Description:

Enjoy an unforgettable private tour from Rome, combining the authentic flavors of Tuscia with the breathtaking landscapes of Civita di Bagnoregio.

Your journey begins at Fattoria Madonna delle Macchie, where you will get to know the estate’s historic farmhouse, owned by the Belcapo family since the 1800s. Step back in time as you visit the ancient olive mill, and learn the art of creating high-quality extra virgin olive oil. Make your way to the ancient cellar, a small museum teeming with old equipment and implements, before going down into the wine maturation rooms underground, where Forcone Doc Tuscia wine is aged in oak barrels. The tour continues through the medieval tunnel of escape, finally reaching a lovely park with centuries-old oaks, including the imposing 400-year-old holm oak with a diameter of 320 cm.

Did you know?

Civita di Bagnoregio was founded by the Etruscans over 2,50 years ago and was a thriving town. Due to its poor volcanic rock foundation, erosion has slowly reduced its inhabitants, giving it the nickname “The Dying Town”. With tourism and restoration, however, this hidden treasure is still one of Italy’s most stunning destinations to explore.
