The harvesting moment for the Brunello, Chianti and Doc Orcia grapes is a privileged moment for wine tourism, especially in Tuscany. Wine lovers have the possibility to see, and for a few moments take part in the harvesting of the grapes. They learn how to taste the berries to understand the true significance of the word “ripe”, differentiating between skin, pulp, and grape seeds. They understand the logics of the harvest calendar and share the grape growers’ passion and their worries if some black clouds are on the horizon and their joy if the forecasts promise good weather. Only at this time of the year is it possible to see the birth of great red Tuscan wines and it is possible to go home saying “a bottle of Brunello will be made with grapes I picked”
Every year from September 15th to October 20th Fattoria del Colle proposes at least two harvest weekends with a program filled with activities, tours (in the two wineries in Montalcino- Casato Prime Donne and in Trequanda – Fattoria del Colle), tastings, and themed dinners. Roughly 20 participants, overnight stays in the villas apartments and rooms of the small rural hamlet surrounding the estate that was built in 1592. An historic place where all lodgings maintains the imprint of the Tuscan tradition in its antique furniture, mixing with modern comfort.
The activities are guided by expert multilingual staff who teaches the secrets of Brunello, Chianti and Orcia Doc in a fun way. The harvest weekends are a different and captivating way to increase ones wine knowledge and to regenerate whilst in contact with nature.
