L' Oste D' Arberia

The family project of L'Oste d'Arberia was born in a building dating back to 1919. A place open to lovers of wine and good food, where there is a perfect blend of old and new.
L'Oste d'Arberia is the result of the long experience in the field of sommellerie and also catering of Francesco, who together with his family has created the place to experience the culture of Arberia, a geographical expression that identifies the Italo-Albanian community. The menu offers a decisive juxtaposition of tradition and innovation, a fusion of 'simple' and 'revisited' cuisine, always choosing organic products and local excellence. One part of the building houses the wine cellar, where a careful selection of wines representing the local, regional and top national labels can be found.
In addition, the small rooms will be able to accommodate artists who wish to exhibit their works. And the small garden offers the opportunity to experience conviviality in contact with nature.

La Cantina del Vesuvio

The Cantina del Vesuvio is located in the Vesuvius National Park, in the municipality of Trecase. Given its location, it is the ideal stop for a break between the visit to the excavations of Pompeii, Herculaneum or Oplonti and the ascent to the crater of Vesuvius.

The history of the La Cantina del Vesuvio winery began in 1930, when Giovanni Russo decided to found a small winery in Trecase, on the slopes of Vesuvius, a particularly fertile area suitable for growing vines.

Soon, Giovanni's son Maurizio joined the company. He began helping his father in his business by starting out as a labourer, until about the time, Maurizio matured the decision to further improve the quality of the products by limiting, as a consequence, the distribution and selling the wine only directly on site. Together with this decision, he decided to open the winery to guided tours for tourists and visitors.

The company is one of the first in southern Italy to host tourists by offering tastings and guided tours in a magical place between the sea and the fire, making it one of the most visited wineries in the area.

One of the company's flagship products is the white, red and rosé Lacryma Christi DOC wine: this is a wine made from the indigenous grapes of Vesuvius, already known in Roman times (the first evidence of grape cultivation on Vesuvius dates back, in fact, to the 5th century BC). Lacryma Christi DOC is a highly appreciated wine and represents a highly identifiable excellence that is profoundly linked to the lava nature of the territory: the roots of the vines, in fact, sink into a dark and porous soil that does not need to be watered as it retains moisture and then releases it.

Visiting the company is a true immersive experience that brings you closer to the territory: after visiting the cellars and learning about all the production methods, it will be possible to taste the wines, paired with typical Vesuvian specialities.

La Rondinella - Osteria Pop

La rondinella - Osteria Pop is located at the foot of Scalea's historical centre and was established about 30 years ago, thanks to Anna and Ciriaco's passion for cooking and country life.
