What to expect
The carriage ride through vineyards sets a contemplative pace—you'll move slowly enough to absorb the landscape and learn how the estate practises organic farming. The winery tasting that follows showcases their wines alongside seasonal cheeses, cured meats, and preserves; expect a relaxed, unhurried session. After a lunch break, your guide meets you in Assisi and walks you through the compact historic centre, discussing St. Francis's life and the town's spiritual significance. You'll visit major sites including the basilica, using the supplied audio guide to understand what you're seeing.
