For those who desire a more direct contact with nature and the
Umbrian countryside, starting mid-September certain activities are take place, such as:
-
the GRAPE HARVEST beginning mid-September and lasting approximately 2/3 weeks
-
the OLIVE HARVEST beginning mid-October up to mid-November
You enter the vineyard equipped with a bucket and scissors, it is possible to participate with grape harvest and pressing and then the subsequent transformation into must and then wine; our red and sagrantino wines are excellent to savour with some delicious grilled meats.
Once the grape harvest is over, the activities restart with sheets and rakes to harvest olives, which are then used to produce
our extra virgin olive oil, essential condiment for all our dishes. During the olive harvest period, the Frantoi Aperti (Open Oil Mills) event is a must see, with guided visits and tastings at the main oil mills.
But his is not all, for those that are early risers, it is possible to participate along with Antonio and Moretta (our dog with the unbeatable sense of smell) gathering
Truffles that have matured in the sunny clearings of the
Martani Mountains, hence there is truly something for everyone’s taste.
