeply rooted in its volcanic terroir and in the work of the wineries that interpret and preserve it every day.

From the opening ceremony to meetings with producers and visitors, the two days featured tastings, in-depth sessions and opportunities for discussion, giving the public the chance to discover the many different expressions of Campania’s wine landscape.

Alongside the exhibition spaces at the Galleria Umberto I, the programme also featured Masterclasses at MUSAP – Museo Artistico Politecnico di Napoli, offering an in-depth exploration of Campania’s wines through guided tastings, territories and denominations.

Among the highlights of the event were also sessions dedicated to the pairing of wine and gastronomy, with show cooking events that further enriched the narrative surrounding the region’s products and food and wine culture.

Participation in Campania Wine represents another opportunity for the Consorzio Tutela Vini Vesuvio to promote the territory’s denominations and showcase Vesuvius’ winemaking heritage within a broader, shared vision.
