Sarà un' esperienza indimenticabile, uscire da Orvieto raggiungendo La Badia e poi attraversando i bellissimi paesaggi che da Canale Nuovo e Boccetta conducono a Civita di Bagnoregio. Casali, cantine, prati dove liberamente pascolano greggi di pecore, boschi di faggi, querce e castagni, fanno da contorno a questo altopiano dove una brezza costante rende piacevoli anche le giornate estive più calde. Arriveremo quindi alla terrazza da cui si ammira l' antica Civita che apparirà improvvisamente in tutta la sua unica bellezza. Percorrendo il ponte come sospesi in aria entriamo nel "Castello nel Cielo", così viene chiamato questo borgo, set cinematografico di grandi grandi film. All' interno dimentichiamo tutti i nostri pensieri, entriamo in un mondo antico, con piccole botteghe dove profumi ed essenze vengono ricavati con antico mestiere. Taverne, osterie, tutte ricavate in ambienti antichissimi ci portano ad entrare per degustare prodotti genuini, vini dei vitigni locali, prodotti tipici del territorio. Torniamo in sella verso Orvieto, ma per un diverso percorso, per sostare alla Terrazza Farnese, il più bel punto punto panoramico da cui scattare indimenticabili foto sulla Rupe. Altre cose da tenere a mente Grande parcheggio nei pressi del rental point, nessun problema per lasciare l' auto anche a lungo; arrivando invece con treno o mezzi pubblici, il rental si trova proprio nella Piazza della Stazione Sanifichiamo le bici dopo ogni utilizzo e prima di uscire. Inoltre forniamo mascherine, guanti e gel

You can reach the meeting point only with the car. Contact me for more information. Other things to note Long trousers are required and it’s necessary to bring a bottle of water for the journey. I also suggest wearing a comfortable pair of boots. Bring a trekking pole if you have one.

We will first have an appetizer to have a chat and to get to know each other. I will be together with my 2 partners as we run the hives together. Then we will have an hour or more of theory about bees and their world: you will understand their circle of life, their duties, how they reproduce themselves, which flowers and plants they do prefer, how bees and beekeepers produce honey, royal jelly, propolis, pollen... Afterwards we will go in the apiary and open some hives and look at them very closed (with protective gears), understanding some apiculture technics and differences between natural hives and rational apiculture. To finish this amazing experience we will taste different local honeys and learn how to analyse the different aromas! Other things to note You will feel surprised how calm bees can be. Despite so, I would not recommend this experience to people strongly allergic to insect bites/stings. In summer it can be extremely hot around midday, that's why we will perform the course during the early morning.

Cominceremo il nostro percorso di degustazione con la visita della cantina del 1300 scavata nel tufo. Qui vi racconterò un po' come veniva utilizzata questa grotta in passato. Dopo la visita sotterranea torneremo su e ci siederemo ai tavoli vista Duomo, se il meteo non lo dovesse permettere la degustazione sarà all'interno, inizieremo ad assaggiare prodotti tipici della norcineria Orvietana come porchetta, salsicce secche e prosciutto ed anche dei formaggi con varie stagionature; il tutto verrà abbinato ai vini della nostra città sia bianco che rosso. Poi come da tradizione finiremo con il vino santo con i tozzetti alle mandorle e nocciole. Altre cose da tenere a mente Quello che mangeremo è adatto anche ai bambini i quali avranno possibilità di scelta di bibite analcoliche
