Tour Phlegraios at Astroni Winery in Campi Flegrei, between Naples and Pozzuoli

The Astroni Winery is located on the outer slopes of the Astroni crater, between Naples and Pozzuoli. Once the Bourbon family's private hunting grounds, today this unique landscape forms part of the WWF Italy Nature Reserve, where volcanic soils and centuries of history create the ideal environment for producing wines that truly express the Campi Flegrei terroir.

If you've just explored the lively streets of Naples, in only 10–15 minutes you'll find yourself immersed in nature, surrounded by vineyards and spectacular volcanic scenery.

Accompanied by a qualified member of the hospitality team, you'll begin with a visit to the vineyard, located on the slopes of one of the approximately 70 volcanic craters of the Campi Flegrei. Here you'll discover the area's unique geology and how volcanic soils influence the wines, while enjoying panoramic views of Mount Vesuvius, the Sorrento Peninsula, and Capri. The vineyard is reached via a steep stepped path due to the crater's natural terrain, although during periods of extreme heat guests may request to be driven there by car.

The tour continues through the underground winery, where you'll follow the grape's journey from vine to bottle and learn why Cantine Astroni vinifies both white and red wines exclusively in stainless steel to preserve freshness and varietal character. You'll also visit the former barrel cellar, now transformed into the evocative Wine Library, displaying historic vintages, amphorae, original labels, and artwork created by a Neapolitan artist. Whenever production allows, you'll also visit the bottling area; during bottling operations or harvest, access may be limited for safety reasons and the itinerary may vary slightly.

The experience concludes in the tasting room with a guided tasting of three wines:

Astro – Spumante di Falanghina Campi Flegrei DOC

Colle Imperatrice – Campi Flegrei Falanghina DOC

Colle Rotondella – Campi Flegrei Piedirosso DOC

The tasting is presented in an approachable way, focusing on the story of each wine and its connection to the territory. Guests seeking a more technical tasting with professional terminology and technical sheets can simply request it in the booking notes.

The wines are paired with seasonal specialties from the Avellino area, which may include Bagnolese Pecorino, caciotta, fresh mozzarella, aged pecorino (12–24 months), pancetta, capocollo, salami, seasonal vegetables from the estate's garden such as zucchini, tomatoes, and eggplants. The selection varies according to seasonality and availability.
