Winery Visit with Wine Tasting in Umbria 

Your post-cruise tour will begin with a leisurely drive from the cruise port to Umbria, an enchanting land of steep hills and deep valleys dotted with charming towns and villages. 

This unique terroir of sandy clay soil, limestone, and marine fossils from the prehistoric Pliocene epoch where vineyards grow contributes to Umbrian wines' vibrant taste, complexity, and structure.

Viticulture is a well-documented ancient tradition since the early Etruscans, the highly advanced pre-Roman civilization that thrived in this region once known as Etruria. 

The Etruscans introduced winemaking and grape cultivation, carving out primitive “wine cellars” into the tuffaceous rock for their wine production. Winemaking grew into a prosperous trade that continued to progress with the Romans and throughout Italy’s history thereafter.

You will journey along scenic country roads that wind around undulating fertile hills until you reach the hilltop wine estate, an oasis immersed in nature and surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, iconic cypress trees, and tranquil Umbrian and Tuscan landscapes that stretch into the horizon.

You will enjoy approximately 1.5 hours visiting the wine estate and gain an understanding of the traditional winemaking process from the grapes that grow in the winery’s vineyards where natural and sustainable agricultural practices are implemented.

Taste a sampling of the winery’s elegant wines accompanied by a small plate of local delicacies.  With each sip of wine, you can taste the history that culminates in the flavors of the winery’s bounty. Raise your glass and toast your unforgettable excursion to this winery magnificently located in the sublime heart of Umbria.

Before departing, browse the winery’s selection for those perfect bottles of wine for you or as treasured gifts to loved ones at home. 

• Winery fees are NOT included in our Tour Fee to offer flexibility for members of your party who are not able to partake in wine tasting. Wine Tasting and Winery Tour Fee is approximately 40 EUROS Per Person. Only guests at least 18 years of age participate in wine tasting.

After your winery visit, you will join your private driver for a 30-minute drive to Orvieto for a tasty lunch and sightseeing on your own. 

Visit Orvieto for Lunch and Sightseeing

 
Strategically located on a large butte of volcanic tuff since ancient times, Orvieto overlooks the surrounding Umbrian countryside comprised of a verdant patchwork of vineyards, olive orchards, and dense forests.

While in Orvieto, relish free time on your own to enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant of your own choosing, and stroll along pedestrian-friendly streets lined with enticing gastronomic boutiques and inviting shops that sell stunning hand-crafted and hand-painted ceramics with beautiful designs that are unique to Orvieto. You also have the option to visit local wine shops (enoteche) and discover a wider variety of local wines for additional wine tasting and purchases.

Gaze in reverence at the resplendent late 13th-century Gothic Cathedral of Orvieto, dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin. It took nearly 30 years to plan and 300 years to achieve the cathedral’s current splendor. The cathedral’s intricate seven-story facade is richly adorned with dark green and white marble, enhanced with niches that frame life-size sculpted figures, and bejeweled with vibrant mosaics that shimmer in the sun’s afternoon light.

After lunch and sightseeing in Orvieto, you will meet your driver at approximately 3:30 PM to journey to your hotel in Rome.  Relax in your comfortable private deluxe vehicle committing to memory the wonderful sights and flavors you enjoyed on your unforgettable post-cruise wine-tasting tour to Orvieto, Umbria.
