Save the dates...

Finally we managed to get the 'Save the Dates' in the post and are relieved that they've survived the Italian Postal Service and are finding their way to you...

Costa degli Ulivi

We drove up to the Agriturismo on Sunday, as we thought it time to try the food and wine...the roomie & I are both passionate about food and eating so it was no hardship.
Agriturismo traditionally means a place where you can sleep and experience rural life whilst eating traditional local food that is often grown at the farm.
Luciana who runs Costa degli Ulivi, makes her own Valpolicella wines, olive oil, marmalades, chutneys and other great produce, the Orange marmalade is something to try!

No decisions for our menu yet, but it's all very exciting to start thinking about which foods will be in season, and we had a great lunch with wonderful friends and explored Luciana's amazing property some more....
