Our winter break and what’s coming next for food lovers in Umbria

A season of authentic Umbrian food experiences

Umbrian food experiences, Sagraincasa is entering a warm and reflective winter break.
To all our guests who cooked with us, learned with us, or welcomed us into their villas—thank you. Your passion for authentic Umbrian flavours made this one of our most memorable seasons.

What winter means at Sagraincasa: creativity, Umbrian recipes & slow food

Winter in Umbria is a quieter season, but it’s the perfect moment for creativity. Our kitchen continues to evolve through:

  • research on traditional Umbrian recipes
  • testing seasonal local ingredients
  • developing new menus for cooking classes and private dinners
  • strengthening our slow food approach

Sustainability remains a cornerstone of our identity: we collaborate with local farmers, reduce waste as much as possible, and focus on ingredients that respect the rhythm of the Umbrian countryside.

A time to give back: community & food culture in Umbria

This winter also allows us to dedicate time to community projects and volunteer work. Food, for us, is connection—an act of sharing that goes far beyond the plate. Supporting our territory is an essential part of our culinary philosophy.

Spring 2026: new cooking classes, food experiences & private chef services

As we prepare for the new season, we’re working on enhanced experiences for travellers looking to explore Umbria through food, such as:

• Italian cooking classes in Umbria

Hands-on, seasonal, and deeply rooted in family-style Italian cuisine.

• Private chef services in your Villa

Personalized menus that bring the Umbrian countryside directly to your table.

• Farm-to-table experiences

Celebrating local products, small farmers, and Umbrian culinary traditions.

• Seasonal Umbrian menus & new recipes

Inspired by slow food values and crafted with fresh local ingredients.

We can’t wait to welcome you back in spring with new flavours, memorable encounters, and the same warmth that has always defined Sagraincasa.
