Matera Crypt of Original Sin and Wine Tasting Tour

6 ore

Facile

Discover the Crypt of Original Sin, enjoy a local tasting at Masseria Dragone, admire San Giuliano Dam, and explore Miglionico Castle from Matera.
Leave Matera with private pick-up from your accommodation and explore two remarkable sites in the Basilicata countryside.

Visit the Crypt of Original Sin, a rock-hewn church known for its rare 8th–9th-century frescoes, with an audio guide that explains the biblical scenes and their meaning. As you explore the painted story of Genesis, you will also discover an intriguing detail: the forbidden fruit is not shown as an apple, revealing a different and more surprising interpretation of the original scene.

Continue to Masseria Dragone for a tasting that includes a charcuterie board with local cold cuts, traditional bread, crunchy taralli, and a glass of local wine. After this flavorful break, stop at the San Giuliano Dam to enjoy a scenic view before reaching Miglionico.

Walk through the medieval village with a licensed guide and visit Malconsiglio Castle, linked to the historic Conspiracy of the Barons. Wrap up the tour and return comfortably to your accommodation in Matera.
