Orvieto & Wine Country Itinerary
Your day begins with hotel pick-up in Rome by your private driver. Leaving the city behind, you’ll travel north into the Umbrian countryside, where rolling hills, vineyards, and hilltop towns set the tone for a more relaxed pace of travel.
Orvieto: Hilltop Town, Cathedral & Underground City
Arrive in Orvieto and meet your private local guide, who will lead you through one of central Italy’s most striking hilltop towns.
Begin at Orvieto Cathedral, a standout example of Italian Gothic architecture. Your guide will explain the details of its façade and the significance of the frescoes inside, offering context that brings the artwork and history into focus.
Continue beneath the surface with a guided visit to Orvieto Underground. This network of caves and tunnels reveals how the city functioned across centuries, from Etruscan times to the medieval period. With expert guidance, you’ll understand how these hidden spaces were used for storage, water systems, and daily life.
Wine Estate Experience: Vineyard Visit & Lunch
Leaving the town, your driver will take you into the surrounding countryside for a vineyard experience.
At a boutique wine estate, you’ll enjoy a guided cellar tour and tasting of regional wines, learning about local production methods and grape varieties. This is paired with a relaxed lunch at the vineyard or nearby agriturismo, where seasonal dishes are served alongside the estate’s wines.
The setting provides a slower, more immersive contrast to the morning’s historical exploration.
Free Time in Orvieto
Enjoy a short period to explore Orvieto at your own pace. Your guide can recommend local shops, local viewpoints, or stop for a coffee before departing.
In the afternoon, your private driver will return you comfortably to Rome, concluding a day that balances culture, local insight, and the food and wine of the Umbrian countryside.
