Description

What makes Umbria different from all other Italian regions is that feeling of being welcomed by an old, faithful friend who shares with us his wealth and his secrets with nonchalance, careful and entertaining but never intrusive.

Your English-speaking driving escort takes you to Perugia, where a local guide takes you into the heart of a fascinating old town perched atop a high cliff. An escalator allows visitors to reach the top and to enjoy breathtaking views of the facades of medieval palaces and churches as well as the Umbrian hills.

A lively city, Perugia hosts a variety of cultural events dedicated to music, literature, journalism, and food and wine throughout the year. Among the most popular: the Umbria Jazz Festival and the Eurochocolate Festival, inspired by the city’s historic Perugina chocolate factory, not to mention Perugia 1416, a historical reenactment of the period when the city knew its greatest splendor.

Once the tour is over, meet your driver again and reach an estate devoted to low impact viticulture, where no machines are used and most works are carried out by draught horses, the treading of which respects the structure of the soil, preserving its qualities and facilitating its nurturing. A relaxing tour by horse and coach through the vineyards, cleaned and kept in check by a flock of geese that run free and fed on the grass that grows wild between the rows, precedes a wine tasting accompanied by organic and locally produced cold cuts and cheese.

Head now for Spello, a delightful hamlet on top of a little hill, member of Italy’s Small Historical Towns, known for its cobbled streets, its stone-walls covered in creepers and its blooming and colorful balconies.
