They offer an authentic local experience, and are not overtouristed. The Marche region is on the east side of the Italian peninsula bordered by the Apennine mountains on the west and the Adriatic sea on the east, with gorgeous rolling hills and hilltop towns in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ancona, our regional capital, with an international airport and sea port, is the largest city in the Marche with 100,000 inhabitants. Marche is made up of many medieval villages and cities steeped in history with walls and castles. We are a large region with mostly B&amp;Bs and vacation rentals. There are not many large hotels, and not one Marriott.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In many places you might be the only tourist. If you visit a winery, it is probably the owner giving you a tour. In a restaurant, chances are, you\u2019ll meet a family member who owns it. Guided tours are small. The Marche has a long history of craftsmanship and local artisans are happy to share their knowledge. You may be invited to dance with a folkloric group in the piazza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"692\" height=\"692\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.casapaceegioia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Opening-Hours-square.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.casapaceegioia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Opening-Hours-square.jpeg 692w, https:\/\/blog.casapaceegioia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Opening-Hours-square-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.casapaceegioia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Opening-Hours-square-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cSlow Travel\u201d<\/strong> is more of a habit than a trend but it\u2019s also the only way one can travel in the Marche. There is not much that is fast about the Marche. This is, after all, where the shops still close from 1-4 PM every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s impossible to perform hit-and-run tourism here. Our major sites are spread out and there are so many to see that I suggest travelers stay at least one week, if not two, to begin to discover the Marche\u2019s secrets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"692\" height=\"923\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.casapaceegioia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/WIne-in-glasses-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Wine in Glasses\" class=\"wp-image-674\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.casapaceegioia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/WIne-in-glasses-1.jpeg 692w, https:\/\/blog.casapaceegioia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/WIne-in-glasses-1-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cWine and Food Tourism\u201d<\/strong> is expected to increase. We have some amazing grape varieties that grow only here. We have talented wine makers who practice largely organic methods to produce unforgettable and special wines. And we have a delicious and varied culinary tradition that relies on the sea, the hills, and the mountains. Some Italian regions are known for one or two special dishes. We have dozens here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our vacation rental, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casapaceegioia.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Casa Pace e Gioia<\/a>, is located in the Rosso Piceno region, which produces a lovely red wine made since the 10th century BCE using a blend of Montepulciano and Sangiovese grapes. And we are also in Ribona territory. Ribona, which in the local dialect means \u201ctwice good,\u201d is made from a native grape, Maceratino, that grows only here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twenty minutes away, in Serrapatrona, another rare native grape, Vernaccia nera, is used to make a red wine in three different styles. Cultivated on only 163 acres by a handful of producers, Vernaccia can be a dry sparking, a sweet sparkling, or a still wine. Each November over two weekends, the wineries open their doors for tours and tastings and the lovely village of Serrapetrona has a festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Verdicchio is the white wine the Marche is most famous for and it is cultivated in two regions, Jesi and Matelica. We recommend a tasting at each to compare for yourselves the difference!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For food, the Marche has something for everyone. With mountains and the sea, we are known for our fish stew Brodotto; our better than lasagna, Vincisgrassi; our stuffed and fried Olive Ascolane; our spreadable sausage Ciauscolo; our \u201ccooked wine\u201d Vino Cotto; and myriad other delicious traditions that honor the heritage of this largely agricultural area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"692\" height=\"923\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.casapaceegioia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Hiking-Sign.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-643\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.casapaceegioia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Hiking-Sign.jpg 692w, https:\/\/blog.casapaceegioia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Hiking-Sign-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cCalmcations or Quietcations\u201d<\/strong> are for people looking to relax in silence, tranquility, and peace.

The Marche has a variety of vacation rental homes and I would like to promote ours, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casapaceegioia.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Casa Pace e Gioia<\/a>. We can stock the refrigerator for your arrival and have a meal ready to reheat, or arrange for a private chef.

My favorite months here in the Marche are September, October and May. In the fall, we have the grape and olive harvests. Our guests can watch the olive harvest and visit the olive press and see our oil being made. Fall food festivals abound! May brings the poppies and wildflowers and the promise of spring when the food festivals start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, the <strong>2025 Jubilee<\/strong> will largely impact Rome, where they expect 30 million visitors this year. We are a three hour drive from Rome but our local Basilica di San Nicola in Tolentino is one of 7 churches in our province where the faithful who visit can receive the Jubilee indulgence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who knows what this year\u2019s travel future holds, but we hope to see you in the Marche!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every January I receive emails from travel industry publications with their predictions for travel trends in the coming year.
