Claus and Jeanette, co-founders of Borgo Santo Pietro, will personally host you in Tuscany to join them in the epicurean experience of the wine harvest. Much more than a mere agricultural event, it is a celebration of the soul of the community and the land.
The harvest includes picking grapes alongside the workers before enjoying a well-earned Tuscan feast which will be produced by Borgo’s Michelin-starred chefs at trestle tables set up under a large oak tree surrounded by the estate’s wine fields and heralded by the notes of local musicians.
As a part of this “la dolce vita” Borgo Santo Pietro lifestyle, guests are invited to explore the estate, to see the animals at the local farm, and even to take a class from Mama Olga at the cooking school.
The experience includes:
Day One
- Gourmet breakfast;
- Estate tour of the farm and the Borgo animals;
- Collection of still warm, fresh eggs from the hen houses;
- Lunch (where will this be?);
- Discovering the skill of milking the sheep.
Day Two
- Gourmet breakfast;
- Tour of the dairy to learn how to make cheese from ravagiolo, Primo Sale, Robiola, Pecorino, and Ricotta cheese;
- The wine harvest with grape picking and the countryside picnic feast;
- Tour of the herb fields which includes collecting herbs for the local production of essential oils.
