A Guide to the Best Fall Activities in Saragano

Truffle Hunting

Umbria is known as the land of truffles, and fall is the peak season for finding these precious fungi. You can book a truffle hunting tour with Aethos. Saragano's truffle hunting tour takes you to explore the woods with a local expert and his dog and then savor a truffle-based menu at CECI, the hotel's restaurant.

Olive Harvesting

Another fall activity that you can't miss in Saragano is olive harvesting. This is a time-honored tradition that involves picking olives by hand from the trees and then pressing them into olive oil. You can participate in this process with Aethos Saragano, which collaborates with Gianni Clerici's family, who has been producing the finest olive oil for generations.
