Gusto offers daily, guided wine tours of the Montefalco area cantinas at only €125 per person. Our specialty is small and ‘non-touristy’.

WE will be visiting 3-4 hidden-gem cantinas of Umbria in the course of your day. We’ll visit 2 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon. In the middle will be a truly memorable authentic Umbrian lunch served in a local trattoria, agriturismo or at one of the cantinas. We will meet the winemakers and not only taste the incredible and unique Sagrantino di Montefalco, a DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) wine made nowhere else in the world, but we’ll also be able to sample the winemakers’ individual versions of the Montefalco Rosso, a DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) wine where 15% of the wine is Sagrantino with the rest made up of different grape varieties. We will try some of the white wines like the Trebbiano Spoletino, again, grown only in this area. Plus, the fabulous Passito, the dessert wine of Italy, both reds and whites.

With all these tastings, we will be offered nibbles to eat with the wine, the only way to properly appreciate and bring out their full flavours.

We have found some lovely places for us to eat our full Umbrian lunch. We had to try each one, a terrible job, but it just had to be done...

Depending on the time of year, we could get to see the wine-picking and crushing or the bottling process, you might even be lucky enough to arrive on the one day of Cantine Aperte – the last Sunday of May.
