Visiting Orvieto also means embarking on a journey through authentic flavours and products that tell the story of the local area. The city has long been one of the main reference points for Umbrian food and wine culture, offering a culinary heritage deeply rooted in rural traditions.

One of the highlights of the local table is Orvieto Classico, a white wine known and appreciated well beyond the region. The hills surrounding the city are home to vineyards producing high-quality wines, ideal for tasting during a visit to local wineries. Many estates offer dedicated wine experiences, combining tastings with traditional products and stories linked to Umbrian winemaking culture.

Traditional cuisine also deserves a special place in the travel experience. Handmade umbrichelle pasta, wild boar, grilled meats, artisan cured meats and extra virgin olive oil are just some of the local specialities to enjoy in restaurants and traditional trattorias throughout the area. During spring and summer, visitors can also find events dedicated to local products, farmers’ markets and initiatives promoting regional craftsmanship and food and wine excellence. The 2026 calendar includes the regular Campagna Amica market as well as numerous events celebrating local artisan traditions and gastronomic specialities.

For those who choose Orvieto for a holiday, the city reveals itself as a destination where culture and taste come together naturally. Every dish tells a story, every wine reflects the character of the Umbrian hills, and every culinary experience offers an opportunity to connect with the region’s most authentic traditions.
