Join The Red Road Tour for a once-in-a-lifetime hike, followed by a wine tasting with a local and fully licensed guide. We will walk in the footsteps of the Etruscans, the ancient people who inhabited the ancient lands of Marrema, immersing ourselves in the vie cave (ancient streets dug into the tufaceous rock that reaches a depth of 25 meters) and following a circular route of about 6 km (3.7 miles.) Experience the secret walkways, caves, and tombs of these people who dug the paths to connect with the necropolises, also known as the ancient cities of the dead. The tour will end with a visit to a cellar where two young winemakers will explain you how they make wine today and where you will be able to taste a sample of their products.
