Duration	6 h

10:00am: You will meet your guide Mary Angela and enjoy a panoramic walk around Perugia’s historical center. Perugia is the capital of Umbria and it is rich in cultural heritage, medieval architecture and art. Renowned for its stunning views, you will take a sneak peak of the entire region from one of the best viewpoint balconies in the city and indulge in the crisp, fresh air.

10:30am: You will continue walking to a local Deruta style ceramic shop, where an exclusive hand painting workshop will be hosted. Deruta is a town in Umbria whose long history of ceramic production dates back to the Middle Ages.

Once at the bottega, you will meet Maria Rita, second generation owner, who will proudly tell you everything about the family’s ancient crafts and the origins of this famous pottery.

She will show you her store and demonstrate how, with her graceful and patient hands, she brings to life the timeless beauty of the Deruta-style art while hand-painting a ceramic vase.

12:00pm: Since Perugia is internationally known to be the capital of Italian chocolate, you will stop and have a fantastic chocolate making workshop at one of the last existing chocolate laboratories of the historical center. Once here, you will meet Giulia, one of the owners and expert chocolatier, and Mary Angela will guide you through a highly informative presentation on cocoa and its origins. You will learn all of the secrets behind the traditional Peruginian art of hand making chocolate and a surprise tasting will delight your tastebuds as you craft your own sweet creation.

1:30pm: We will have a mouthwatering light lunch in one of the oldest cafés of the historical center where local delicacies will be perfectly paired with a great selection of local wines. While you enjoy your meal, Mary Angela will entertain you with a fun and informative wine tasting session.

4:00pm: End of tour and farewell to Mary Angela.
