The Wine Museum of Torgiano (Umbria, Italy) is a private museum, entirely dedicated to the culture of wine. Established in 1974 by Goirgio Lungarotti, founder of the Cantine Lungarotti Winery and his wife, Maria Grazia Marchetti. The museum is situated in a prominent wine-producing area. It is managed by the Lungarotti Foundation, which also oversees the Olive and Oil Museum. The foundation supports research, cultural events and exhibitions that promote the heritage and economic value of wine and olive oil. Through its archaeological, ethnographic and arts collections, the museum provides information on the role of wine in western culture, where wine has always been highly valued not only for its energetic and strengthening properties but also as a cultural product.
