Cooking Class + Wine and Deruta Ceramic Tour
One Full Cooking Day in Italy – Umbria
A day totally dedicated to the cooking and the discovery of two treasures of Umbria: ceramics and wine.
Ceramics are a typical product of Deruta, a medieval hilltown in Umbria, Italy. Production began in the early Middle Ages, and found its artistic peak in the 15th and early 16th century, with highly characteristic local styles, such as the Deruta trademark “Raffaellesco” dragon design said to be inspired by the murals of Raphael. Deruta decorative pottery are still deservedly popular and many ceramicists keep the tradition alive.
The Tour includes also the visit of a prestigious Umbria winery: you will participate to the guided tour accompanied by a professional sommelier. After, you’ll taste three of their fantastic wines–a fantastic experience you won’t regret!
Reservations are on request for any day, year round, based upon availability, for a minimum of two people.
