Overview
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.

A day to remember!
inesgarzaeb, Dec 2022
It was an AMAZING day. Ángel introduced us to many great wines and food. He has a lot of knowledge of the region and told us many many interesting stories about the people, the land and of course, THE WINE! At the end of the day, he took us to a beautiful restaurant and had the most delicious cheese and pasta. I can't recommend it enough! Thank you so much Ángel for a day I will forever cherish and remember.

We took this wine tour as part of our honeymoon and could not have been happier with it! Angel was our tour guide, and he was the most knowledgeable and personable guide we have ever had on a tour! He really went above and beyond in choosing the vineyards, describing how the wines we would be tasting would differ and planning perhaps the best lunch we had while in Italy! If we go back to Italy, we will be taking another tour through Enotropea Tours and hopefully we get Angel as our guide!

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback! We are happy you enjoyed your time with us, accompanied by Angel. He sends his best regards.
Itinerary
Florence
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.
2 hoursMontefalco
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.
3 hoursMontefalco
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.
