La Tavola Marche is a unique culinary experience where you actively participate in Italian culture through seasonal activities paired with local artisan bakers, farmers, and wine makers while staying in a 300 year-old farmhouse agriturismo. If you are willing to muddy your feet, we'll guide you off the beaten path where you will see Italy at its roots, away from regimented tours, crowds, and outlet malls.
We combine searching for the best seasonal local ingredients, hands-on cooking classes, and the conviviality of the table to help you connect with the people through their food, culture, and terra.

La Tavola Marche combines the almost untouched nature with local cuisine and modern accommodations. The produce is all grown in our organic garden, we cure our own meats & make our own liquors, preserves & jams. Our meat is from local farmers and hunters. Taste local cheeses, wines and other specialities that you'll discover on organized tours with local bakers, farmers and wine makers.

Feast on seasonal culinary delights, prepared by Chef Jason or better yet learn know more about seasonal cooking and the secrets of Italian cooking with a hands-on "farm to the table" cooking class!

What better place to relax than the undiscovered Le Marche, nestled between the Apennine mountains and the Adriatic coast. The area is filled with medieval hilltop towns, green pastures and time-honored culinary traditions.
