Anna Rita and Rosanna provided a wonderful experience. We had such a great time visiting, cooking, and eating! Truly, a highlight of our trip. If you're looking for something very fun to do, I highly recommend a cooking class at Decugnano Dei Barbi!

My wife and I spent our 10th Anniversary in Orvieto with an afternoon scheduled for Decugnano dei Barbi. The views offered by Decugnano are breathtaking, especially of Orvieto itself. However, the real star is the personal experience. This star is polished to a radiant sheen by Anna Rita, our guide. I was even able to coordinate surprise vow renewals for... More

Despite the rainy weather which made the drive from Rome to the winery and back again to Rome quite difficult, we had a delightful day with Anna Rita and Rosanna. I'm sure the views would be better on a sunny day, but we could still appreciate the natural beauty of the region. The tour of the winery was very interesting,... More

You will not remember this experience with anything other than fondness - it was, as so many here testify, the highlight of our trip. Up in the Umbrian hills, with a spectacular view across the valley towards Orvieto and its towering Duomo in the distance, this would be worth the meandering drive up the hillside on its aesthetics alone.
