Tip: Email ahead of your visit, the family run winery confirms tasting and lunch slots directly.
Palazzone's Orvieto cellar door runs seven themed tastings, from a short introduction to longer pairings with lunch or a visit to the family home, built around the estate's Grechetto and Sangiovese.
Tip: Ask for the longevity focused format to taste older vintages of Orvieto Classico Superiore.
Decugnano dei Barbi, making wine on this Orvieto hillside since 1212, runs guided cellar tours and Grechetto tastings alongside cooking classes, with reservations handled directly by the Barbi family.

Chiorri's Colli Perugini cellar door runs three tiered tastings, from a single glass to a four wine pairing with local savory and sweet specialties, served on the terrace or in the restored 1800s casale.
Tip: The panoramic terrace hosts tastings in warm months, the stone walled casale takes over in winter.
Family-run Agricola Spacchetti estate on the Colle Ciocco hillside outside Montefalco, farming since 1870. Sagrantino and Grechetto go mostly to the cellar door rather than a large distribution network.
Tip: Call ahead before driving out, the tasting room keeps farmhouse hours rather than a fixed schedule.
Nicola restarted his grandfather Zino's 1978 vineyards on the Trasimeno hillside in 2003, on a sixty-hectare property with eleven under vine. The ten-wine range carries playful names, sold mainly from the estate itself.
Tip: The estate spans three separate hills above Vaiano, call ahead to confirm the tasting location.
Terre Vineate blends Procanico and Grechetto from small, well-exposed parcels into an Orvieto Classico Superiore under Palazzone's mid-tier pricing, a step above the estate's base Orvieto Classico.
Tip: Palazzone's Campo del Guardiano sits one tier higher if you want the estate's single-vineyard expression of the same two grapes.
Nuricante is Duca della Corgna's varietal Grechetto under the Colli del Trasimeno DOC, one of the estate's lowest-priced current releases and a straightforward introduction to the lake-shore white style.
Tip: Serve well chilled alongside lake fish from Trasimeno itself, the traditional local pairing for the estate's whites.
Cantine Goretti's varietal Grechetto is priced well below the estate's flagship L'Arringatore red, a native-grape entry point into the Colli Perugini DOC from a producer specializing in native Umbrian varieties.
Tip: Goretti's Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay Umbria IGT bottlings sit at a similar price if Grechetto is not in stock.
Vigna del Brillo is Cantina Dionigi's single-vineyard Montefalco Grechetto DOC, from the same certified organic holdings as the estate's reds, priced level with the winery's Montefalco Rosso.
Tip: The estate's Colle Sorragani Grechetto sits a few euros higher if you want to compare two expressions of the same grape from Dionigi side by side.
