Umbria and Tuscia, regions in central Italy stretching north from Rome, offer a diverse canvas of rugged hills, ancient villages, and deep-rooted culinary tradition. Once in Rome’s “Flavors and Landscapes of Umbria and Tuscia” is a tailor-made 9-hour immersion that folds history, nature, and taste into a seamless adventure. The journey begins in Orvieto, a medieval hilltown famed for its striking Gothic cathedral, the Duomo di Orvieto. Walking its narrow lanes, visitors encounter artisan workshops and sample local specialties that speak to centuries of Umbrian craftsmanship and gastronomy. Next is Civita di Bagnoregio, often called the “dying city” due to gradual erosion, perched atop a fragile tuff cliff. Crossing the pedestrian bridge into this almost otherworldly village reveals panoramic views and the chance to sample classic regional flavors of focaccia, aged cheeses, and cured meats paired with Orvieto Classico white wine—a sensory dive into local terroir.

The tour proceeds to Castiglione in Teverina, tucked amid vineyards and olive groves. Here, the MOVIS Wine Museum offers a tangible connection to the region’s viticultural heritage through ancient tools and compelling stories. The day culminates with a private visit to a family-run organic winery, where sustainability and tradition drive every bottle. Guests stroll sprawling vineyards, see sustainable practices firsthand, and savor exclusive tastings of elegant whites and reds matched with freshly pressed extra virgin olive oil and pecorino cheese.

Designed for customization, Once in Rome can extend the experience with guided e-bike rides through the Umbrian countryside or specialized olive oil tastings. This isn’t just a tour—it’s a rooted encounter with the landscapes and flavors that define Umbria and Tuscia. A rare opportunity to access hidden corners of Italian heritage while indulging the palate, crafted with personal attention to every detail.
