Once a year in conjunction with the religious feast of Corpus Domini, the festival of L’Infiorata is celebrated in Spello, a medieval hill town in central Umbria with origins that pre-date the Romans. The feast is marked by laying extravagant floral carpets (Infiorata) over the streets. Floral artists create larger-than-life depictions of religious themes or re-creations of sacred art using only the petals and seeds, laboring all night on the eve of the Infiorata, when the Host is carried through the streets in a procession.
Let's Cook in Umbria offers special package for small groups (from 2 up to 8 people in Central Italy) to participate in the Spello's Corpus Domini .
Everyday you will participate in a cooking class in the farm and in a tour focused on the gastronomic and artistic richness of the region. We want our travelers to experience the fun of cooking and travel in a land known for its “food culture”.
You will have accommodation in the apartments of the farmhouse "La volpe e l'uva". It is in the beautiful heart of the Umbria valley, sourrounded by 10 hectares of olive groves, vineyards and fruit trees. Six independent apartments have been restored around the ancient stone house, which dates back to the 17th century. It is only 4km far from the historic centre of Perugia and offers a suggestive view of the Umbrian hills.
