Italian wine history goes back centuries, when the Greeks first planted vines over 2000 years ago, in the southern region.

The region of Campania was christened Campania Felix meaning fertile land. Grapes have been grown in the rich, fertile soil of Campania since ancient times, and one of the delights of exploring this region is the opportunity to discover the exclusive varieties of wine produced in this area. Enjoy locally made wines during your time on shore, especially since they pair exquisitely with the delicious cuisine of Campania.

Special mention is given to Aglianico, a unique variety of grape grown exclusively in Campania which produces two of the region’s most famous and respected red wines: “Taurasi” and “Aglianico del Taburno”.

What to Expect During Your Wine Excursion from Naples

Ignite the wanderlust as well as the “wine-derlust” in you as you spend a day on shore. Once you step off your cruise ship at the Naples port, our English-speaking chauffeur will greet you and take you on an amazing wine trail.

You will be visiting two famous and most important wineries that are jewels in the crown of Campania.

Mastroberardino, a family run winery since the 18th century, is one of the leading wineries in Italy in terms of production, market impact, and innovation. The hard work, passion and dedication by the Mastroberardino family to wine making is largely responsible for the viticulture success of Campania’s Irpinia area. The vineyard produces over 2.4 million bottles annually.

Your chauffeur will also take you to the relatively newer winery, Feudi di San Gregorio. Founded by the husband-and-wife team, Enzo Ercolino and Mirella Capaldo in 1986, it has the distinguished reputation as one of Campania’s most exciting and dynamic wineries. This winemaking enterprise is known for their focus on innovation and keen eye for quality. The first wine was produced as recently as 1991 and today, over three million bottles a year roll out of their cellars!

Sit back and enjoy exuberant flavors of an authentic Italian meal made with local ingredients at one of the wineries. Take some bottles of fine wine back with you to enjoy on your cruise as you sail on the beautiful waters of the Mediterranean!
