Description

A circular itinerary that will lead us to discover the area surrounding Porchia, an ancient medieval village, now a hamlet of Montalto delle Marche, located near the Menocchia stream. Accompanied by a guide, we will walk along country roads surrounded by olive groves and cultivated fields until we reach the Church of Madonna della Pace.

Once the loop is completed and we return to the fortress, after visiting the picturesque village and learning about its history, it will be time to enjoy the typical flavors of Porchia along with excellent local wine.

The final aperitif/dinner (cured meats, bruschetta with Tenera Ascolana olive oil, handmade gnocchi with tomato sauce from the Valdaso, fruit salad with local fruit from Valdaso, and wines from Gobbi & Mannocchi) costs €20 and must be paid directly at the venue.
