Five-Day Culinary Wine & Food Trip to Umbria, Italy

Monteleone d'Orvieto, Città della Pieve, Montegiove and Panicale
Historisch dorp bovenop een heuvel omgeven door groene bomen en olijfbomen onder een blauwe hemel met lichte wolken.
Landschap met wijngaarden in herfstkleuren op glooiende heuvels onder een partly bewolkte lucht.

In the middle of the green heart of Umbria, we stay in an attractive Italian country house, hidden between vineyards, olive groves and extensive forests that give the landscape its character and peace. Throughout the trip, this authentic country house is our exclusive base, a place where the pace slows naturally and where each day begins and ends in an atmosphere of simplicity and sophistication.

The mansion is located near the medieval village of Montegiove, which formed around the 13th-century Castello di Montegiove. In the surrounding forests, a world is unfolding that is deeply rooted in nature: truffles, mushrooms and wild herbs grow here, and animals such as wild boars, deer and pheasants live freely in their natural environment.In the midst of this environment, we experience pure Italian outdoor life, in peace, with attention to detail and comfort, and with the space to slow down, connect and truly enjoy everything this special place has to offer has.
