What is the name of the Agriturismo in Ricks Monday night show that was in Orvieto area and also the one owned my the "Gori"? family? I am not sure if I got the name right. I was wondering if these places are for groups or could a couple stay there? Also, do you need a car to get there or is there train service?

I believe he stated that you would need a car for most, if not all, agriturismos -- they are working farms. Couples should be quite welcome.

On the map, it's closer to Siena than Orvietto, and yes, you would need a car.

I don’t know if this is the Gori family agriturismo - but we stayed at Tenuta le Velette in 2015 and we had a wonderful time. The woman who hosted was a Rick Steves guide and her name was Cecilia. You might check the website and see if this fits the bill for you.
