Orvieto [orˈvjɛːto] is a city and comune in the Province of Terni, southwestern Umbria, Italy situated on the flat summit of a large butte of volcanic tuff. The city rises dramatically above the almost-vertical faces of tuff cliffs that are completed by defensive walls built of the same stone called Tufa.

Decugnano dei Barbi

For over eight centuries "Decugnano" has been used to indicate the name of the land of the estate. The soil rich in fossils, oysters and shells, the micro climate and a wide temperature range are all factors particularly suitable for wine growing. Beside a very modern cellar, the visitor has the possibility to admire the Etruscan caves, today utilized for the production of the sparkling wine "spumante" and to mature certain wines in barrels. Within spectacular scenery, the Estate organizes guided tours to their cellars followed by wine tasting and local delicacies. WE ARE OPEN! Saturday & Sunday

Two couples (from well-regarded wine areas in California and Oregon) treated ourselves to the best winery tour and tasting/pairing we’ve experienced. Maurizio was our superb host and guide on a crisp, clear morning visit in late December. We arrived a few minutes late because our GPS tried to steer us the long/wrong way from Todi through Orvieto. If you’re heading there from the south, make sure your GPS is not confused. Maurizio knows his wines, and he proudly shares his devotion to Umbria. We’ve never encountered a place with an 800-year association to wine-making. It’s a perfect way to learn about crafting fine Umbrian wines, blended with history, culture, and spectacular scenery.

Madonna del Latte

The ancient estate of Madonna del Latte is located in the hills between Orvieto and Lake Bolsena. Today it is a small family-owned winery founded in 2000. The vines flourish on the slopes of rich, sandy volcanic soil at an altitude of 450 meters.

We had a wonderful time at Madonna del Latte. One of the top wine tastings we have ever experienced. It's hard to say what was more powerful, the excellent wines, the beautiful setting, or the exceptional hospitality from Leon and Ruta.

Tenuta Le Velette

Reviewed By TwoSheds57 - Melbourne, Australia

We stayed with friends at Il Due on the property here.  It would be hard to praise the location, atmosphere and hospitality too much.  The whole thing is idyllic.  Corrado and Simonetta are wonderful hosts. Corrado runs the winery with around 500 acres under vine.  The business has been in his family for around 150 years.  They've created terrific accommodation among the vineyard with a startlingly clear view across to the old city of Orvieto highlighted by the famous duomo.  This is a wonderful area.  Wine has been produced been on this property since Etruscan times, that is from around 500BC.  The original Etruscan cave cellars used for storing wine are still beautifully intact and in use.  You'll see them and taste the beautiful wines if you are smart enough to go on the winery tour run by Corrado's sister Cecilia who is a tour guide for Rick Steves's touring company.  The wine tour is a lot of fun.  Do it if you can. (We met some lovely American people from Seattle and Denver on our tour.  Really nice people.) The Orvieto area has all the great charms of Italy - the history, the sights, the people, the food, the wine etc - but without the outrageous bustling crowds and higher costs of the more popular areas.  You have everything here that you need for a wonderfully relaxing holiday.  You're staying in a vineyard with superb wines on tap. There's great food and wine and great sights all around you. The accommodation is wonderfully quiet and tucked away.  It's very much a home away from home and ideal for couples or families.  The bedrooms and bathrooms are a good size and have everything you need.  The kitchen is nicely appointed. You can cook here every night if you wish. There's a Weber kettle BBQ cooker outside and a wonderful alfresco dining area that we used heavily during our stay.   This was an exceptional holiday. Corrado and Simonetta have created something very special here.  It was a privilege to stay here. We will definitely try and return one day and strongly recommend the experience to others.

Cantine Neri

Dates back to the beginning of 1950 the acquisition of the land where today Enrico Neri’s winery sits. We are in Bardano, on the outskirts of Orvieto, a town perched on a volcanic rock dedicated to the viticulture tradition since Etruscan times. This is the story of a family’s passion and their dedication to an ancient practise considered one of the oldest in Italy. Committed to this important heritage, the Neri family has decided to live and work in the country. Their wine is the result of this connection between what characterized their life and their devotion to nature.Enrico Neri’s Estate would like to welcome anyone, who wishes to know the family’s history, the way of living and the wine processing. Wine tasting tours are available all year around for big or small groups. If you wish to visit the winery and taste some wine or have an aperitif with friends, at Enrico Neri’s winery you can find dedicated areas ideal for a glass of wine and some local delicacies

Great spot. Beautiful setting. The tasting was fabulous and included charcuterie. The tour was very interesting with a visit to the cellar. We were able to purchase wine and olive oil and have it shipped home to the US in a timely fashion and very reasonably priced. Definitely recommend for a wine tasting close to Rome!
