Civita di Bagnoregio ("The Dying Town")

Piazza San Donato, 01022 Civita di Bagnoregio VT, Italy

One of Italy's most extraordinary sights, just 20 minutes from Montefiascone. Perched atop a golden tufa cliff slowly eroding over centuries, it is accessible only across an elevated pedestrian suspension footbridge over breathtaking clay canyon badlands.

Tip: Visit in late afternoon when day-trippers disperse; the golden hour light hitting the calanchi canyons is unforgettable.

Cantina Famiglia Cotarella (Falesco)

Loc. San Pietro, 05020 Montecchio TR, Italy

A world-class architectural winery nestled in the rolling volcanic hills between Lazio and Umbria. Famous for Montiano (100% Merlot that put Tuscia on the world wine map) and Ferentano (made from the ancient Roscetto grape).

Tip: Book a cellar tour followed by lunch at their tasting academy; their olive oils and single-vineyard wines are exceptional.
