Your Post Cruise Wine Tour from Civitavecchia begins with a leisurely drive from the cruise port into the heart of Umbria, traveling along scenic windy country roads that weave through the Umbrian countryside defined by its sandy clay soil, limestone, marine fossils, and seashells from the prehistoric Pliocene era when millions of years ago this land was submerged under the sea. This unique local terroir lends the wines their vibrant taste, complexity, and structure.
This fine region of Umbria is renowned for its exquisite wines since the ancient Etruscans: the highly advanced pre-Roman civilization that thrived in this region from the 8th century BCE to the 3rd-2nd centuries BCE. The Etruscans introduced winemaking, vine grafting, and grape cultivation which grew into a flourishing trade. Primitive “wine cellars” were carved into the tuffaceous rock for their wine production which became part of the Etruscan viticulture history.
Your countryside journey will take you to the tranquil hilltop winery estate surrounded by rows of vineyards, olive orchards, and enthralling Umbrian and Tuscan landscapes. This remarkable winery is an ideal oasis far away from civilization and very close to nature.
Revel in a 1.5-hour visit at this certified organic winery where you will learn from the family of winemakers the traditional process of winemaking and sample a selection of 3 locally produced wines paired with locally sourced charcuterie and organic extra virgin olive oil.
With every sip of wine, you can taste the history that culminates in the flavors of these authentic local wines. Raise a glass to your unforgettable sojourn to this winery perfectly set in the idyllic Umbrian hills.
Before departing, don’t miss the opportunity to browse the variety of wines for the perfect bottle of wine or olive oil for you, or as a gift for your wine-loving friends and family back home.
At the conclusion of your winery visit, your driver will take you on a 30-minute drive along scenic windy country roads to Orvieto where you will enjoy free time for lunch and sightseeing.
Situated on the summit of large volcanic tufa rock, Orvieto overlooks the verdant Umbrian countryside comprised of a patchwork of vineyards, olive orchards, and dense forests.
Orvieto is an ancient town with beautifully well-preserved medieval buildings and wide pedestrian-friendly streets lined with inviting shops that sell unique hand-painted ceramics, gastronomic boutiques, cafes, and restaurants.
Behold the magnificent late 13th-century Gothic Cathedral of Orvieto dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin. It took 30 years to plan and 300 years to achieve the cathedral’s current splendor. The seven-story facade is adorned with fine decorations with dark green and white marble strips and carvings, niches that frame life-size sculpted figures, and colorful mosaics that glimmer in the afternoon golden sunlight.
Following a tasty lunch and leisurely sightseeing, you will meet your driver at approximately 4:00 PM for a relaxing drive to Rome reminiscing the exquisite sights and delicious flavors you enjoyed on your exceptional post-cruise wine tour from Civitavecchia. The estimated arrival time back in Rome will be at approximately 5:45 PM.
