Begin your tour with a drive to Tarquinia, founded in the 7th century BC, and now known as a magnificent Etruscan burial ground.
You will see the Palazzo Vitelleschi -- an excellent example of early Renaissance architecture, whose Archeological Museum houses the remains of the mysterious Etruscan population.
Visit the necropolis, containing thousands of tombs dating from the 6th to the 1st century BC, many of which have not yet been explored.
Next, at Mandoleto Farm, you will sample typical agricultural products. The tasting includes canapés with pâté, bruschetta (toasted farm-made bread with pure extra-virgin olive oil), honey marmalade, and several different local wines.
