Montefalco Wine Tour with Farm Lunch: 2 Wineries

Walk the vineyards, taste directly with the winemakers, then sit down to lunch overlooking the valley.

A small-group wine tour through Montefalco and Bevagna visits two family-run wineries where you walk the vineyards, explore the cellars, and taste Sagrantino and Montefalco Rosso directly with the producers. Between tastings, you sit down for a farm-to-table lunch featuring homemade Umbrian dishes paired with organic wines in a scenic countryside setting. Groups stay under eight guests, and the day runs about six hours with pickup from the Assisi or Perugia area.

The experience

How do you actually taste wine the way locals do? You start by driving through the rolling Umbrian countryside (vineyards and olive groves passing the windows), and arriving at a family-run winery in the Bevagna hills. There you walk through the vineyards themselves, then down into the cellars, and taste the wines directly with the people who made them. Sagrantino and Montefalco Rosso are the local varieties, and tasting them here, in the place they come from, is different from tasting them anywhere else. The guide walks you through what you're drinking, but the winemakers are the ones pouring.

After the first winery, you move to a second boutique operation in the Montefalco hills (this one combines traditional methods with modern technique), and here the day shifts. Instead of standing at a tasting bar, you sit down for lunch. The food is homemade: seasonal Umbrian dishes prepared in the winery kitchen, plated in front of you, paired with organic wines from the region. The table sits overlooking the valley. This is not a rushed meal between stops. It's the anchor of the day, a slow moment to eat, drink, and let the landscape settle.

The group stays small, never more than eight, which means the winemakers have time to talk, the tastings don't feel crowded, and the lunch table doesn't turn into a service line. You're picked up from your accommodation in the Assisi or Perugia area in the morning and returned in the early afternoon, with the drive itself part of the rhythm of the day. The whole experience runs about six hours.

Is this one for you?Book this tour if you want to taste wine directly with the people who make it, rather than at a tasting bar or a commercial venue. The small group size and the farm lunch are what make the day feel unhurried and personal. You're not moving quickly between stops, but sitting down to eat in the place where the wine is made.
