Mediterranean Diet

Experience the Mediterranean Diet as a lifestyle over three days—immersing yourself in the flavors, aromas, and locales where this way of life is an everyday reality. Cilento is a truly unique destination; you will discover it by walking through vineyard rows, watching buffalo graze, and admiring the vast olive groves that drape over the hills like green blankets. This food and wine itinerary highlights the staple dishes of the Mediterranean Diet—recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. While this dietary regimen was the subject of studies by Ancel Keys and his wife, it has actually been part of local wisdom for millennia; indeed, its principles were theorized much earlier by the renowned Sabato Visco of Torchiara—a physiatrist, member of the Accademia dei Lincei in Rome, and a minister in Mussolini’s government.
