Ercolano – A Saturday evening dedicated to excellent food and wine, great music, and social commitment will take place on October 11th (from 18:00 PM to 1:00 AM) at Villa Campolieto, an architectural gem on the slopes of Vesuvius. The event, titled "Aperitivo a Campolieto," promises a sensory experience ranging from volcanic flavors to jazz, while also offering an opportunity for inclusion.
Vesuvian Wines and "Blind Tasting" with the Experts
The evening's star will be the rich selection of wines from Vesuvian wineries. Participants will have the opportunity to taste labels from renowned producers such as Bosco De' Medici, Cantina Tizzano, Cantine Olivella, and many other local excellences.
Not just wine: a corner will be entirely dedicated to Vesuvian gin, presenting important spirits such as Vesuvius and Gin 1861.
Making the experience even more engaging is the "blind tasting" experience: the wines will be savored blindfolded, relying solely on touch, smell, and taste, all guided by expert Luca Boccoli and accompanied by background music designed to heighten the senses.
Nick The Nightfly and DJ set under the stars
The atmosphere of the eighteenth-century villa will be enveloped by the refined sounds of Nick The Nightfly 5tet.

Inclusion and flavors: the cooperative buffet
The initiative embraces an important solidarity and social inclusion project. Thanks to the partnership with the cooperative "Un fiore per la vita," the scheduled buffet will be prepared by young people with disabilities. This concrete initiative offers them a moment of prominence and is part of an entertainment program designed to engage everyone in a spirit of social responsibility.
History at the Table: The "From Eggs to Apples" Exhibition
In addition to the fun and fine dining, the event offers a unique cultural enrichment. Participants will be able to visit the exhibition "From Eggs to Apples." This exhibition on the food culture of ancient Rome is enriched by artifacts from the Herculaneum excavations and culminates in an immersive 3D experience, offering a fascinating journey through the culinary history and eating habits of our ancestors.
The event will be complemented by food and wine and artisan stands offering traditional products and high-quality local creations. This event at Villa Campolieto is therefore an unmissable combination of culture, flavor, music, and civic engagement.

The event looks very interesting, but I'm not sure if I'll go because I have other commitments. The combination of wine and jazz music is unique, but the information is confusing for non-locals; more details are needed.
