Cooking and Walking in Le Marche

Le Marche has been called by an Italian critic Toscana per i furbi ("Tuscany for the clever"). Trying not to exaggerate, it could be pointed out that the food is better, the countryside prettier, the inhabitants friendlier, and the prices much lower. But then that's coming from someone who has lived in Le Marche for over ten years (Girosole founder and director Peter Crawford) and who loves its untouristed, charming hilltowns and countryside. With some trepidation, therefore, he has allowed the addition of yet another tour in this ("his") pretty region, this time a cooking tour to complement our self-guided and guided walking tours. You'll spend five days with a local family which owns a small countryside inn, a local tradition for five generations. Along with learning to cook distinctly marchigiana specialties like vincis grassi (a particularly delectable lasagna-style dish) you'll get to go wine-tasting, walking and truffle hunting – and whoever finds the biggest truffle gets a prize ciavuscolo (sorry, you'll just have to come over for the translation of that one).

Highlights

  • Learn Marchegiani cooking from a professional chef
  • Take daily walks in the lovely countryside of Le Marche
  • Explore the towns of Camerino, Tolentino and San Severino
