Everyone has heard of Rick Steves, yes? Well, we are lucky enough to travel in the same buses that this world-class traveler travels in when he comes to Italy. As a group of twenty five, we all squeeze into this little blue bus – and let me tell you – we have a ton of memories inside of this retro-chic vehicle. Two weeks ago, we pulled up to the TreBotti Farm. After a long day of walking and touring we couldn’t wait to explore the vineyards and we were all thankful that Little Miss Monti made it up to the top of the mountain. While we waited for our host to come find us, we thought it was appropriate to snap a few pictures with Monti – just so we would never forget her.

Anyways… moving on to where Monti took us, it was TreBotti, a beautiful vineyard in the rolling hills of Orvieto, Italy. TreBotti is located in Castiglione in Teverina in Viterbo which is in Lazio. Orvieto is in Umbria.

This was by far one of the group’s favorite places to visit. We had great weather, great lighting (for pictures… because when you live with 22 girls, sometimes pictures are priority) and great wine.

First, we roamed the vineyards and learned the extensive process of growing grapes, pruning the vines, fermenting the grapes, barreling the wine and producing crates for shipment. I may be speaking just for myself, but I had no idea how vast and time intensive this whole wine-making process is. This made our wine tasting even more delicious. And, the dessert wine at the end was the best – ever.
For your tasting pleasure, the 3B Rose (sparkling rose wine) and Bludom (sweet, red dessert wine) are delicious. Try them and love them!
Ciao for now!!
