TRIP DETAILS:
DAY 1: Check in at the 4*boutique hotel in Ascoli Piceno. Discover by yourself the city which many call a “volume of art history to consult in the open air”, and there is no doubt it is a display of extraordinary wealth of monuments and styles dating back to different eras. However, Ascoli is also the “town of the hundred towers” and white travertine. This material embellishes the central Piazza del Popolo, an open-air lounge in the historical downtown, which also hosts several jewels of local culture such as the Cathedral.
DAY 2:
After
breakfast discover Offida by
yourself, a picturesque medieval village surrounded by perfectly preserved town
walls, dating back to the twelfth century. Among the numerous cultural
landmarks of the town, there is certainly the Serpente Aureo Theatre, a true
jewel of the Baroque era, housed in the Town Hall. Offida is surrounded by
vineyards and here people can enjoy Rosso Piceno Superiore and Offida wines,
the youngest DOC wines in the area. In the afternoon you will visit a winery in
Ripatransone. The tasting includes DOC and
DOCG wines from Historical Estate Vineyards accompanied by a selection of local
recipes. This experience includes a visit to the cellar that is located next to
the terrace. Enjoy a walk among the vineyards where our Rosso Piceno Superiore
grapes are grown.
DAY 3: Today you will have the opportunity to wear the
apron and learn how to make the famous stuffed olive ascolane, a typical
recipe of the area, appreciated and known all over the world. The chef will guide you step by step: you will learn
which olives to choose, how to piy the olives, how to fill them and how to fry.
In the end, you will taste your preparation accompanied by a glass of wine!
Before we say goodbye to you, we will give you the printed recipe to take away
