Leaving Rome and driving along the Tiber Valley, you will reach Orvieto as your first stop, a small town of Etruscan origins where you will admire the magnificent 14th-century cathedral, a masterpiece of gothic architecture. The tour continues through the green Tuscan Hills covered in olive groves and vineyards. This is the land of some of Italy’s best-known DOC (quality controlled) wines, like Orvieto, Chianti and Brunello di Montalcin.
Taste some local wines and other typical Umbrian and Tuscan products before enjoying a traditional lunch.
In the early afternoon, you will continue your journey along the shores of Lake Trasimeno. Finally, reach Assisi, which is located at the foot of Mount Subasio.
