Escape into the heart of Umbria on a small-group wine tour through Montefalco and Bevagna, where rolling hills, medieval villages, and endless vineyards set the stage for a day of indulgence. Known as the “land of Sagrantino,” this region is Italy at its most authentic—slow rhythms, passionate winemakers, and flavors that stay with you long after the last sip. You’ll visit two family-run wineries, walking among the vines and cellars as the owners share their stories and pour their signature wines, from bold Sagrantino DOCG to elegant Montefalco Rosso. Between tastings, sit down for a scenic winery lunch of seasonal Umbrian dishes—farm-to-table recipes paired with organic wine, served with views across the valley. With small groups (max 8 travelers) and pickup available on request, this experience combines the comfort of a guided tour with the intimacy of a day spent as a guest, not a tourist. It’s more than a tasting—it’s a journey into Umbria’s soul. ⸻
