Local vineyards welcome visitors with casual, intimate tastings that feel more like visiting friends than taking a formal tour.

I especially love the “Winemaker for a Day” programs, where you’ll learn traditional techniques while getting your hands dirty. Most tours cost €50-100 and include transportation from Assisi’s center. For Umbria’s most memorable wine experiences, check out these top vineyard tours.
