Torgiano
Spend a half‑day visiting the wine and olive‑oil museums; one night in town if you want a quiet base for Umbria day‑trips.
Torgiano is a small Umbrian town known for the Lungarotti wine museum and olive‑oil museum. It sits 10 km southeast of Perugia, reachable by road or bus. The sights fit in a few hours, so a single night is enough unless you prefer a relaxed stay before exploring nearby historic towns.

Etiquette, safety and scams
Etiquette
- Greeting: Say buongiorno (until mid-afternoon) or buonasera on entering shops and bars; avoid: Walking in and pointing without a greeting
- Cheek kisses: Two kisses, right cheek first, among friends; follow their lead; avoid: Kissing strangers or in business settings
- Dress: Smart-casual in cities; covered shoulders and knees in churches; avoid: Beachwear, bare chests and flip-flops away from the beach
- Queues: At delis and pharmacies take a number (numerino); avoid: Assuming the crowd at a bar counter is chaos — pay at the till first where asked
- Restaurants: Wait to be seated and ask for the bill; avoid: Splitting a bill item by item with a large group
- Conversation: Food, football and family are safe openers; avoid: Mafia jokes and north–south stereotypes
- Dinner at a home: Bring pastries, wine or flowers (not chrysanthemums, which are for funerals); avoid: Refusing seconds too firmly
Scams and watch-outs
- Museum tickets are sold at the door; combined ticket for both museums €7 (check for discounts).
- Opening hours: Wine museum 09:00‑13:00 & 15:00‑19:00 summer, 09:00‑13:00 & 15:00‑18:00 winter; same for olive‑oil museum.
Torgiano is low‑risk; typical petty‑theft watch in crowded areas, keep valuables secure.
