Via Umbria’s Top Seven Resolutions for a Fuller Life

We make New Years resolutions for many reasons (and break them for many more). This year, make a resolution you are excited to keep, and aim to change your lifestyle in small ways that will feed you emotionally and physically.
With the New Year looming, resolve to bring new experiences into your life, and have fun while doing it.

Via Umbria’s Top Seven Resolutions for a Fuller Life

Rissa Miller Ravioli

Resolution #1: Learn to Cook.

Solution: Stop squinting at recipes on your computer screen and join one of our fun, relaxed, interactive classes. Sip a glass of our Italian wine while you laugh with new friends and learn simple techniques from our favorite Umbrian Chef, Simone!

Italian cooking is simple at its heart, and there’s no better place to learn the basic steps you can take to improve your kitchen game than in our brand new laboratorio.

Make 2016 the year you answer the question “what’s for dinner?” with enthusiasm and ease. Take the first step towards that goal by signing up for one of Chef Simone’s Umbrian cooking classes, here for a limited time in January.

Resolution #2: Indulge in the finer things in life.

Solution: Italians know that nothing makes a day special quite like surrounding yourself with the finest things life has to offer, and for us, that means making every meal a celebration.

Every time we return to Italy we are reminded that Italians know how to work the finer things in life into their daily routines, and in 2016 we are dedicated to following their example.

Did you forget to celebrate the New Year in style with caviar and bubbles? Via Umbria now has sparkling wine, caviar, and blini – stop in and stock up and turn any day into a momentous foodie moment in the New Year. Or stop by our store to peruse our ceramics collection – eating off a work of art is a luxury that will make every meal feel special.

Resolution #3: Travel more

Solution: What are your favorite memories from 2015? Do some of them involve traveling with loved ones? Here at Via Umbria some of our most cherished moments from the past year are our times in Italy.

In the upcoming year, book the remarkable getaway you’ve always dreamed of. Spend a week at the Fattoria del Gelso with those you love – with spacious accommodations that can house up to 16 of your closest friends and family, there is no excuse for leaving anyone behind.

For those of you eager for a family-free (and stress-free) excursion, Bill and Suzy’s tours are a perfect opportunity to relax and let someone else guide you through the wonders of Umbria. Engage with a new part of the world as Bill and Suzy show you their Umbria and help you experience the ‘Green Heart of Italy’ as locals, not as tourists. They will take you to their favorite restaurants, run by families who have become close friends and whose love for the land and its bounty is apparent in every dish. They’ll share with you the history and art that is found in the area’s museums, galleries and excavations, as well as in the streets of the many significant towns of the region. You’ll spend time in the company of locals who embody the hospitality and grace of Umbria.  Sign up now before it’s too late! Vinopalooza (April 17-23), Cucinapalooza (April 11-17), and our Food and Wine Tours (October 15-21 and 22-28) are three fantastic options.

Resolution #4: Savor Richer Flavors 

Solution: Eat amazing cheese! Come in and talk with our friendly cheesemonger (the Cheese Whiz) and find your new favorite snack, or let them help you create the perfect cheese plate for your next party, hassle free.

Just as Italians make a weekly stop at the local latteria, getting the most flavorful cheese at our counter is guaranteed to improve your quality of life. You deserve some good, quality cheese in the New Year.

_DSC0098

Resolution #5: Discover a new favorite wine

Solution: Be a little adventurous. Come browse our selection of unique, small production wines, large enough to comprehensively cover Italy but manageable enough not to be overwhelmed. Our nonjudgmental, Italian-only approach to wines will make you feel stimulated and satisfied. Come to one of our complementary tastings every day to learn about our curated selection – our Wine Director would love to talk to you!

For a unique experience, sign up to wine and dine with Chef and Wine Director Vickie Reh as she hosts a series of curated wine dinners in our Enoteca throughout January. Be surrounded by the wines you drink with your food in this immersive experience!  For reservations, book here.

Resolution #6: Discover the perfect “happy hour”

Solution: Italians know how to relax. Bring some of this spirit to your new year and wind down in our cafe during Spritz O’Clock!

Every day in the cafe from 5-7 PM, enjoy a new take on the traditional ‘bar snacks’ with our rotating menu of small plates for one or to share, and pair it with our favorite Italian cocktails or a glass of wine.

Meet new people as you snack on the bites found in bars and cafes across Italy. It’s an Italian piazza here in Georgetown.

_DSC0493

Resolution #7: Share new experiences

Solution: Would you like to expand your network of amici in 2016? To make meaningful connections with your neighbors? Make new friends (and bring the old) when you dine at one of our communal tables.

Whether you are enjoying a lively feast in our Laboratorio (kitchen), or a more intimate celebration in our Enoteca (Wine Room), there is no better place to come together for an exceptional, one-of-a-kind evening. With our ever-changing menus, we have an approach to dining that will redefine the idea of “eat local” with “eat convivially.” Combine that with our open kitchen design, which gives you the ability to watch your food being made, and interact with your Chef throughout the meal, and you will find that this is one resolution that you’ll be sticking to long after the New Year.

_DSC0072

At Via Umbria we strive to create Italian experiences right here in Washington, DC. So our ultimate resolution for 2016 is to enrich our lives with the things that really feed our soul – starting with the above list. In the words of our owner, Bill Menard:

“After our first night back in Umbria, following a day of discovery, of enjoyment, of relaxing and of peace and contentment, perhaps we are inching closer to understanding the secret that is Italy. Perhaps it is not one thing that makes Italy Italy, perhaps it is the sweep, the bounty of this place. But those things – the food, the wine, the landscape, the history, the art, the lyrical language, crazy drivers in tiny cars and museum-like cities – they are not the answer themselves. They are the things that satisfy the cravings that Suzy has. That I have. That our tour guests have. That Ernesto and Simone have. Each craving personal, each craving as deep as the soul and each craving desperately in search of satisfaction. Put simply, Italy feeds what you hunger for.”

 

Happy New Year from Via Umbria!

 

We make New Years resolutions for many reasons (and break them for many more). This year, make a resolution you are excited ...

Dairy Daze

_DSC0309

Via Umbria announces the addition of eggs, yogurt, and milk to its specialty market.  In keeping with our business ethos, these high quality dairy products support small production and relationship-based partnerships. These fresh, delicious pantry staples are now available to customers for purchase, and are also used in the food prepared in the kitchen for café, eat-in and carry away dinners.

Georgetown residents can come into Via Umbria for ingredients to put together delicious meals, all in one place.  Pass the two big tables holding fresh farm produce, pass the glass case holding the specialty meats, and then pass the local and imported gourmet cheeses, and on over to the eggs and dairy.

“We are committed to small production, and the finest quality foods that you want to eat and serve people you care about,” said one of the owners, Suzy Menard.

_DSC0316

 

Whether you’re using the farm fresh eggs from Natures Yolk to make a batch of homemade pasta, (which you may want to mix with some of the Umbrian imported pasta sauces also available), or lightly scrambling and adding a little white truffle, these eggs will get your attention with their vibrant color and creamy taste.

The milk comes from Pennsylvania farm, Trickling Springs, where the milk comes from “cows that get all the sunshine and grass that they want,” which translates into quality and taste for the drinker, and a conscious purchase for the customer.

The yogurt is from Pennsylvania’s Pequea Valley Farms, handcrafted from the milk of grass-fed Jersey cows which produce the richest milk.  This yogurt is completely free of antibiotics and hormones, with a creamy, delicious taste.

So come on in and get your calcium!

For information on the menus, classes and the latest fresh foods, send an email to feedme@viaumbria.

Guest Post – Oliver’s Travels

Last week, our friends over at Oliver’s Travels interviewed us about the Green Heart of Italy. Today, we share their top 10 reasons for visiting this fantastic region. 

The Top 10 Reasons to Visit Umbria

It might be landlocked, but to overlook Umbria is to overlook one of the best-kept secrets in Italy. Often overshadowed by its grandstanding neighbor Tuscany, Umbria is smaller, quieter and much less crowded. If you’re looking for a true Italian experience, try staying in a wonderful villa in Umbria and enjoying the hilly landscapes and sumptuous local produce. It’s a world away from a hectic city break, and much more relaxing too.

Still need convincing? Here’s 10 great reasons why you should choose Umbria for your next Italian adventure!

1. It does one Italian staple better than anyone

Mancino Olive Oil
Mancino Olive Oil

And what staple is that, you might ask? Easy – olive oil. Umbria is often (and rightfully) lauded for the standard of its produce, and it’s particularly true of its olives and the oil they produce. If you’re over, be sure to pick up a bottle or two to bring a zesty new dimension to your home cooking, whether that’s in salads, sauces or just enjoyed with a hunk of ciabatta and a bit of balsamic vinegar!

2. And another less well, but that doesn’t really matter!

Pardi Cantina Montefalco Rosso
Pardi Cantina Montefalco Rosso

For a long time, Umbrian wine was seen as a poor cousin of more famous vintages, particularly those from Tuscany. However, in recent years Umbrian wine has been enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and Sagrantino di Montefalco wines in particular are fast making a name for themselves, so make sure you keep an eye out.

3. And the landscape adds to the charm! 

Umbria Travel 007

The landscape in Umbria is remarkably hilly, and while you’ll find some of those hills topped with the aforementioned vineyards and wineries, others are crowned by beautiful and charming towns. Spoleto, Gubbio and Assisi are easy to reach and enchanting to explore, with plenty to see and do and each with their own quaint appeal.

4. As well as taking you back in time

Umbria Travel 003

History buffs and those with a bit of romanticism in their hearts will have another reason to enjoy Umbria’s hilltop towns, particularly Spello, Gubbio and Perugia. They all retain a wealth of their medieval (and sometimes even Roman!) architecture, taking you right back to the days of the Renaissance and beyond.

5. Italy’s “Green Heart” is also a foodie heaven!

Via Umbria Pasta

Umbria is nicknamed the “Green Heart of Italy” and it’s not just because of the lush, verdant landscape is, well… so green. It’s also celebrated for the magnificent produce grown and reared on the fertile land, produce that goes way beyond grapes and olives. From charcuterie to mushrooms, from trout to asparagus, when it comes to fresh, fantastic food Umbria is probably the best region of Italy to head to.

6. And carnivores have one huge treat waiting for them…

Porchetta
Porchetta

If you’ve ever tried a roast pork sandwich you’ll know how well hot, juicy pork, sweet apple sauce and crispy crackling go when stuffed between two hunks of soft white bread. In Umbria this is taken to the next level with Porchetta, deboned pig stuffed with fennel and spit roasted, then sliced and crammed between slices of fresh Italian bread. It is, quite simply, irresistible.

7. And gourmet eaters are served even better!

Umbrian Truffles

Remember how just a couple of entries ago we were talking about how there’s so much wonderful produce coming out of Umbria? There was one we didn’t mention, and it’s one of Umbria’s most prized exports – truffles. But it’s not just hyper-expensive mushrooms that’ll tickle your gourmet palate. Umbria’s humble lentils are prized by chefs and foodies throughout the world – so make sure you try some if you visit.

8. It has a chocolate festival

Perugina

Sticking with food (because it’s seriously one of the best things about Umbria) Perugia is a major producer of quality chocolates, which culminates in Eurochocolate, a week long festival celebrating all things chocolatey. And yes, free samples are given out – up to a million of them each year, in fact.

9. There’s plenty of stuff to keep you fit and active

IMG_20141027_131920

Nearly 10% of Umbria is taken up by protected parklands and nature reserves, which make a great place to head for the day if you feel like enjoying the open air. Walking, rafting and mountain biking are perennially popular, but if you want to experience the landscape in a whole new way, try heading through on horseback. The kids will love it!

10. And there’s some truly magical places to stay

The pool at La Fattoria del Gelso in Cannara
The pool at La Fattoria del Gelso in Cannara

There’s an absolutely massive choice when it comes to hotels and holiday homes in Italy, but some of the luxury Umbrian villas available make the very best of staying in the glorious countryside while providing the best creature comforts including wifi, swimming pools and a whole lot more. It’s by far the most authentic and most enjoyable way to experience Italy’s most underrated region!

Noteworthy Notizie – August 28th

Aperol Spritz Via Umbria

Welcome to Friday Dolce Vita readers! We just got a container from Italy to restock on some much loved goodies…and we have some fabulous new products for you too! Stay tuned!

Construction continues at the store as we get closer to our goal of opening in the fall. And we are also hard at work improving bugs in our website, and developing a platform to buy our wines online!

But enough about us, here is what has been going on in the Italian world this week.

 

– CNN tallies the growing death toll of the European migrant crisis, many of which pass through Italy.

– However, on a small positive note, 3,000 migrants were rescued by Italians in the Mediterranean this week.

 

– Now for some less grim news. The New York times writes about Italian neighbors who built a real-life social network through an online social network. A delightful story of cooperation in a neighborhood that makes us feel all warm and fuzzy about Italian life.

 

– In the gossip column, Jozef Wesolowski, a papal ambassador and the highest-ranking Catholic official to be put on trial for child abuse and child pornography charges, died in his room early Friday. He was scheduled to be on trial last month, but it was delayed when he fell ill. We guess retribution will come in heaven.

 

– Via Umbria is interviewed for the travel blog Oliver’s Travels!

 

– There’s a great deal of public awareness in Italy about celiac disease. All Italian children are tested for it by the age of 6! Italian restaurants are becoming more celiac friendly, NPR reports, because they truly feel pity for those who cannot participate in the most important aspect of Italian culture: eating together. Did you know we carry gluten-free pastas made it Italy right here in the us at Emporio?

 

– Italy is cracking down on Mafia corruption in Rome. A trial of 59 defendants caught up in the Mafia Capital scandal is due to start on Nov. 5.

 

Cheers to the week-end!
