Embarking on a self-guided winery tour from Perugia is a fantastic way to explore the region’s wine culture at your own pace. If you have time to venture into the picturesque countryside, you’ll discover charming wineries offering unique experiences and exquisite wines within an hour of Perugia.

If you only have one day for a wine tour, we suggest visiting the following three wineries:

• Goretti
• Castello Monte Vibiano Vecchio
• Agricola Casaioli

If you have a driver (and you definitely should), you could leave Perugia after lunch, visit all three wineries, and be back in Perugia in time for dinner. Of course, how long the tour takes will depend on how many wineries you visit and how long you spend at each winery.

NOTE: Some wineries in Italy require reservations for tastings and tours. We suggest you contact them ahead of time to make any necessary arrangements.
