What to expect
Let's start with the city of Bevagna, one of the most beautiful cities in Italy. The main square - Piazza Filippo Silvestri - has preserved its natural medieval appearance. Along it, there are ancient palaces. And around the Consuls' Palace, built back in 1270, there are three ancient churches. In the city, you can get acquainted with craft workshops, where the principles of paper, glass, iron forging, pottery production, and many others have been preserved since ancient times.
Bevagna is also famous for its "Gaite" - an ancient theatrical and costumed historical holiday that reflects the life of a medieval city: production shops, everyday life with its taverns, a market, and scenes from ancient life.
The next, no less pleasant goal of our route is a wine and local products tasting at a winery in the city of Montefalco. For lovers of enogastronomic tours and wine collectors, there will be an opportunity to try the famous local wine Sagrantino and other well-known wines with the quality of the DOC (Montefalco Rosso, Trebbiano Spoletino, Grechetto) and DOCG (Sagrantino di Montefalco) marks, as well as see the process of their production.
