Farmhouse Experience

With an expert truffle hunter we explore the truffle-rich forests and pastures, following his expert dogs.
Back at the family farmhouse we discover the secrets of a family culinary tradition. Grandma accompanies us to the pasta room where we learn to make fresh pasta and other local delicacies. We also indulge in an assortment of home-made specialties and great local wine. Then we sit down to a big traditional Umbrian mountain lunch where all our recipes have a ‘wild’ flavor.
