Discover Le Marche: Vineyards, Fields, Mountains and Sea

The title says it all. Le Marche is many things: vineyards, fields, mountains and the sea. We experienced all of it during our week on the Oldways Culinaria in Le Marche.

Le Marche, sometimes called The Marches, is an Italian region that is much less traveled than its regional neighbors. Oldways has been visiting Le Marche since 2000, always with the idea in mind of bringing a Culinaria to this region that has so much to offer.
