Enlightened FAMtrips

Day 4 of our FAM to Italy, April 2023:

After a leisurely breakfast at the Castle which consists of delicious fresh pastries, croissants ("cornetto" in Italian"), fresh fruit, as well as waffles among other things and of course a fantastic cappuccino to top it all off! Today is a day dedicated to touring and wine tasting at the Azienda Tilli. Spectacular, breathtaking views and great wine paired with a very nice antipasto. This winery is also family owned, producing some really delicious wines of the region.

Our second winery tour at Dora Sarchese will delight you. From the history of the winery to the spectacular lunch and wine tasting, you will fall in love with this winery!

The next winery, Dora Sarchese, boasts the only fountain in Italy that pours wine! Aside from that, this beautiful winery offers a great selection of wines, one better than the one before it. After touring the winery, we'll be taken upstairs to begin our wine tasting with a 4-course lunch. Trust me, you will NOT go hungry this day!

Back to the hotel, tonight we meet for an amazing 4-course dinner with local wines in the courtyard of the hotel (weather permitting). It's so serene, taking in the beauty of the castle itself and the surrounding landscape.

The rest of the evening is at your leisure. I want to mention also that if you like to take walks in the morning, it's a very peaceful walk down the little country lane outside the castle grounds.

Day 3: Rome to Abruzzo!

After breakfast at the hotel, we will make our way to Sulmona for about a two- hour guided tour of the town.

"Sulmona became a free commune under the Normans. Under Emperor Frederick II an aqueduct was built in the town, one of the most important constructions of the era in the Abruzzo; the emperor made it the capital of a large province, as well the seat of a tribunal and of a fair, which it however lost with the arrival of the Angevins. Despite that, it continued to expand and a new line of walls was added in the 14th century. " - (Excerpt from Wikipedia)

At the end of the guided tour, lunch in a local restaurant and in the afternoon, we will depart for Castello de Septe! "Considered one of the most beautiful Castles in central Italy, Septe has the privilege of an enviable location; stretched out on a hill crest that overlooks the Sangro Valley, our Castle turns towards the sea on one side and towards the Apennines on the other. After a long restoration the Castle is now used as a hotel and has been declared National Monument by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage." https://www.castellodisepte.com

Tonight's dinner will be on the Trabocco - what once were fishing huts and some now converted to open air ristorantes. An experience to enjoy!

Overnight stay in the widespread hotel.
