Slow Tasting allows a hands-on experience with food and with the areas from which the food comes. It reinforces the tie with Umbria through unique experiences and activities embodying gastronomy and natural excursions.

The fastest and perhaps most effective way to get to the essence of Umbria is with food and wine tastings. Tastings shared with other people help to form a direct connection and to savour a particular product or place. Whenever we taste something, it becomes an experience and a part of us, and therefore something that we won’t forget.

Every fruit here has its season, and thus our activities keep this principle in mind. We work to stimulate the interests of our guests and to generate knowledge that comes from digging deep inside ourselves to discover our roots.

Umbria is home to many farmers, and here, this type of tradition mixes with entrepreneurial life. It’s a gastronomic layer rich with human passion, both past and present. Umbria is also home to excellent wine. A visit in September or October means seeing the harvest and the vines that produce these wines.

The same goes for oil, which comes from our olive-covered hills. In the city of Norcia, farmers still use old rooms in houses to make prosciutto, milk their flocks daily to make cheese, and dig up truffles. The people that do this work would say that it is the thread between the fields and the table. We want to lend our eyes to our guests so they can see and understand what we have seen, as if to take someone by the hand and lead them in a common direction: that of knowledge.
