The 10 Best Food & Drink in Perugia, Umbria
This picturesque Umbrian city has a history that spans many eras. The city wall and arch are Etruscan; the sixth-century Sant'Angelo church was built atop a Roman temple; the town's cathedral is both Gothic and Renaissance. If you have a sweet tooth, visit the famous Perugina chocolate factory; if you have a full set of sweet teeth, visit during the Eurochocolate festival, held in October, when the entire town reportedly smells of chocolate.

We are visiting and staying in Italy for an extended period. One of the things we wanted to do was cooking lessons on local Umbrian meals. Tita & Noni were recommended to us. I must say I had the most enjoyable and fun filled home cooking class. The recipes were simple and easy. The tips and tricks are priceless! Something that I can cook up at home with ingredients that are easily available back in Canada! The end results were delicious (I have attached some photos) ... and we cooked it ourselves! I will absolutely recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone who are looking for a cooking class while in the Umbrian region.

I was fortunate enough to be invited to join a group of 6 others for this very informative and highly enjoyable wine tour with the tour owner/operator Barbara. We were picked up from our hotel in Perugia and comfortably driven to a lovely little winery where we sampled regional wines, small tastes of meat, cheese and delicious jam, and extra virgin olive oils which the winery also manufactured. Our vineyard host (and her sweet dog who escorted us both into and out of the property) was very welcoming and educational. Had a delicious fresh fig from one of their trees as well. After that, we were driven to a beautiful restaurant in the region for one of the best lunches I had in Umbria — lots of fresh amazingly tasty food and more regional wine! And finally, more wine tasting and tour at a very different, modern winery nearby. A wonderful experience and a terrific way to spend a day with new friends. Thank you Barbara for a great job of putting our tour together. I strongly recommend your services. Grazzi and Ciao. M

Set in a remote part of the countryside, Vineria del Carmine is well worth making a trip for. The whole wine tasting experience was a delight from start to finish. Each wine was explained in detail and we enjoyed the food pairings just as much; the homemade truffle delicacies were delicious, and the homemade olive oil is still 'the best we've ever had'. After spending time looking around the vineyard, I am really looking forward to seeing how Vineria del Carmine grows, as they look to bring production in-house and really expand their offering... think this means we need a trip back! Special shoutout to our sommelier, Matteus, who led the wine tasting!
