Having Tuscany as a neighbour it's hard for Umbria to achieve what it merits without obligatory comparisons. Those who have already been in this wonderful region, though, don't think so. Coloured fields in bloom, green holm-oak woods and yellow sunflower fields, the aroma of black and white truffles from Gubbio, the sausages of Norcia, the DOC wines of Orvieto, Torgiano and Montefalco will remain unforgettable to every visitor. Umbria is a land of joy for explorers, a land where people practice
Zen with horses. |
| But Umbria is also the land
of Saint Francis of Assisi, above all, of the historic and
present celebrations, „Corsa dei Ceri", „Festival
dei due Mondi", of music, Jazz Festival of Perugia and
of chocolate Perugina Baci, of craftwork Antiques and terracotta
pots wherever you go and, last but not least, of cuisine. We assembled
some appetisers for you: |
|
 |
Gubbio. This city likes to celebrate, often and thouroughly. The most famous celebration is the Corsa dei Ceri, where three enormous candles of wood filled with wax are carried up the mountain running. In Gubbio everybody is crazy and those crazy people are even proud of it. This place owns a real treasure: the Eugubinian tables, comparable to the Rosetta Stone. We are talking about 5 bronze tables that lead to the decodification of Etruscan language, they are kept in the architectonically interesting Palazzo dei Consoli. |
| This town is as well closely linked to
the aroma of truffles grated paper thin on pasta dishes. Searching
for truffles with original and licensed truffle farmers and dogs,
your guests will search, clean and cook their meals by themselves.
Insider tip: if you walk around the Fontana dei Matti (Fountain of the Crazy) three times, you'll get the Honorary Idiot of Gubbio diploma. |
|
 |
Torgiano. This small wine town between Perugia and Assisi is situated on a lovely hill above the Tiber offering beautiful houses and palazzi of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The most important attraction certainly is the wine museum, il „Museo del Vino", opened thanks to a private initiative of the Lungarotti family. 15 rooms prepared according to excellent didactic principles leave space to the history of wine-growing. |
|
Your guests may then immediately put this newly acquired knowledge
into practise on the vineyard with an exclusive sommelier course,
obviously with wine-tasting! |
|
|
Locations in this region: medieval castles and fortresses, villas, exclusive restaurants, vineyards, farms and much more…. Ideal destination for: wine connaisseurs and gourmets, incentives, small seminaries and meetings, product presentations, sport and nature freaks. Airport: Perugia | |
