The Polenta Festival + The Ugly Club Festival
Join us the 2 biggest weekends of the year in our tiny village of Piobbico- The Polenta Festival celebrates the age old tradition of the area making polenta over an open fire in a copper cauldron! The second is The Ugly Club Festival!
Watch this video from our guests' stay for the Gourmet Getaway + Ugly Club Festival
If you join us one of these weekends, it is the same itinerary as the Gourmet Getaway however, we will do the cooking class for lunch and then visit the festival on Saturday evening together, stroll through town and up to the castle for stunning views and then feast upon the local festival menu - for both festivals polenta will be served!
And for those with a sense of humor, if you visit during the Ugly Festival - you will be evaluated and inaugurated into the International Club dei Brutti, Ugly Club!
There is an additional charge for the festival dates to include the festivities, dinner & wine.
