UMBRIA (WITH ASSISI) TOUR IN FALL DESCRIPTION
Vineyards stretch for miles in hues of yellow, orange and red. This is Umbria during the harvest time and it’s full of mystery and allure. Sometimes described as “the new Tuscany”, Umbria is an ancient region found between Rome and Florence that has a rustic charm of its own. The people of Umbria are proud and passionate, and ensure their local traditions and rituals endure for centuries.
At the heart of our journey lies Assisi, the sacred home of St. Francis. We stay in an awe-inspiring setting nestled beneath the shadow of the majestic Basilica. More than just its famous basilica, Assisi holds untold treasures – quiet, contemplative sites connected to the saint that remain blissfully untouched by the crowds. We explore these lesser-known corners of Assisi on a deeply meaningful and exclusive path that most visitors never experience.
Along the way we’ll visit family vineyards, some of the prettiest towns in Italy, Spello and Perugia (the home of Italian chocolate). Our Umbria with Assisi tour features gastronomic experiences including making pasta, and long lunches with matching local wines, all in the company of fellow food and wine loving travelers with a passion for Italian culture.
