What to do
At
MARIDIANA there is a well stocked shop where scarves,
sweaters, gloves, throw blankets and bedspreads produced
with the fine fibers of the alpacas and the angora goats
raised in the farm are available for sale. Each of the
products is unique in its style, hand made/handy
crafted, natural coloured, extremely warm and with a
touch of Italian design! We organize, on request,
courses of manual spinning, weaving loom, felt and
natural dyeing as well as courses for the management of
the alpaca. (more

As a member of Le Vie del Buon Gusto Association,
Maridiana can program for you visits to traditional
craft workshops (pottery, woodworking or glass,
processing of honey and wax objects), in cellars for
wine tasting, as well as truffles search.
On request an official interpreter is available in
English and German.
We also organize, on request, specialized weekly
tours in the Umbrian textile field and Delights Week in
Alto Tevere, learning about wholesome food of our land.
