The Dying City "Civita Bagnoregio" w/wine tasting from Port
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.

Where this sits in Rome
Rome is about 33 min by road from Rome Fiumicino Airport. Three thousand years stacked on top of each other, still busy being a capital. Stay central and walk — the Forum, the Pantheon and a dozen churches worth the detour are closer together than the map suggests, and the city rewards wandering more than ticking off.
