2-Hour Fish and Gin Guided Tasting with Lunch in Pompeii

A journey into the sea stolen from Vesuvius, told as a secret message enclosed in a precious bottle. We offer a tasting of sea products accompanied by fine gins, which recall the flavors of the waters. We are in Pompeii, a few steps from the archaeological remains of the ancient city. Before the volcanic eruptions, the sea surrounded Pompeii, which could also count on a commercial port. The ancient inhabitants of the city were particularly fond of fish-based dishes, a poor dish from a land overlooking the sea. A short distance from Pompeii, a few centuries later, the first experiments related to gin took place. In Salerno, at the ancient Medical School of Salerno, the origins of gin are in fact linked, born as a drink useful for transmitting the medical properties of juniper.
