Tuscia maintains its strong agricultural tradition, as seen in its high number of organic farms and farm holidays and a particular focus on biodiversity. The result of these practices is such delicacies as extra virgin olive oil, wine, vegetables, cured meats and dairy products, all produced with care according to an ancient culinary tradition that makes this region perfect for wine and food lovers.
You’ll dedicate a day to the agricultural activities. You’ll be fascinated by the daily work of the Tuscia farmers, wisely, from centuries, devoted to the production of the food excellences of the territory. According to the season, like a real farmer, you’ll harvest fruit, hazelnuts, grapes or olives and in the afternoon, after enjoying an authentic local lunch, exclusive workshops will teach you to transform the raw products in delicious jam, hazelnut cream, biscuits, tomato paste, vegetables in oil and much more.
