Umbria for #winelovers/13

View from the L’Hotel Albergo Duomo


Staying near Terni for Umbria for #winelovers/13. I arrived yesterday evening and the four day event started this morning. The event is being held in Terni but we are staying in the L’Hotel Albergo Duomo in the little hillside town of San Gemini.

Last night we had dinner at La Palazzola winery owned by Stefan Grilli. Some photos here from the evening.
