Umbria is famous for its rustic cuisine and local produce. Let's plunge together into a gastronomic adventure rich in flavours in this enchanting region, where each dish reflects the local traditions and terroir.
Umbrian cuisine is full of dishes and products that will delight your taste buds. We start with the delicious black truffles of Norcia, which add a touch of sophistication to dishes such as pasta with porcini mushrooms, a forest speciality from the surrounding mountains. For a more daring flavour, porchetta, a roast pig flavoured with herbs, is a must, combining crunchiness and tenderness. Last but not least, don't miss Pecorino d'Umbria, a local cheese with a distinctive flavour, which goes perfectly with local wines or a simple slice of fresh bread.
For a complete gourmet experience, the traditional markets and vineyards are a must. At the Foligno market, browse the stalls brimming with fresh produce: garden vegetables, artisanal cured meats and, of course, the local truffles. Leaving the town, we make our way to the Montefalco vineyards, renowned for their Sagrantino grapes. Wine tastings reveal the deep nuances of these refined vintages. And to perfect our culinary skills, let's take part in an Umbrian cooking workshop, where passionate chefs willingly share their secrets and techniques for reproducing these authentic flavours at home.
At Villa Allegria, you'll be in a veritable haven of peace for a gourmet getaway that will awaken your senses and transform your stay into a memorable culinary experience.
