An Italian travel expert shares the best hidden-gem destinations in Italy to visit in the offseason
Briefly

If you visit Italy in the offseason, you probably won't be eating tomatoes. In the fall and winter, you will eat mushrooms, chestnuts, walnuts, and the delicacies around the holidays - things that you wouldn't be able to taste in July.
The deciduous trees will lose their leaves. In the vineyards, the grape vines will go from bright-green leaves to subtle orange and yellow, giving a unique visual experience.
You get to participate in the harvests and festivals. You can go fruit picking and taste the local specialties without the tourist veil, allowing for an authentic experience.
The beauty of Italy, especially if it's off the beaten path, is that even though towns may be half a mile away from each other, each has their own unique take on the holidays and the fall.
