Gourmet Tasting
Umbrian wines, organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil and food!
Our most popular Additional Activity offering is the Gourmet Wine and Olive Oil Tasting of our very own Genius Loci Extra Virgin Olive Oil and our four Genius Loci wines.
The relaxed tasting is accompanied by a lavish array of experience-enhancing gourmet specialties which allows us to pair the wines and olive oil to the various foods in order to fully appreciate how this changes the tasting experience.
While enjoying these food specialties, we discuss the world of olive oil: the picking, the pressing process and the remarkable health benefits of Early Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
As we taste our Genius Loci Sagrantino DOCG, Rosso di Montefalco DOC, Grechetto IGT and Sagrantino Passito, we explore the fascinating world of wine-making.
Guests refer to this Gourmet Tasting as one of the highlights of their trip. Mary prepares and personally conducts the Tasting from 5:00 to 7:00 PM.
To assist us with planning, we kindly ask you to book the Gourmet Tasting at the time of booking your stay OR at least several weeks ahead.
The Gourmet Tasting is offered at €95 per person (minimum 2 participants) from 5:00 to 7:00 PM and easily – and usually does – take the place of dinner that night.
Please note that if you think you will be able to arrive and check-in no later than 4:00 PM, we can schedule this Tasting on that arrival day at 5:00 so that you won’t need to go out to dinner after your traveling that day.
