This walking tour for food lovers has the beautiful green and hilly Umbria as a backdrop. It is a perfect combination of walking in panoramic landscapes, exploring around culturally interesting towns and most important of all enjoying the excellent wines and gastronomic traditions of this lovely region.
The tour starts in Assisi, a lovely medieval town, built on the slopes of Mount Subasio. Assisi is a charming town offering tourists a wealth of tranquillity and a lot to see. Take the time to properly explore the town on foot and with the help of our cultural route you will find yourself walking by many impressive medieval monuments, town palaces, shops and fountains, such as the Fonte Oliviera. Leaving Assisi you will walk to Spello, but before reaching this exquisite town, you will make a stop at an organic-winery to taste some wines of the Assisi d.o.c. area. The tour finishes in Spoleto built on a hillside with most of the sites in the compact upper town offering a wonderful mix of treasures from Roman, Medieval and Renaissance times. You will have a cooking class and can make a nice walk through the sacred woods of Monteluco.
This walking tour has also a shorter, but not less captivating version of 5 days in which you explore Assisi and Spello, have a wine-tasting and cooking class in an organic winery.
