The experience · Colle Arfuso, Montefalco
It isn’t
a tour.
It’s a safari.
The jeep pulls away. The gravel crunches under the wheels. Dust lifts. The sun is already warm — or just about to set, depending on the ride you chose. And that’s when it hits you: this isn’t an organized tour — you are inside someone’s working day, on land he farms every day.
A jeep through the rows, a cellar built into my grandparents’ house, six wines to taste with Sagrantino always on the team. Small groups, 18 people at most. I take you myself — and from the top you’ll see the whole Umbra Valley open up below the vines.

Four ways
to live it
The cellar, open at sunset
€18 /adult
The simple Montefalco ritual: two glasses of your choice from our labels, warm bruschetta with our own oil, and the Farmer’s Board — a whole Umbrian salami, with a knife and a board, so you cut it as thick as you like it. The sun goes down over the vines and nobody is rushing you. No jeep on this one: you stay at the cellar and under the gazebo — the safari between the rows starts with the Light.
- Two glasses of wine, chosen there and then
- Warm bruschetta with our own Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- The Farmer’s Board: an Umbrian salami you slice yourself
- Optional short walk-through (5–10 minutes) to see where the wine is born
- Water, and a Kids’ Kit (paper and crayons)
Enosafari Light
€49 /adult
Your first trip into the world of Sagrantino, for anyone short on time who still wants the real thing: a jeep through the rows to read the landscape — wind, soil, which way the hill faces — then the cellar built into my grandparents’ house, and six wines tasted together.
- Jeep ride through the vineyards (about 20 minutes, at the best spots)
- A walk through the cellar, told the way you’d tell a curious friend
- Six wines tasted together, Sagrantino included
- Warm bruschetta with our olive oil, and Umbrian cured meats
- Water and a Kids’ Kit
Enosafari Classic Most chosen
€69 /adult
If the Light is a taste, the Classic is the whole immersion. We cross the entire hill: the Hill of Bees, where our silent workforce lives, then the descent towards Scimella, where the ground tips away under the wheels and we drive right between the rows. Back at the house: all six rooms of the cellar, and a proper family lunch.
- Extended jeep ride: from the top of the hill down to the valley
- All six rooms of the cellar, from fermentation to the drying racks
- Six wines, including the Secret Wine and the dry Sagrantino
- A light lunch: truffle bruschetta, cheeses with honey, Umbrian cured meats
- Espresso to finish, water, and a Kids’ Kit
★ Add the “straight from the barrel” tasting to the Light or Classic: €18 a head · Hotel pick-up quoted after you book

and still no script
The jeep and the hill
We climb into the open jeep and cross the hill, from the top down to the valley. We stop where the landscape has something to say: the wind, the clay and limestone soil, which way the slope faces. At the Hill of Bees I introduce you to our silent workforce.
Between the rows, down towards Scimella
The part nobody sees coming: the ground tips away under the wheels and we go straight through the middle of the rows. This is where you understand why Sagrantino comes from this particular hill: it is the most tannic grape in Italy, and it only truly grows here, within a few kilometers of Montefalco.
The six rooms of my grandparents’ house
The cellar is built into my grandparents’ old house. Six rooms, from fermentation to the grapes drying on racks. Stories, not lectures — and ask me anything you like.
Six wines and a family lunch
In the old stable, restored, or under the gazebo with the view: six wines, including the Secret Wine we keep for Enosafari guests, and the dry Sagrantino. On the table: bruschetta, truffle, cheeses and Umbrian cured meats. Coffee to close.

If you’re giving it as a gift · The Message in a Bottle
The gift arrives
in a bottle
A bottle of clear glass. Cork, sealing wax, red twine. Inside, no wine: a rolled-up message with your own words written on it. It’s your Enosafari voucher, turned into something real to hold.
You can give the Enosafari as a link. Quick, easy — and impossible to unwrap. So we make the Message in a Bottle instead: we seal your voucher inside a real bottle and send it to whoever you want to surprise, in its black box. In the box there’s also the Enosafari corkscrew — because a bottle like this gets uncorked, not opened.
It happened at a birthday dinner. The box goes round the table and everyone thinks: wine. Then someone lifts it — far too light. Everyone leans in. Corkscrew, cork, and the message slides out of the glass: the present was a day up here, among the rows of Montefalco.
How it works: pick the voucher on the booking page and, at checkout, add the Message in a Bottle: €45 on top of the voucher, everything included — the sealed bottle with your words, the Enosafari corkscrew, the black box, and delivery to the person you want to surprise, in Italy and anywhere in Europe. You write the message; we take care of the rest.

You bought the voucher without the bottle
It happens, and it takes a minute to fix. Tell us your voucher code and we print exactly what you already wrote — your words included — roll it up, seal it inside the bottle and send it to the person you want to surprise. You don’t have to write anything again.
€45 · shipping included in Italy and anywhere in Europe
★ You need a voucher you have already bought. The address of the person receiving the gift goes in at checkout, as the shipping address.
And if it rains? · The “No Stress” promise
The weather
doesn’t run this place
We go down into the cellar
The jeep ride becomes a proper tasting among the barrels: with the “wine thief” we draw Sagrantino straight from the wood and taste it while it is still becoming wine. A plan B that plenty of people choose on purpose.
