Enogastronomic and Cookery course tours
in Le Marche, Italy during May, June and November 2006

Presented by Fine Wines of Italy Ltd.

The vineyards and rolling hills of Piceno beside the Adriatic sea

This year, we are launching our new cookery, wine and culture courses hosted by the Seghetti-Panichi family on their private estate in Le Marche only a few minutes drive from the Adriatic Sea. We are offering four and five day courses in this very romantic and still little known tourist area of Italy during the months of May, June and November in 2006.

The family’s Borgo Storico

The self contained apartments in the grounds

You arrive at Ancona airport to be collected with others in your party and taken by mini bus to the Borgo Storico at Castel di Lame where you will stay in a beautiful self contained apartment. Cookery courses will take place in the private family restaurant and you will also visit local vineyards to taste the wines and meet the families who produce them.

Site-seeing tours to nearby Offida and the ancient city of Ascoli Piceno are also provided and you will be taken everywhere by minibus so no need to worry about driving - especially with so many beautiful wines to taste!

The church at Offida: Chiesa di Santa Maria della Rocca


Ascoli Piceno: piazza del popolo

The accommodation is excellent with first class living standards in all apartments and a private swimming pool for guests, located in the estate gardens:

A superb evening with dinner accompanied by wines produced by the Seghetti-Panichi family is also provided at La Crossette, a highly regarded local seafood restaurant in nearby San Benedetto.
