Hi
We will be in Umbria and Tuscany in October. We are looking for a unique and special to the areas meal/event. In Positano we went to Peter’s Home Cooking and looking for something similar.
We are 4 adults and will have a car.
Thanks
Polly

Hi Polly,
Since you loved Peter’s Home Cooking, you’re definitely looking for something warm and personal rather than just eating at a standard restaurant.
Since you'll have a car in October, a few great options come to mind:
You could do a truffle hunt with a local hunter and his dogs, then head back to a farm to eat what you found with some good wine.
October is also fresh olive oil season, which is pretty special. You can visit a family-run mill to watch them press the fresh oil, and then sit down for a long, rustic meal right there at the farm.
Or, if you want something super intimate, hire a local cook to host the four of you at a rustic farmhouse in Umbria or Tuscany for handmade pasta and home-cooked regional dishes.
Also, if you want to spend a day visiting smaller, out-of-the-way wineries without having to worry about driving, Tours of Tuscany (http://toursoftuscany.it/) is worth checking out for private food and wine trips.
Hope you guys have an incredible time!
