Five amazing days in Umbria for a Porchetta Tour
May 2018.
We where a small group, just 4 of us 3 from USA and one from England for 5amazing days in Umbria for a Porchetta tour.
We stayed at Alla Madonna del Piatto in sight of Assisi as guest of our gracoius hostess Letizia, We had coking lessons with her and then ate what we had cooked on the terrace over looking a beautiful valley of olives and other plants.
Every day was different, and fun and interesting, Our guide Barbara was wonderful and we had a lot of time to explore the villages we visited and also time to eat and drink and laugh always with a focus on Pork , the pigs and how they lived, how they where prepared for the festival, deboned and stuffed with herbs and salt and pepper and then wrapped and roast . The festival was amazing and we tried pork from many parts of Italy .
Everyone was fun to be with and helpful with our questions , we also had a fine driver and visited vineyards too.
