Fall may be our favorite time of year in Umbria, in large part because of two major harvests that take place — grapes and olives. This 8-day tour gives you a chance to harvest one or the other and see and taste the literal fruits of your labors. Seasonal highlights include: 

• Participating in the vendemmia (grape harvest) or raccolta delle olivi (olive harvest)
• Enjoying a bountiful lunch for the hard-working harvesters, prepared by Franca
• Helping press the grapes, or a trip to the oil mill to watch the olives be pressed
• Sampling seasonal fare, like porcini mushrooms, chestnuts, and more
