TWO DAYS COOKING TOUR IN THE ARTISTIC UMBRIA
small group
culinary tour of Italy
Welcome to Umbria! Umbria is an enchanting region blessed with nature’s bounty, culture, art and a thriving culinary tradition. The beauty of Umbria is seductive and at times seems quite perfect, thanks to the splendid balance between man and nature, in the bond that Umbrians have always had with their land and their rich past.
In the Middle Ages and in the Renaissance, it was a pulsating region at the heart of Italian historical, cultural, and religious events, and its cities flourished in an extraordinary manner, accumulating an enormous wealth of artistic jewels. So it is entirely natural that the cities of Umbria attract tourists and travellers who are thirsty for beauty.
