Between Umbria's rolling hills, vineyards and truffle forests, lies Podere del Buongustaio: your charming base for an intimate, five-day culinary trip. Owner Adje Middelbeek and host Jan Gerard van der Wal (Nobleza) open the doors to hidden villages, family businesses and authentic cuisines.
In the early afternoon, you will arrive at Podere del Buongustaio, where Adje Middelbeek and Jan Gerard will personally welcome you with a sparkling glass of prosecco.
After a relaxing breakfast, we leave for Paolo Bolla's Tenuta Fontesecca. In this organic winery, you can taste the essence of natural wine: pure, elegant and with minimal intervention.
Today we visit the impressive Castello di Montegiove, owned by the Misciattelli family. On an exclusive tour, you'll discover ancient wine cellars, Beata Angelina's historic chapel, and stories that are deeply rooted in Umbrian history.
After breakfast, you'll visit Agricola Bittarelli, a family business that has been working with love on organic legumes, old grains and traditional pasta since 1940. During the tour, you'll discover how passion for quality and respect for the Earth come together in their products.
After breakfast, we say goodbye to each other and with a lot of new impressions and experiences, you can work at home with the inspiration and knowledge gained. Who wants to go back to the Netherlands and for enthusiasts who want to stay in Italy a little longer, they will move on to their next destination.
We travel on a small scale. Podere del Buongustaio can accommodate 5 people; other guests stay in a comfortable apartment near Castello di Montegiove. This way, the experience remains personal and calm.
