Il Tempio del Gusto We have a culinary treat in store with a delicous seafood lunch at Il Tempio del Gusto in Spoleto, just a few minutes walk from our hotel and the Piazza del Mercato. In one of Italy’s most charismatic and authentic medieval centres, the restaurant is located in an ancient stone-walled building with extensive underground wine cellars. We can look forward to chef-inspired dishes using the freshest Umbrian produce paired with delicous Umbrian wines and served with impeccable, yet friendly service from the third generation of family owners.
La Fonte di Bevagna La Fonte di Bevagna is one of Umbria’s most authentic agriturismo and wineries producing organic wine and their own top-notch olive oil. In a peaceful setting, La Fonte’s original Umbrian farm-house is nestled in the middle of the Umbrian countryside, and at the head of the famous Montefalco wine valley. We will learn all about this unique artisanal set up with an intriguing tour and wine tasting with Francesco, the owner and winemaker. Afterwards, we will sample five delicious wines accompanied by a selection of cured meats, traditional cheeses, bread and olive oil – salute!
