Start time	9:00am
End time	4:30pm
Duration	7,30 h

9:00am: After breakfast, you meet your tour leader Mary Angela to head to the lovely medieval town of Bevagna, one of the most beautiful hamlets in Italy.

9:30am: Since Bevagna, also called Mevania, was one of the most important commercial centers during the Roman Empire, a lot of old ruins are still present in its historical center.

You will visit the ancient thermal spas where Romans would gather to talk about politics, business and philosophy and, once here, you will meet Valeria, the museum’s manager.

She will walk you through the spas mosaics and thoroughly explain its designs describing scenes from nature and mythology.

10:00am: You will continue exploring the town and get to the fascinating Gaita San Pietro where artisans continue shaping wax as they were still living in the Medieval times. You will have a real time demonstration and you will see what were the tools locals used to use to make candles in the Middle Ages. However the Gaita San Pietro is only one of the four neighborhoods Bevagna is divided into during the Mercato delle Gaite.

This is an annual festival where the old Medieval way of living is recreated. For an entire week in June, the whole historical center is converted into an outdoor market where local artisans are dressed in Medieval customs and showcase their crafts to visitors.

12:00am: You will head to Montefalco, one of the most important wine making towns of the region, and drive through the incredible Strada del Sagrantino. A stunning and highly scenic route, the Sagrantino Way is named after the renowned local grape variety, whose wine was traditionally served by clergymen during Holy Mass.

You will stop at a local winery where lunch will be served. Once here, you will meet Paolo, one of the owners, who will guide you through a unique wine tasting experience of their best wines, all perfectly paired with mouthwatering local delicacies.

4:30pm: End of the tour and farewell to Mary Angela.
