Holiday apartment in Cimbano: wine, vineyards and Picnicco

Cimbano is a small rural settlement at 369 metres above sea level and is one of the localities of Vaiano. Vaiano lies in the hills between the Valdichiana and Lake Trasimeno. Cimbano is also part of the ridge system between Chiugi and Lake Trasimeno.

In Cimbano, wine, regional products and walks come together with the seasonal Picnicco event. Madrevite and Picnicco are two specific points of reference for this in Cimbano.

Wine, vineyards and regional products

Madrevite in Cimbano offers visitor experiences featuring Umbrian wine tastings, walks through the vineyards and samples of local products. Visits begin with a walk through the vineyards and a century-old olive grove. At Madrevite, the walk through the vineyards and olive grove can be planned as the first part of a visit, followed by a wine tasting and samples of local products. In addition to wine, Madrevite produces Fagiolina del Trasimeno, chickpeas and extra virgin olive oil.

Picnicco for families

Picnicco at Madrevite in Cimbano is a seasonal event. It takes place on Saturdays and Sundays from May to September and depends on the prevailing weather conditions. For Picnicco, May to September and the weekend days are fixed points to consider when planning a visit to Cimbano. The prevailing weather conditions are part of planning a Picnicco visit in Cimbano. Picnicco features local food trucks, wine, music and entertainment. The event is suitable for families; the food trucks also offer suitable dishes for small children.

Picnicco therefore represents a different part of the day from the wine tasting or the vineyard walk.

Walks and hiking in Cimbano

The rural character of the settlement and the ridge system between Chiugi and Lake Trasimeno give Cimbano a clearly defined landscape setting. A hiking route in Cimbano involves approximately 230 metres of total ascent. The approximate 230 metres of ascent provide a specific planning figure for a day of hiking that combines wine and landscape experiences.

A regional hiking event began opposite the Madrevite winery in Cimbano and ended with a small tasting of the wines produced by this winery. The small tasting at the end of the regional hiking event can also be planned as a separate conclusion to a day in Cimbano.
