From Rome to Orvieto with Wine & Food Tasting at Madonna Del Latte
Discover a Medieval Hilltop Gem with Wine & History
Description:
Leave the city behind and spend a memorable day in one of Umbria’s most charming hill towns — Orvieto.
Perched on a dramatic volcanic rock and surrounded by rolling vineyards, Orvieto offers a perfect mix of history, art, and local flavours. On this private day tour, you’ll travel comfortably from Rome and explore the highlights of this fascinating town with a local guide by your side.
We’ll start with a visit to the magnificent Orvieto Cathedral, a masterpiece of Italian Gothic architecture, famous for its golden mosaics and the extraordinary frescoes by Luca Signorelli. You’ll also have the chance to explore the mysterious Underground Orvieto, a hidden world of tunnels, caves, and ancient secrets carved into the tufa rock.
After a cultural deep dive, it’s time to savour the local flavours. You’ll enjoy a guided wine tasting in a historic wine cellar, featuring Orvieto Classico DOC and other regional varieties, paired with local delicacies like cured meats, cheeses, and bruschetta with Umbrian olive oil.
There will also be time to stroll through the charming alleys, browse artisan shops, or simply relax with a coffee overlooking the stunning Umbrian countryside.
This tour is perfect for travellers looking to experience authentic Italian culture, slow travel, and hidden gems — all within a day.
Why to book this tour:
Because it combines the best of Umbria in just one day — stunning medieval architecture, underground wonders, breathtaking views, and authentic local wine — all with the comfort of a private experience from Rome.
