The Best of Umbria and a Touch of Tuscany
October 7-17, 2023
Hosted by Jennifer Nangle - Signature Select, Italy Expert
Known for its medieval towns and lush landscapes of olive groves, dense forests and hills, Umbria is also one of the top culinary regions in Italy, famous for truffles, chocolate and wine.
Situated almost smack-dab in the geographic middle of the country, what this landlocked region lacks in coastline, it makes up for in natural beauty. Umbria overflows with Etruscan ruins, pretty medieval hill-towns, and food and wine that are out of this world. Sip a glass of the region’s renowned white at sunset; Umbria is perfect for travellers who enjoy a slower, more laid-back pace.
Tour Highlights:
- Stay at a 16th century farmhouse set amongst the olive groves - Camiano Piccolo.
- Hunt for truffles with our local host, Riccardo.
- Enjoy a private pasta making class at the farm with owner, Guiseppe.
- Explore world-famous towns such as Assisi, Florence, and Cortona - the delightful hilltop community made famous in Frances Mayes’ bestseller “Under the Tuscan Sun.”
- Take the historic funicular up to Montecatini Alto, a picturesque hamlet offering spectacular views.
