Picnic in the vineyard and gourmet picnic

TAILOR-MADE EXPERIENCE IN UMBRIA BY ARNALDO CAPRAI

Once upon a time, there were trips out of doors, lunches on the grass of the nobility and the more spartan ones with a sack on your shoulder and sandwiches prepared by your mother. The picnic has always had a romantic feel to it and today it is making a comeback to the point that experts assure us that it will be one of the trendiest proposals for summer 2020, thanks to the desire to get out and be in the open air after the long periods forced by the coronavirus within the walls of the home.

A desire for nature and rural atmosphere, a return to the origins, simplicity and tradition that the farm Arnaldo Caprai has been offering its guests the possibility of combining a simple visit to the cellar with a picnic on his estate, between rows of Sagrantino, Sangiovese or Grechettoor on the splendid Belvedere terrace, set among the vineyards and in a panoramic position, in the shade of a centuries-old oak tree.

The Picnic in the vineyard reservations can be made no later than the day before, because everything is prepared express the morning of the visit: omelettes, selected cold meats and cheeses, handmade pasta, soups, salads, desserts, freshly baked bread to be enjoyed with the extra virgin olive oil produced by the farm and, of course, wine. Everyone will receive blankets, pillows, a basket and glasses, filled with everything they need, and will then be able to go in search of their favourite corner where they can spend not only lunch but also the entire afternoon, in total relaxation, until sunset, amidst meadows, lakes, vineyards and the magnificent landscape of Montefalco in the background.

For those who wish, there is also the possibility of having a personal chef available for their picnic: the Gourmet picnicThe winery's resident chef, Salvatore Denaro, will prepare for guests - comfortably seated at their table - a series of typical dishes and a meat grill on the beautiful Belvedere Terrace.
