The Best of the Best - 2009

At Discovering Italy we had some great journeys throughout 2009 and, as we always hope, began these journeys with clients who became friends.  It is part of what we love, the experience of sharing so many delights up and down this amazing peninsula.

Enjoy it with us! Umbria - and Italy - await you!

NEW: the beer of San Biagio & produce tastings in ASSISI!
Discovering Italy, in collaboration with Umbria in Tour, is delighted to have the opportunity to offer some new and very special tastings to our books. Hidden on the outskirts of Assisi is a simple but beautiful, ancient monastery, right in the area where San Francesco used to go to pray. The monastery has now been restored as an accommodation option with spa pool, restaurant and a chapel for quiet meditation. In the grounds of the monastery is a small, dedicated team bent on reproducing, from traditional recipes of the monks, all the great flavours of the specialist beers, using only the best, holistic ingredients. Together with other small producers who carry the same philosophy of using the best ingredients to reproduce the special products of their forefathers, there is now a cooperative tasting "shop" in the centre of Assisi where we can taste the best of everything. Combined with a guided visit to the Basilicas of San Francesco this becomes a very special day's outing. It is also possible to make a complete program that includes accommodation and beer-making, even using your own preferred flavours if you like. BEER & MEDITATION! Just ask us how . . .
