Gourmet Christmas in Naples: Food, History, and Friendship
Celebrate Christmas in the Culinary Heart of Italy
On the final day of our Luxaviation & La Fugue Christmas Advent Calendar, we invite you and your friends to experience a gourmet journey through the vibrant streets of Naples. Known as the birthplace of pizza and a treasure trove of rich culinary traditions, Naples offers an unparalleled holiday experience where food, history, and camaraderie come together for a festive celebration.
Master the Art of Neapolitan Pizza
Immerse yourself in the essence of Naples by stepping into a traditional pizzeria to become a pizzaiolo for the day. Learn the time-honoured techniques of crafting the perfect dough, layering fresh tomato sauce, and achieving the quintessential char on a wood-fired pizza. Under the guidance of skilled artisans, this interactive experience will create lasting memories and stories to share.
Historical Wonders and Timeless Heritage
Venture into the past with a visit to the ancient ruins of Pompeii and the looming Mount Vesuvius, a powerful reminder of nature’s grandeur. Explore the mystical depths of the Catacombs of San Gennaro, where centuries of history are etched into stone, or admire the architectural magnificence of Palazzo Reale and Castel Sant’Elmo, both offering panoramic views of the city. Indulge your artistic sensibilities at the Capodimonte Museum, home to masterpieces by Caravaggio and Raphael, or enjoy a world-class performance at the historic San Carlo Theatre.
Stroll, Savour, and Sip in Style
Walk along Via dei Tribunali, where each step unveils a different aroma and flavour, from freshly baked sfogliatelle to warm taralli. Experience the lively buzz of Galleria Umberto I, a 19th-century marvel perfect for leisurely shopping and people-watching. No visit to Naples is complete without sampling local delights such as frittate di pasta and creamy gelato, or indulging in a glass of chilled limoncello from a nearby factory.
Wine Tasting in the Scenic Phlegrean Fields
Gather your friends for an exclusive wine tasting tour in the vineyards surrounding Naples, nestled in the picturesque Phlegrean Fields.
