TWO DAYS COOKING TOURS IN THE NATURAL UMBRIA
small group culinary tour of Italy

Welcome to Umbria! The Italian region of Umbria is one of the smallest in the country. Located in the mountainous regions of central Italy, by the valley of the Tiber River, this tiny sector of Italy thrives in historic tales of medieval flavour. Rich in history and in nature, Umbria offers the Trasimeno lake and Mount Subasio.

DAY BY DAY ITINERARY OF THE TOUR

Day 1 - Arrive in Perugia
Arrival at the country farm "La volpe e l'uva" (Perugia, Central Italy, Umbria, near Tuscany). Check-in your apartment at 4:00pm.

Day 2 - Subasio Mountain (Assisi, Collepino, Spello)
Hands-on cooking class starts around 10:00am. You will prepare a four course lunch that you will eat at the end of the class, accompanied by our wines.
The tour take place from 15.00 to 19.00.The Park of Mount Subasio is formed by the mountain system of the same name that delimits towards north-east and dominates the Valle Umbra from its 1290 m of height.
The Subasio is the 'Monte de Assisi' because Assisi and its mountain live a sort of symbiosis lasting since antiquity. The entire historical centre of Assisi lies within the Park. The roads crossing the Park are essentially those which link the historic centres of Assisi and Spello. Leaving Assisi from Porta Perlici, you get to the Park’s headquarter at Ca’ Piombino, continuing you climb up to Costa di Trex from where you reach Spello, crossing the fortified village Collepino.

Day 3- Trasimeno lake
Hands-on cooking class starts around 10:00am. You will prepare a four course lunch that you will eat at the end of the class, accompanied by our wines.
The excursion take place from 15.00. Lake Trasimeno is in an idyllic setting surrounded by green rolling hills. The Etruscans were the first civilization to settle around the lake bringing with them their sophisticated culture. In 217BC Hannibal, the Carthaginian general, resoundingly defeated the Roman army on the northern shore of Tuoro sul Trasimeno. During the Middle Ages it came to be known as “Lake Perugia”: as a matter of fact the city of Perugia took control of the small villages dotted around the lake and the lake’s islands in the 12th century, turning them into prosperous towns engaged in the lucrative business of fishing and wheat growing. The charm of the lake was much exploited by painters of the Renaissance, “Il Perugino” in particular. Today it is a favourite resort for both the locals and tourists who enjoy the tranquillity and beauty of the lake and its surroundings.
