Embark on a journey through the heart of Umbria and Tuscia, where breathtaking landscapes, ancient towns, and rich flavors come together for an unforgettable experience designed entirely around you. This tailor-made tour begins in Orvieto, a stunning hilltop city known for its magnificent Gothic cathedral and medieval charm. Stroll through its cobblestone streets, explore artisan shops, and discover traditional delicacies that tell the story of this land’s rich culinary heritage.
The adventure continues to the iconic Civita di Bagnoregio, the "dying city" suspended in time atop a crumbling cliff. As you cross the scenic pedestrian bridge, you’ll be transported into another world. Enjoy spectacular views and savor local specialties — freshly baked focaccia, artisanal cured meats, and aged cheeses — perfectly paired with a glass of Orvieto Classico, the region’s most renowned white wine.
Your journey leads next to Castiglione in Teverina, a hidden gem nestled among rolling vineyards and ancient olive groves. Visit the MOVIS Wine Museum, where centuries of winemaking tradition come to life. From ancient tools to captivating stories, you’ll gain a deep appreciation for the land’s enduring bond with its wines.
The day culminates in a private visit to a family-run organic winery, where passion, tradition, and respect for nature shape every bottle. Stroll through the vines, witness sustainable winemaking in action, and indulge in an exclusive tasting of elegant organic wines — from crisp whites to full-bodied reds — paired with fragrant extra virgin olive oil, local bread, pecorino cheese, and seasonal specialties bursting with authentic flavors.
For those seeking a deeper connection with the landscape, it is possible to enrich your experience with a guided e-bike tour through the scenic countryside or an extended olive oil tasting experience to uncover the secrets of this precious liquid gold — pricing for these additions is available upon request.
