November "the olive harvest"

 

 

For all the cycling tourists who want to come to Umbria on November 1st there is the opportunity to actively participate in an unforgettable experience: the olive harvest. This custom, handed down from father to son for generations, is carried out every year during the autumn and winter seasons.

I would like to let you relive the experience of my grandparents.

They used to get up very early in the morning, eat breakfast and then go to feed the livestock in the stables. After that they would gather all the equipment (rakes ladders, sacks, nets) for the harvest and spend all day long in the fields. It was a true family affair!

Mid-morning they lit the fire for lunch which they ate in the fields; the meat was slowly cooked in the glowing embers of the fire. This was eaten with bread, accompanied with homemade wine straight from their cellar.

But that's not all; we then gather the olives and take them to the oil mill. Then we carry out the milling process in order to produce our oil to the highest quality. This enables us to savour the unique taste. Additionally we enjoy having the knowledge of the origin of the olive oil!

Are you ready for this experience? I invite you to join us!

Dear exhibitors, we are very glad to propose you the second edition of the WTE World heritage tourism expo, an event reserved to the UNESCO sites and cities to be held in Assisi 16 to 18 September 2011.

The excellent results of the first edition induce us to improve both the organizational aspects of the exhibition and the scientific contents to develop during the three meeting days.
We will bring the event forward by about two months, in mid-September when our City is invaded by tourists from all over the world so to rely on a vast public especially on Saturday and Sunday.
The exhibition will offer the exhibitors real chances to get in touch with more than 100 Italian and foreigner Tour Operators that we want to invite to the event considering the enthusiasm shown at the end of the first edition.
The aim is a “circuit-maker” realizing an endearing tourist circuit able to involve a larger number of international tour operators that bring responsible tourists closer to these locations.

Conferences, panel discussions and resuming with journalists and experts will look at the world of the cultural heritage.
Hoping to have you among our exhibitors of the second edition of the WTE, our staff is at your complete disposal to arrange and define together the best and the most efficient presence at our exposition.
