From Farm to Table
What are the Food and Wine Itineraries "From Farm to Table"?
A place where we meet producers who open their doors to food and wine experiences.
They contain five main itineraries subdivided into 17 routes that identify and locate these producers, tell us about their companies and products, and show us what we have to do to stop by.
In each route there is a map and a set of suggestions that you may follow as it pleases you, depending on your particular interests, the time you have, the season of the year and the producers’ availability.
It is a challenge to travelers who like to organize their own expeditions.
A priceless guide to professionals who aim to enrich their offer by adding the region’s flavors and the direct contact with the producers.
