We will cross the marvelous landscapes of Lazio and Umbria, a relaxing and scenic journey admiring gentle hills, ancient forests, olive groves, and medieval villages nestled in the valleys.

Upon arrival in Assisi, meet your private guide at the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, located in the plain below the historic center, for an immersive experience of cultural and spiritual visits.

    • Basilica of Saint Francis: Full tour of the Upper and Lower Basilicas, adorned with famous frescoes by Giotto and Cimabue.
    • Piazza del Comune: The heart of the city, featuring the Temple of Minerva and Palazzo dei Priori.
    • Basilica of Saint Clare: Dedicated to Saint Francis’ spiritual companion, hosting the Crucifix that spoke to the Saint.

Around 2:00 PM, enjoy a vineyard lunch near the Basilica of Saint Francis. A gastronomic experience highlighting Umbrian excellence, with strictly local products.

Tasting Menu:

  • Selection of 5 local Assisi wines, including Grechetto and Sagrantino.
  • Bruschetta with locally produced extra virgin olive oil.
