Italian Vineyards ... Northern Vineries

Valle del Marta
Italian wine - the nectar of the gods - is distributed all around the world. This Tiber wine seaport excursion takes you first to the Valle del Marta, just northwest of Rome, where they have a particularly aromatic grape. Marta sets in historical and natural beauty with a farmhouse and hotel that reflects the traditional, local rural structures of the area. Along with the Chanti wine, they are known also for their 100% organic, extra-virgin olive oil. One of your hosts - Mario, Franco or Valerio, lifetime wine growers, will guide you on a tour of the vineyards and winery. You can purchase wine at Valle del Marta, and they will pack and ship it for you to your country of residence.

Tuscania
Next, the wine seaport excursion takes you to Tuscania, a historical city east of Valle del Marta. Known to exist in the Neolithic period, the actual city is thought to have been built around the 7th century B.C. and eventually became a major city in the Etruscan region and a maritime trade center through the port of Regas. Like many places in Europe, the governing peoples changed many times over the years. Through it all, we have been left with many intriguing sights for your wine limo tour - the medieval church of St. Peter, built in the Lombard-Romanesque style in the 8th century; the Tower of Lavello; the Sette Cannelle fountain; and the Etruscan necropolises with the Tomb of the Queen and Pian di Mola. Your Tiber chauffeur will be your guide during your limo tour of the city, where you will be enchanted by the sights and enjoy some wine tasting.
