Wauw leuk dat je meegaat vandaag naar Civita di Bagnoregio en Ecowine Experience wijnhuis Tre Botti. We beginnen vandaag met een stadwandeling in Civita di Bagnoregio. Cività di Bagnoregio behoort tot één van de borghi più belli d’Italia, de mooiste dorpjes van Italië. Dit mooie dorpje heeft een bijzondere bijnaam namelijk de stervende stad “la città che muore”. Tijdens onze stadswandeling vertel ik alle ins and outs over dit mooie stadje. Na de rondwandeling gaan we de natuur van de Valle dei Calanchi in en wandelen we naar het wijnhuis Tre Botti. De Valle dei Calanchi is een prachtig en bijzonder natuurgebied onderhevig aan erosie en kleine aardbevingen welke hun invloed hebben gehad op de tufstenen en kleiachtige ondergrond. Er is een prachtig gebied gemodelleerd door de eeuwen heen. Over oude paden door weilanden en velden met olijfbomen komen we de prachtigste vogels loslopende koeien en ezels tegen. Soms ontmoeten we ook wilde dieren. Hoe mooi is dat? We komen langs de natuurlijke kathedraal en gaan afsluitend genieten van een ecowine experience (wijnproeverij) met antipasti bij de verrassing van Lazio het wijnhuis Tre Botti Lees meer over Civita di Bagnoregio

We starten bij de toren van Chia ooit de woning van de beroemde filmregisseur Pasolini. Langs watervallen en door ravijnen komen we langs een oude watermolen en bekkens waar vroeger vlas in het water werd bewaard. Het bos is een beetje sprookjesachtig. Je hoort alleen maar het water vallen, de vogels en krekels. Wat een ervaring. Via een holle weg komen we uit bij een oude kerk ruïne met graftomben. Een fascinerende en ook wel ontroerende plek met duidelijk sporen van actief leven waaronder een bekken waar druiven in werden verwerkt. Tijd voor de lunch? Of wandelen we verder naar het hoogtepunt van vandaag de Pyramide. Via smalle kronkelpaadjes en over rotsen klimmend staan we dan opeens oog in oog met dit Etruskische juweel.

Voor de liefhebbers is er nog tijd om Bomarzo te bezoeken.

We will go to the discovery of one of the most beautiful villages in Italy located in the center of the country with a walk of about 3 hours. Civita di Bagnoregio is a beautiful ancient village called the dying city. Founded by the Etruscans, it then went through various dominations and in the Middle Ages it acquired much of its extraordinary shape, later enriched in the Renaissance and maintained up to us. Here everything is a sign of a time that no longer exists, readjustment and rebirth. The suggestion and the current charm is the result of this hybridization of eras, which have met and clashed. Leaving scattered traces. At the end of the walk a fantastic tasting of typical products

Wijnwandelen van Sovana naar Pitigliano en terug. We ontdekken vandaag één van Europa`s mooiste culturele wandelingen. Trek je wandelschoenen aan en ga mee pad met Volg de Rode Schoentjes. Vanmorgen beginnen we in het mooie Italiaanse dorpje, Sovana. Een klein dorpje waar de Etrusken al een 2500 jaar geleden leefden. Voordat we onze rugzak opdoen is er tijd om Sovana te ontdekken. In de middeleeuwen was Sovana de hoofdstad van het graafschap van de zeer invloedrijke Aldobrandeschi familie. De bisschop zetelde hier tot 1660. Nadat we hebben genoten van Sovana is het de hoogste tijd om op wandel pad te gaan. We verlaten Sovana en bezoeken de Etruskische necropool Folonia. Al wandelende hebben we een mooi uitzicht op Sovana en de bergen, waaronder de Monte Amita de hoogste berg van Zuid-Toscane. De wandeling gaat verder over oude Etruskische wegen. Een unieke en magnifieke ervaring. Het hoogtepunt is de via cava di San Giuseppe en een authentieke waterbron (fontein). Bij deze fontein gaan we lunchen. Na de lunch bezoeken we Pitigliano. De oude van oorsprong Etruskische stad is een juweel met haar smalle straatjes, fonteinen en poorten, die trots op een rots troont. Om vervolgens te gaan genieten van een geweldige wijnproeverij bij mijn favoriete wijnhuis Sassotondo. Na deze proeverij keren we weer terug naar Sovana.

I have selected 3 of my usual best rides of different difficulty levels. 1)' The Montefalco valley ring' is a peaceful ride in the valley which the stable overlooks. After leaving the barn, we will ride through country roads and wine yards. It is a 90-minute ride totally in the green, passing by two-three famous wine houses in the area. Level intermediate. 2) 'The Casale ride' implies riding uphill and reaching Casale's tiny village where the horses enjoy freshwater. It is a 120-minute ride on all country roads, with two asphalt roads to cross, and requires more skills than the previous. Advanced level. 3) The Sanctuary is the most intense ride instead, advisable for very skilled and experienced guests. We will primarily be trotting on Bevagna's hills crest. After leaving the barn, we will also have to be on one asphalt road (open to local traffic). Horses will have to get uphill on the crest of the surrounding hills. Getting to the Sanctuary and enjoying the silence and the view is really worth it. The riding time is about 150/180 minutes. Expert level. NOTE: This experience unfits beginners or those who have too limited experience. They will surely enjoy my other experience "Horseback ride in the Natural Way", instead.

You 'll be not wiewers, we will live from the inside Orvieto and most hidden corners, running unwritten history. Inside some undergrounds not open to large groups, we meet Etruscan an Roman civilization sites, told by those who explores, examines and uncharted caves.

Her we have wine tasting and we will share knowledge of winemaking art, toghether with local food tating. Then we go through the "Rocca di Albornoz" and go across the ring around the "Rupe" to let you take picture of this jewel of history, art and culture, from every angle. At the end we will go down through "Middle age area" where wood and ceramic craftsman workshops create a very old art.
