Tasting Campi Flegrei

Fried anchovies on the beach-Lido Turistico

Campi Flegrei aka the Phlegrean Fields has been my home for the last 30 years. How much do you know about this coastal area near Naples which houses the largest volcanic area in Europe?  

Besides offering some amazing archaeological sites, coastal lakes, beaches, thermal springs, and nature reserves, it also has some great spots to eat...and yes, drink wine. Here is my list of some not to miss spots.

Restaurants

From traditional cuisine to Michelin starred fine dining- the area is packed. It wasn't easy to choose, believe me.

 Wineries

Thanks to the vulcanic soil and their proximity to the ocean, the flavor and aromas of the wines of the area are unique.  Falanghina (white) and Piedirosso/Per'o palumm (red) are the top 2 varieties.  If looking to visit, I highly recommend to call in advance.
