Foodie Breaks Programme

ACCOMMODATION

Check-in: 3pm – 7pm (let us know if you arrive earlier or later).
You will be staying in an agriturismo or rural B&B (depends on the dates booked). I work with several quality structures that I choose personally.

When you pay a booking deposit you will receive the directions to the accommodation with a link to Google maps.

DINNER

On the evening of your arrival you will have dinner in a local restaurant (included in the price). I choose restaurants personally, so you can be sure that you will eat excellent traditional food. Be prepared for a feast: delicious starters, generous pasta dishes, meat, dessert, wine and home-made liqueurs, – all made with local ingredients.

WINERIES VISIT

Starts at 10am

Duration: 3 hours

We will meet in an agreed location and drive to the first winery.
We will visit a renowned family-run 200-year-old wine cellar and local vineyard producing excellent wines. You will taste 7-8 red, white, sparkling and dessert wines accompanied by local cheeses and cured meats. Afterwards we will pop in to a small shop in a beautiful historic town to taste some traditional local liquors.
Afterwards you will have a free afternoon. You can explore the small town of Tocco Da Casauria and have lunch there (I will be happy to recommend a good restaurant in the area and book it for you).
