Taste and tradition

There are so many reasons to visit the Marches, a truly surprising region, that can attract even the most demanding visitor. It's a place where travelers can still feel a genuine sense of discovery, authenticity and quiet pleasures. It's a destination where you can sample all the delights of la dolce vita and can almost taste the pioneering spirit among the mountains. You may feel you have crossed a new frontier.
Ancient crafts and cuisine are deeply rooted in old traditions.  Actually dishes are strictly based on local produce, each local area has its distinctive typical gastronomy.

 

 

 

15 doc wines and 5 docg wines go well with the local fish and meat dishes. 

In the Marche region, each hill boasts a rolling vineyard with a typical wine; away from the coast, where seafood prevails, the region's cuisine is staggeringly meat-based.
Here you can taste any type of food, such as home made pasta, strong flavoured cheese, extra virgin olive oil, pork salami, the irresistable oliva all'ascolana, or deep-fried stuffed olive, truffles of different species and mushrooms.

 

During the year a large number of events take place in the Marche; shows, music performances, opera season, theatre and ballet festivals, fun and games. Pretty well every town and village throughout Le Marche has some food or wine event, known as a sagra, usually during the summer months.
