My continued surprise at the lengths you went to to give us a piece of life in Umbria was more than I could have imagined or hoped for. I wanted this trip to be special. You made it exceptional. I thank you for that priceless gift."
  • Reviewer: BE, Umbria Wine Tour, July 2009 located in USA
    "The food, the sites, and of course the wine were all amazing. I have already given out your cards and raved about the personal attention that went into our trip and how each day exceeded the one before it. We can't thank you enough for an experience that we will never forget. The wine, food, and culture wouldn't have stood out as much without you explaining it all to us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you again for one of the most wonderful experiences of our lives."
  • Reviewer: B&MS, Truffle Hunting Tour, September 2009 located in USA
    "Bravo for making our trip to Spoleto one of the most fantastic experiences we have ever had, including our hotel stay and the truffle hunt everything was faultless. Your fervor for Spoleto was truly felt by us; and your knowledge of the area was incredible. Our truffle hunt was truly once in a life time experience everyone should have. Thank you for making our 40th anniversary one we will treasure forever."

Itinerary

More Information on the Wine and Cookery Tour:

 

This one-day tour will start in Bevagna with an Italian cooking lesson with a professional chef. You will then enjoy the results of your efforts over lunch in the unique surroundings of a restaurant housed in part of a Roman theatre dating back to the 1st Century. In the afternoon we will travel through the vineyards between Bevagna and Montefalco visiting local wineries and sampling the wines.

 

Both Bevagna and Montefalco are within easy reach of Perugia, Assisi, Spoleto and Todi.

 

The cooking lesson will take place in a restaurant in Bevagna. Bevagna is a prosperous former Roman settlement, where Roman aristocrats used to build their villas. The restaurant, one of Umbria’s finest, is located in part of a Roman theatre dating back to the 1st Century. The exact menu will be provided at the time of booking but is likely to consist of one primo (entrée) (such as a pasta dish or gnocchi) and one main course (such as braised veal in Rosso di Montefalco wine sauce). Following an aperitivo, lunch will consist mainly of the food you have prepared at the cooking lesson.

 

After lunch we will depart for Montefalco for a private tour of selected local wineries with wine tastings of Montefalco’s wines which are considered to be among the best in Italy. In Montefalco you will sample Sagrantino di Montefalco, one of only two Umbrian wines to be awarded the prestigious DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita –the highest Italian wine appellation) and the excellent Rosso di Montefalco DOC. Weather permitting, you will also get a chance to walk through the vineyards.
