What if Corsica revealed its most beautiful side to you in winter?
Far from the hustle and bustle of summer, take the time to discover a more intimate side to the island, at the pace set by its villages, its traditions and the people who bring it to life. Over a long weekend, step inside a vineyard, share in the passion of a family of beekeepers and savour cuisine that reflects the region.
At the heart of this getaway, experience the Fiera di a Castagna in Bocognano, an iconic event in rural Corsica. With producers, craftspeople and chestnut-based specialities, discover a lively and welcoming fair, accompanied by a guide who will reveal its treasures to you.
Three days to meet people, taste, listen and experience Corsica in a different light.
A holiday designed and organised by Corsicatours, in partnership with the Corsican Tourism Agency (ATC), the Corsican Office for Agricultural and Rural Development (ODARC) and the Federation of Rural Agricultural and Craft Fairs of Corsica (FFRAAC), promoting the I Strada di i Sensi and Gusti di Corsica networks.
