Montefiascone sits on a volcanic ridge overlooking the southern shore of Lago di Bolsena (Lake Bolsena). Lago di Bolsena is a large volcanic lake formed inside the Vulsini (Monti Vulsini) volcanic complex; the Vulsini hills and tuff soils define the local relief. Within about 15 km are lakeside towns such as Bolsena, Marta and Capodimonte and stretches of lakeshore used for beaches, boating and local tourism. The surrounding countryside is agricultural: vineyards and olive groves on tuff and volcanic soils; the area is known for Est! Est!! Est!! di Montefiascone wine. There is no national park inside 15 km; the landscape is a volcanic-lake basin and cultivated hills rather than alpine relief. The nearest city of regional size is Viterbo at roughly 25–30 km, which provides a hospital, railway station and highway connections; Orvieto is at a similar distance with rail links.
