It closes with the meditation wine par excellence: Sagrantino DOC Passito with the inevitable Tozzetti di Carolina

Fantastic experience! We visited Montefalco for a week and visited several wineries in the area big and small. This is by far the best the hospitality we have seen in a long time it is unique and very special and although they are a small family producer this only adds to its charm! Their wines are all fantastic, the wines are paired with local meats and cheese which again are all amazing. If this is the only tour you have time for then this is the best. Other reviews say it was hard to find but use google maps and it’s easy. This is the first review I have ever felt a must to do it is that special!

We had a wonderful day our exploring the Bevagna area, villages, farmlands and wine tasting! Daniele is very friendly and welcoming, he is a natural host and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great day out exploring. The cycle route was a lovely mix of charming towns and countryside and farmlands, with only 2 mild hills - it is 95% flat. We stopped at a bio-organic wine farm and were treated to a very generous food tasting, cheeses, cured meats, and very generous wine tastings! Very much recommend this if you want to get out and enjoy the scenery and countryside on an easy cycle route with a friendly guide and good food and wine!

First of all , thanks for successfully shipping your wines over for the Virtual tasting , we received the bottles within 10 days of shipment no problem at all - all arrived safe and sound. The virtual wine tasting was a joy and it was so nice to see and speak to you once again . It was fantastic just to sit back and enjoy the wines whilst we heard all about the making of them . We then proceeded to have a Geography , History and Philosophy discussion with your good self as you spoke about all your travels to America , your family heritage and your stories about organic farming and products - do you remember the discussion around “ Corn” manufacture in America. I say all of this because a Wine tasting tour with the Tili family is so much more than just a wine tour - you discuss so many things , your English is fantastico and your enthusiasm for your wine products and your family life in general is a wonder and a joy. Without any hesitation , to all you wine enthusiasts out there , book a virtual wine tasting tour now !

Alessandra and Leonardo were wonderful hosts! My family and I learned all about Umbrian cuisine and tasted some amazing legumes and wine. We made our own flatbread and learned all about the life cycle of the olive tree and how olives are harvested and turned into olive oil. Alessandra and Leonardo also recommended a place where we could order delicious high-quality olive oil from a small Umbrian olive grove. I highly recommend this tour and would love to do it again!
