Reveling in the new olive oil at an Assisi area olive mill
November is bellissimo in Umbria, ie, fewer tourists and much to do: olive oil mills are open all over the region offering the newly milled oil on bruschetta to visitors, eg in Castel Ritaldi, Spoleto on Nov 5, 6 – in Gualdo Catteneo on the 20th (and in Spoleto too on the 20th, 27th) – and in Giano dell Umbria week-end of the 27th.
Nov 11th is the feast of St. Martin and Umbrians celebrate by roasting chestnuts and tasting the new wines.
The truffle fair in Valtopina – during the last two week-ends in November – offers truffle dishes and other Umbrian delicacies to visitors.
December 3 to 5 is the “Oro di Spello” (“gold of Spello”) festival, celebrating its famed olive oils. December 7th celebrates the arrival of la Madonna in Umbria!

Hi, My husband and I will be in Assisi November 5th and 6th 2017 Do you know of any groves that will be doing a pressing, presentation, tour, etc. during those two days. We would really love to go; it’s one of the top things on our list.
Many thanks, Pam Bloch
