Olive Oil Tasting & Focaccia Class in Perugia's Countryside

Uncover the secrets of extra virgin olive oil with a guided tasting on the shores of Lake Trasimeno. Led by a local expert, you’ll explore the aromas and flavors of high-quality oils and learn to recognize their authenticity. Enjoy bruschetta made with artisan bread and enriched with aglione, a local garlic with a bold, aromatic taste. Then, roll up your sleeves for a hands-on focaccia workshop: prepare and bake your own dough in a wood-fired oven using fresh, seasonal ingredients like sage, onions, potatoes, and rosemary. Set in Umbria’s scenic countryside, this experience offers a deep dive into local food traditions in a relaxed lakeside atmosphere. Hosted by Cesarine, Italy’s oldest network of passionate home cooks, it’s more than just a class—it’s a chance to live, cook, and taste like a local. Perfect for food lovers eager to experience authentic flavors and culinary craftsmanship away from the tourist trail.
