Castel Gandolfo & Countryside Wine Tasting

Stunning Hilltop Village, Renaissance Gardens and Vineyard Visit Renaissance gardens in a stunning town, then explore a family owned vineyard before lunch and a wine tasting. Drive to the Alban Hills to visit Castel Gandolfo, renowned as one of Italy’s most beautiful villages, perched above Lake Albano. Known as the former summer residence of the Pope, it is also home to Villa Barberini, which features an extravagant garden from the Renaissance period, showcasing historic sculptures and architecture alongside botanical treasures. Stroll through with a guide before spending free time in the village. Then, travel to Santa Benedetta Winery, the oldest in the Castelli Romani region, which has been family owned and run for more than 300 years. Learn about the history of the vineyard and its unique terroir, then enjoy an authentic Italian lunch made with the estate’s olive oil and paired with a selection of their wines. Afterward, return to your ship. * Demanding - Physically challenging activities, including extensive walks, hiking, riding, water sports, and high altitude activities.
