Lake Bracciano & Wine Tasting

Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Board your motorcoach and travel to Lake Bracciano in the Etruscan countryside some 20 miles northwest of Rome. One of Italy's major lakes, Lake Bracciano is a major source of drinking water for the Eternal City. A volcanic crater lake, Bracciano is also a popular scenic spot with Romans as well as a famous wedding destination. Actors Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were married at the Castello Orsini-Odeleschi, a magnificent feudal castle that stands outside Bracciano town.

The lakeside resort of Anguillara is another popular wedding spot. This medieval town crowns a small peninsular jutting into the lake. Enjoy some free time to explore its lakeside promenade and beaches. Or photograph the town sights, including the town hall and the 15th century Church of San Francesco.

Then continue to the Tuscia wine country, the source of some of Rome's most popular wines. Visit a local wine estate and sample the vintages. The Etruscan countryside is also renowned for its olive oils, cheeses and cured meats - enjoy a selection of treats with your tasting. Wine is available for purchase.

After your tasting, board your motorcoach for the scenic return trip to Civitavecchia.
