A visit to Umbria in the autumn season is a wonderful short break experience.
Not only will you have the main towns to yourself, but the countryside takes on an even more suggestive appearence bathed in gorgeous Autumn colours and limpid sunshine.
But, above all, the food comes into its own as the harvests roll out and succulent flavours hit the kitchens - mushrooms, truffles, polenta, soups, bruschette all lashed with the new olive oil and enjoyed with robust wines.
Happy Cooking, together with AltraUmbria, prepares each year a series of gastronomic tours and tasting proposals from September to the Christmas period.
