Full description
This bench is as big as our hunger.
It could not be otherwise, after getting to know the products of the Azienda Agraria Carlo Marco Carini: in the company of a guide, you will delve into the production of wine, oil (and to some extent salami) of this historic Umbrian food and wine company.
And don't miss a picnic of homemade and local products, to be enjoyed in the shade of a colourful giant bench!
What we will do
The appointment is 10 minutes before the selected time at Azienda Agraria Carlo Marco Carini in Canneto, a hamlet of Perugia. We will find our guide waiting for us, who will accompany us on a discovery of this historic (and innovative) Umbrian wine and food reality!
Having gathered all the participants and after an initial welcome, we will each board our own means of transport to reach the production area, which is about 2 minutes away from the meeting point.
Once there, the guided tour of the farm will begin: we will walk through the vineyard and olive grove, discovering the land, the organic philosophy and each raw material. We will then enter the cellar to learn more about wine production, and walk among the characteristic wooden barrels where the classic method sparkling wine is aged. If present, we will not fail to greet the Cinta Senese puppies, an ancient breed bred by the family. This first part will last about 30 minutes.
Finally, we will receive our picnic towel and picnic basket (every 2 adults) and take a seat in the heart of the centuries-old olive grove. Here is a colourful giant bench, on which we can take a nice souvenir photo and in the shade of which we can toast our picnic. The picnic includes Cinta Senese cured meats, cheeses, jams, crostini and bread; accompanied by 1 bottle of DOC Trasimeno wine to choose between Rile and Oscano.
The experience will last about 1 hour in total.
