Umbria’s wine is led by Sagrantino di Montefalco, one of Italy’s most tannic and long-lived reds, grown only on the hills around Montefalco, with the crisp Orvieto white from the tufa cliffs and the softer Montefalco Rosso and Torgiano alongside.

How to choose
The winery and vineyard tour with private tasting in Montefalco is the most reviewed and costs little. For fun in the vineyards, book the jeep safari through the vineyards with tasting. In town, the wine tasting in the historic centre takes an hour; near Assisi, the wine, olive oil, cheese and salami tasting is the easy option.
Formats: Montefalco cellar visits with Sagrantino tastings; Orvieto winery and cliff-cellar tours; combined wine-and-truffle days; vineyard picnics and wine-and-lunch trips from Perugia or Assisi.
What you taste: Sagrantino di Montefalco (dry and the historic sweet passito), Montefalco Rosso, Grechetto whites, Orvieto Classico, and Torgiano Rosso Rubesco, with olive oil and local salumi.
Price: roughly 45 to 70 dollars for a winery tasting; 110 to 160 for a full day with two cellars, lunch and transport.
Sagrantino and Montefalco
Umbria’s great red is Sagrantino, grown only around the hill town of Montefalco from the thick-skinned grape of the same name. It has some of the highest tannins of any Italian wine, which is why it ages for decades, and it was historically made sweet as a passito from dried grapes to serve with the Easter table. Modern dry Sagrantino is the one to taste, with the softer, everyday Montefalco Rosso (Sangiovese-based) alongside. The cellars around Montefalco are the heart of a wine day.
Orvieto and the rest
The west of the region makes the famous Orvieto white, a Grechetto and Trebbiano blend, from vines above a town riddled with tufa cellars cut into the volcanic rock – some wineries let you taste underground. Torgiano, near Perugia, gave Umbria its first great modern estate and the Rubesco red; and Grechetto is the native white worth trying everywhere.
How to visit
Tours run from Perugia, Assisi and the hill towns, half or full day with a driver so you can taste across estates. Autumn, at and after harvest, is the finest time. Pair the wine with a truffle hunt – the classic Umbrian combination – or with the olive harvest.
