The “Escursioni del gusto” are walking tours designed to help you discover the beauty and flavors of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, taking you on a journey through beauty and deliciousness along routes that explore the places where traditional local products are made and meet their producers. Along country roads, vineyards, trails, and the narrow streets of ancient villages, as well as sites of historical interest, you’ll discover the historical, artistic, and natural beauty of our region, culminating at a local farm where you’ll enjoy a tasting of wines and traditional products.
