Highlights
-
Bartolomei Frantoio & Museo dell’Olio - Let’s go and visit this old oil mill, and after the oil museum we will see how an excellent oil is produced. Then we will start the tasting of excellent extra virgin olive oils, both blend and monoculture, accompanied by bruschetta and olive patè. All accompanied by locally produced wines.
A unique experience of its kind -
Tenuta di Salviano - We begin with a visit to the ancient cellars in the basement of the Castle which dates back to before the year 1000, built by the noble French family of MonteMarte, then purchased by the Corsini princes and now owned by the Marquises Incisa della Rocchetta.
After the tour of the cellar we take a seat in an ancient room for the tasting of the excellent wines produced here. An expert will guide us in the visit and then in the tasting, in this way we will be able to fully appreciate the wines together with the bruschetta with cold cuts and cheeses that perfectly accompany this food and wine experience - Civitella del Lago - A panorama of extraordinary beauty, which from the Amerini Mountains dominates Lake Corbara.

Great way to see the area surrounding Orvieto! - Paulo and Luigi led us on a great ride through the hills and country roads north of Orvieto. They went out of their way to make our group of 5 enjoyed this excellent experience. First time on an E Bike and 3 days later I we were on another in the hills above Florence. Great for all levels of riders and you learn to appreciate the battery!
Thank you Paulo and Luigi!
