Mini Break: Italian Food & Wine

Embark on a sensory adventure with our Food and Wine Mini Holiday, a tantalizing fusion of flavors and experiences!

Begin your journey with a welcome drink on the first night of your arrival at Villa Monestevole 501. After breakfast on your first full day with us, you’ll enjoy a picturesque vineyard tour, where rows of lush vines whisper tales of terroir and tradition. After the tour, you’ll savor the essence of each grape variety during a guided wine tasting. Upon leaving the vineyard you’ll enjoy a rustic picnic lunch with a fantastic view of the Umbrian Mountains. Dinner is on your own this night, but we have a few suggestions for hidden gems known only to the locals. Here, you can immerse yourself in the warmth of traditional hospitality as you feast on authentic dishes crafted with love and generations of culinary expertise.

After breakfast on your second day, you’ll have the afternoon to yourself where you can lounge by our plunge pool, take a day trip to one of the fantastic towns within an hour’s drive from the Villa, or choose a different adventure. On your second night, we’ll delve deeper into the nuances of Italian cooking with a hands-on cooking class at the Villa. After the class, we’ll enjoy the spoils of our labor and participate in an Extra Virgin Olive Oil tasting (including the oil from Villa Monestevole 501), where liquid gold reveals its diverse nuances and subtle undertones.

We hope that this weekend with authentic Italian food and wine will create memories that linger long after the weekend fades into memory.
