About this experience

True travelers are always driven by a desire to discover new places. This same curiosity inspires those who visit the birthplace of the famous Saint Francis of Assisi. It’s also the region where one of Italy’s finest wines, Sagrantino di Montefalco, is produced.
Ever-changing, untouched landscapes in the green of winding valleys make Umbria a region that will never fail to amaze. Umbria is also a region rich in art, history, culture and spirituality—characterized by an important cultural heritage.
Assisi is a town with religion very close to its heart. Visitors shouldn’t be surprised to see monks in long brown robes roaming the streets or bands of pilgrims walking the country roads surrounding the town.
Pilgrims have been coming to Assisi since the 13th century to venerate St. Francesco, who was born and buried here. But you don’t have to be religious to enjoy one of the best-preserved medieval towns in the world, which is also one of Italy’s most spell-binding gems.

Detailed itinerary

Pick you up from your accommodation in Florence by 6,45 am. Our driver will normally be at your address at 6,40 am. We will then drive to the first winery which will take approximately 2 hour and 15 minutes.

Immersed in the green heart of Italy, this winery is a jewel of tradition and innovation. Here, we bring to life wines that celebrate the land from which they originate.
The wine estate was established by selecting and acquiring some of the best vineyards that once belonged to an important winemaking family in Montefalco.
The uniqueness of the territory and its terroir, combined with environmentally respectful cultivation practices and rigorous hand harvesting, contribute to the company’s goal of achieving exceptional grape quality and, consequently, outstanding wines.
Respect for nature begins with tending the vines according to rigorous organic viticulture principles. This commitment extends through vinification and refinement in the cellar, all the way to packaging. Their approach to winemaking, combined with the application of state-of-the-art technologies, ensures the quality, longevity, and naturalness of the produced wines, enhancing their individual characteristics.

Over the last 135 years, generations of winemakers have poured energy and passion into this land, leaving a lasting mark on the territory. Montefalco and Sagrantino have become part of the DNA of this Winery.
Founded in 1884, the winery (from scacciare – to banish, and diavoli – devils) takes its name from an exorcist who lived in a town on the borders of the property and used the wine for his rituals.
the winery never stopped its production since 1884, the year 2000 marked the beginning of extensive renovations undertaken without altering the original building. These renovations preserved all the historical architectural structures while introducing new technologies and modern machinery.

Your guide for the day will drop you back to where you were picked up. Guides can drop clients back to other locations with prior notice.
