  • Reviewer: BE, Umbria Wine Tour, July 2009 located in USA
    "The food, the sites, and of course the wine were all amazing. I have already given out your cards and raved about the personal attention that went into our trip and how each day exceeded the one before it. We can't thank you enough for an experience that we will never forget. The wine, food, and culture wouldn't have stood out as much without you explaining it all to us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you again for one of the most wonderful experiences of our lives."

    "Bravo for making our trip to Spoleto one of the most fantastic experiences we have ever had, including our hotel stay and the truffle hunt everything was faultless. Your fervor for Spoleto was truly felt by us; and your knowledge of the area was incredible. Our truffle hunt was truly once in a life time experience everyone should have. Thank you for making our 40th anniversary one we will treasure forever."

More Information on the Montefalco Sagrantino Wine Tour

On this tour we will travel through the vineyards near Montefalco, visiting the wineries where the local Sagrantino wine is produced, sampling and comparing the wines from different producers. We will also discover the centuries-old history of the Sagrantino grape.

The Montefalco area (which is within easy reach of Perugia, Assisi, Spoleto and Todi) produces the excellent Sagrantino di Montefalco, one of only two Umbrian wines to be awarded the prestigious DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita –the highest Italian wine appellation) in both secco and passito (sweet dessert wine) forms, the Rosso di Montefalco DOC (produced from a combination of Sangiovese, Sagrantino and Merlot grapes) as well as Grechetto and a number of other wines.
