What You’ll Love about Your Week in Le Marche
The title says it all. Le Marche is many things: vineyards, fields, mountains and the sea. You’ll experience all of it during your week on the Oldways Culinaria in Le Marche.
Tenuta Santi Giacomo e Filippo – our hotel and home away from home – is both field and vineyard, producing wine and olive oil. We’ll learn about wine from our hosts, as well as the Guerrieri family, who also produce wine and extra virgin olive oil, as well as pasta. We’ll visit a pasta producer – Girolomoni (sold in the US) – and have the great experience of watching pasta production followed by an agroturismo dinner in a former monastery.
We’ll continue our focus on traditional ingredients with an Oldways Festa (festival) up in the mountains. With long distances and many winding roads, we’re bringing a number of traditional ingredients to a mountain town and creating our own food festival, aided by local chefs and Chef Michael Lombardi who is traveling with us. Chef Michael will also teach us with a cooking class at Tenuta Santi Giacomo e Filippo. His knowledge, and that of our culinary guide, Alice Rossi, will be valuable every day as we encounter local products and experience special meals. You may think of autumn as the time of truffles, but in Le Marche, May and June are prime months for black truffles.
Le Marche is not without its history – and we’ll be diving into history in both Urbino and Pesaro with a locally guided tour.
