If you are searching for the true Italia, sneak away to Umbria…a wonderful mix of vineyards, olive groves and medieval villages. Art and history abound and cycling village to village we are free to stop into the churches for a glimpse of the glorious past. A great tour and the perfect complement to a visit to Florence and Rome. Highlights include olive oil tasting with Professor Ciri, a local producer organic olive oil, touring the pink city of Assisi and viewing Giotto's famous frescoes, biking through the Lungarotti vineyards and a private tour of Andrea's family workshop in Deruta, a center for hand-painted majolica ware.
Highlights:
- Biking through olive groves and vineyards;
- Walking through the vineyards of Montefalco;
- Visting the medieval paper maker just around the corner of our inn;
- Wandering the narrow streets of Assisi and Spello;
- Tasting extra virgin Umbrian olive oils at the agriturismo.
