Abruzzo’s history and traditions are there to be seen enjoyed and experienced every day, in fact, Abruzzo, is an “Open-Air Museum”. Our selection of historical & cultural tours, will take you through over three thousand years of history from the Bronze Age archaeological sites of Fossa, near L’Aquila, to the Neolithic Walls of Monte Pallano. In other itineraries that we offer we will take you to visit medieval villages perched on the side of the mountains with their iconic castles, fortresses and stunning churches. All of them have their individual history, traditions and culture that are still pretty much part of everyday life for those who still live there with their traditional festivals and local products. A large part of Abruzzo’s history involves WW2 and the story of the Partisans and their heroic actions fighting the German troops stationed along the Gustav Line, from Ortona to Montecassino. We have a dedicated itinerary that will take you to visit the battlefields, war memorials, German Posts and trenches. Here you can relive those times by hearing stories from the people who are keeping the Memory alive for future generations.
Discover Abruzzo's Food and Wine
A Culinary Paradise
In Italy we say “Regione che vai, usanza che trovi”, “Each Region you visit, you will find a unique tradition”. Abruzzo is this multiplied hundred times. The gastronomy traditions differ from one village to the other and the cuisine is flavoursome thanks to the availability of great quality ingredients. The fish freshly caught in the Adriatic Sea and the organically reared free-range meats and cheeses are amongst the best in Italy. In Abruzzo one of the best wines in the world is proudly produced, The Montepulciano D’Abruzzo, the wine of kings.
Our Abruzzo’s Genuine & Authentic Gastronomy Discovery Tours have been created for those who want to immerse themselves in local tradition and learn about typical produce by supporting the local economy. Following a shopping list, you will visit local food markets, food shops and wineries accompanied by your tour guide. The afternoon will be spent in the kitchen under the expert chef’s guidance being taught the different techniques in preparing, cooking and assembling the dishes. Afterwards you will enjoy the fruits of your labour accompanied by a well-deserved glass of wine.
