All there for you to taste and enjoy
The success of an event that tells you of the flavors and culture of Umbria
Here we are, the great moment is finally here. "Cantine&Chef alla ribalta" (Cellars&chefs on stage), the summer food and wine event we've been waiting for with selected Umbrian wine cellars and renowned Orvieto chefs, begins again bringing the fragrances and flavors of the Umbrian land to the Palazzo del Gusto-Enoteque of San Giovanni.
From July 27th to September 4th, six weeks of guided tasting, with selected wines from six Umbrian cellars, and six dinners with special menus. A whole week will be dedicated to each cellar, so that you can get to know and taste the wines proposed. And every Friday, at 8:30 p.m., a dinner with the chef and the wines of the week.
But that's not all. This year too it will be possible to taste a selection of the best products of the Gust'Arte Association.
The guide “Orvieto in Tavola” was extremely well received when it was presented on February 20 at the stand of the Region of Umbria at the BIT 2009. The presentation was under the auspices of Stefano Cimicchi, the APT Administrator for Umbria, Giuseppe Maria della Fina, the Town Councilor for Tourism and Culture of Orvieto, and Mariella Cosenza, in charge of the project for Officine Comunicazione. A tasting of two Orvieto wines - Terre Vineate (Orvieto Classico DOC, of the Cantina Palazzone) and Piancoleto (IGT red, of the Cantina Custodi, offered by the Enoteca La Loggia) - accompanied by a typical food specialty, lumachelle (offered by Bar Montanucci), made it a special occasion.

Orvieto in tavola is practical and easy to consult . With its amusing and informal language, appealing graphic design, the guide takes the visitor by the hand on a discovery tour of Orvieto, with pauses for refreshment. In other words, a cup of coffee at the best known café in town, the truffled tagiatelle prepared by the best local chefs, the home-made blue-ribbon ice cream, a sip of chilled Orvieto wine served in a real Orvieto cellar and so on.
In other words, restaurants, trattorias, pastry and ice-cream shops, wine libraries and wine bars have a site where they can lay claim to their role as promoters of that culture of good eating and drinking that is the inalienable characteristic of a small historical center like Orvieto. And to those others whose credo is speed, it offers a stimulus and invitation to pause or, at least, take it easy.
The idea is that of giving the visitor a chance for a full immersion in the different aspects of Orvieto, food and wine, art and history, culture and entertainment.
