Undiscovered Italy: Umbria

Umbria, called the “Green Heart of Italy” because of its lush landscape, warm people and central location, has it all — ancient ruins, Renaissance art, scenic landscapes, medieval hill-towns all with exceptional wine and food — truffles, olive oils, chocolates, pasta and more.

Sip wines and nibble gourmet delights as you take a virtual tour of regional highlights:

  • Perugia, a gorgeous virtually car-free jewel of a town, home to Italy’s renowned chocolate maker, Perugina and yearly host to EuroChocolate, Europe’s largest international chocolate festival
  • Assisi, World Heritage Site with two medieval castles, Roman amphitheater and several stunning cathedrals
  • Spoleto’s world-famous music festival
  • Gubbio, a medieval town whose nearby Mont Ingino won the Guinness World Record for world’s largest Christmas tree.
  • Orvieto’s stunning Cathedral & intricate underground Maze

Includes wine and truffle tasting. Truffle products by Umbria’s renowned truffle company, Urbani.
