Discover Le Marche
Slow Food - Artisan Products - History - Culture and La Dolce Vita
Let’s take one step away from Tuscany to discover breathtaking undiscovered places where mass tourism hasn’t spoilt the charm yet. When you visit authentic places like Le Marche, you will inevitably be struck by wonderful bucolic landscape, rich cultural heritage, historic architecture and high quality local products. The economy of this region has traditionally been based on agriculture and fantastic handcrafted products. Most of local artisans work in small family-run businesses that used to hand down inherited skills from one generation to the next: many of them still work by hand and almost without mechanization in spite of the demands of the global market.
Thanks to this tour you could meet local artisans, taste authentic food and wines and experience the true rural life.
