About this experience
From the port after 50 minutes driving arrive to Montefiascone offering panoramic views over Lake Bolsena, the largest volcanic lake in Europe. It is also famous for its vineyards and the legendary Est! Est!! Est! wine, which owes its name to an intriguing medieval tale. According to the legend, in 1111 AD, German King Henry V traveled to Rome for his coronation, accompanied by his wine-loving bishop, J. Defuk. The bishop’s servant, Martino, was tasked with scouting the best taverns along the way, marking the good ones with "Est" (It is here!). Upon reaching Montefiascone, he found the wine so exceptional that he tripled the inscription, adding exclamation points: Est! Est!! Est!!! After 15 min we arrived to "Civita Bagnoregio" also called "dying city" because the land on which it stands is slowly falling away and will inevitably disappear when the final pieces crumble into the Calanchi Valley. Let yourself be enchanted by the unique atmosphere before returning to the port.
