From September to April, afternoon departures will be scheduled at 3 p.m. to leave the morning free to visit our historic cities or enjoy other activities. The tour package is for a minimum of 6 people.

Every evening, Il Noceto Umbro will also prepare a special dinner according to the theme of the day, to give you the chance to discover and enjoy Umbrian culinary specialties.

Then we will visit an oil mill for a demonstration of how olive oil is made, from pressing to bottling.

During the harvest season, we will also show you how the grapes are picked; during the rest of the year, this will be demonstrated through simulations.

You will be taught basic pottery-making techniques at a Deruta workshop and those who are interested can try working with clay.

For guests who are interested in staying for 10 days, the rest of the stay will be organized with guided tours of some of Umbria’s most important historical areas and artistic cities, such as Assisi, Perugia, Gubbio, Spoleto, Lake Trasimeno and Todi. We can also organize recreational activities with other guests or a guided tour of the Perugina chocolate factory.
