Boasting significant cultural heritage, fascinating traditions, and an exciting lifestyle, you will be guided through the city centre and then underground to the first settlements dating back to the ninth century BC. Located inside the tufaceous caves in the massif on which the Umbrian town currently stands, you will explore the underground of the city, which still holds many surprises. A few steps from the Cathedral, the tunnels and cavities reveal another world to be discovered: wells, quarries, laboratories, and olive mills have guaranteed the survival of the inhabitants on the surface for millennia. Visit an extraordinary winery and its centuries-old cellar before enjoying lunch with a delicious wine pairing.
