GREEN WEEKEND WITH FORAGING AND BRUNELLO
MAY 3rd to 5th IN TUSCANY, AT THE FATTORIA DEL COLLE, FOR A WEEKEND WITH NATURE AND GREAT RED WINES: FORAGING IN THE FIELDS, WOODS AND GARDEN WITH OUTDOOR SNACK
vegetable garden with spontaneous herbs
When spring covers the Tuscan hills with a green blanket, walks have an extraordinary regenerating capacity. They call it landscape therapy and it is an antidote to the stress of our time.
This is especially true in places that keep their past intact, such as Fattoria del Colle, surrounded by the most beautiful countryside in the world, partly inscribed in the UNESCO heritage list precisely for its historicity and harmony: the Val d’Orcia and the Crete Senesi .
Added to this is the organic cultivation of the entire Colle farm (336 hectares) which allows you to walk, stop and collect herbs to eat in a preserved and respected nature. Last, but not least, the two cellars for the production of Premium wines intended for exclusive customers in 44 foreign markets: Brunello, Chianti Superiore, Orcia and Supertuscan. The visit to the production sites and the tasting, but also the pairing with delicious traditional dishes, in the Fattoria del Colle restaurant, complete a weekend dedicated to tradition and nature.
FORAGING AND EXPERIENCES IN THE WINERY AND WITH WINE
The highlight of this weekend is FORAGING. A walk that lasts an hour and a half in the fields and woods, with an
Fattoria del Colle – Trequanda
environmental guide who explains the properties and legends of the Tuscan wild herbs who helps to collect them in the vegetable garden and then a picnic in the park of the old oil mill based on “cacio e baccelli” fresh pecorino and fava beans, bruschetta or panzanella accompanied by the new IGT Toscana Bianco Sanchimento 2023.
The experience with nature can be continued alone. At the Fattoria del Colle there are 3 nature trails marked and equipped with signs explaining the plants and animals. For photography lovers there is a small photographic safari to take selfies and immortalize the most beautiful views.
Obviously, wine plays a leading role with the visit to the two cellars of Casato Prime Donne in Montalcino and Fattoria del Colle with different but equally interesting tastings and charm. Fattoria del Colle also offers a historical itinerary in the most beautiful parts of the villa, the chapel and the Italian garden.
A VERY INTENSE AND VARIED WEEKEND BUT ALSO RELAXING AND FUN AT THE SAME TIME
Giardino all’italiana e Cappella
At the end, an intense and fun program to be interspersed with the appreciation of the views and, for wellness lovers, also with natural well-being in the special area equipped with a vinotherapy tub and a room for couples’ massages.
Don’t miss the chance to immerse yourself in the beauty of the Tuscan spring landscape while also enjoying the chance to live on a real historic farm. Places that will make you feel as if “at the home of your Tuscan grandparents” for the furniture, paintings and real antique objects. Just like at the table you can taste traditional dishes handmade with great skill: pinci, pappardelle, bread and vegetable soups….
