Tuscany
is famous worldwide for its excellent
production of wine thanks to its
unique D.O.C., I.G.T. and D.O.C.G.
wines. While visiting the region
one needs to experience this important
aspect of the local farming production.
Arianna & Friends organizes exciting
more-day grape harvest holidays as
well as single half-day grape harvest
experiences to learn all about
the process of winemaking.
GRAPE HARVEST HOLIDAY
We
can customize a grape harvest wine
holiday of some days for you in
our best properties, where we provide
accommodation and dinners. You can
live in the farm in elegant apartments
with breakfast and work together
with the farmers in the vineyards,
picking the grapes and bringing them
to the cellar. You can also assist
the farmers in starting the process
of squeezing the grapes and learn
all the secrets of the fermentation
stage before passing to the ageing.
As in the tradition you have a pick-nick
lunch in the vineyards with Tuscan
sausages, cheese, salami, prosciutto
and red wine. In the evening you get
back to the apartments and have dinner
in kitchen of the property.
It is the best way for you to discover
the enchanting world of
wine-making "on the ground".
You learn how this traditional farming
is deeply rooted in the local tradition
of Tuscany.
HALF-DAY GRAPE HARVEST EXPERIENCE
Our grape harvest experience can also
be organized for a half day only.
You reach our property and start working
with the farmers in the morning. After
2/3 hours working, we arrange a pick-nick
lunch for you in the vineyards
with Tuscan delicatessen and wine.
See rates below.

We wanted to thank your staff

out visiting two wineries and
lunch on Monday 13 October.
We had a great time and Karine

I can't remember the drivers

thanks, he was smooth and careful.
A great day for me and my family
