The Paths of Flavours

After arriving in the afternoon and settling into our hotel in the welcoming town of Altomonte, a splendid medieval village, listed among the most beautiful villages in Italy, we will stroll through its districts to admire its typical architecture and rich cultural heritage. Altomonte is in fact the "City of Bread", "Green Flag", "Slow City" and preserves priceless treasures: the church of Santa Maria della Consolazione, the Dominican cloister, the convent of the Franciscan Friars Minor, the Pallotta tower, and much more. At the end of our walk, Hotel Barbieri will be waiting for us to enjoy a typical Calabrian lunch, with the simple ingredients and original combinations characteristic of the Mediterranean diet.

We will set off in the morning towards Saracena, at the 'Viola' cellars, to taste the famous 'Moscato', a delicious liqueur wine, a Slow Food presidium, which is produced exclusively in this village in the heart of the Pollino National Park. We will stroll among the vineyards that are the source of this treasure and admire the splendid vines that give Moscato this unique taste. We will return to Altomonte in the afternoon for dinner and an overnight stay.
