All you ever wanted to know about olive oil can be acquired during a series of weekends in Umbria throughout November and until the 11 December 2011. Organized by the Comunità Montana dei Monti Martani (Martani Mountains Community), Serano and Subasco, in collaboration with the Umbria Olive Oil DOP Route, the initiative involves ten of the prettiest and most interesting old towns of Umbria, with Assisi a new addition this year.

During the weekends, visitors will be able to join in the olive harvest, observe the pressing process, go for treks among the ancient olive groves, participate in free guided tours of the towns involved,  explore olive oil museums and refine their palates at organized olive oil tastings.

In addition, all kinds of entertainment are included in the programme, as well as special events for families and children.
