Discover the heart of Italian wine culture at the Wine Museum MUVIS, in the province of Viterbo, where every room shows how wine has truly become part of everyday life in our country. Here you can see ancient tools, modern machinery, and small details you would normally miss, but which reveal how much work and passion go into every bottle. As you walk through the halls and exhibits, you find yourself surrounded by stories of families, harvests, and territories that have shaped the history of wine. 

In the museum’s cellars, the famous “cathedral” stands out: an enormous space that houses some of the biggest barrels you can see in Europe, impressing even those who think they already know quite a lot. Through photos, videos, and authentic, compelling testimonies, you’ll understand how grapes turn into the red and white wines you enjoy at your table every day.

Please note that the museum is closed between 13:00 and 15:00.
