This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Your experience includes a foraging experience on a farm and a cooking class. Vivi’s beautiful home is located on the hills of Piemonte, surrounded by vineyards and farms. Visit Vivi's sustainable farm land and forage ingredients for your meal together. She will show you her chickens, wild plants, vegetable gardens and fruit trees - hazelnut, apricot, etc. Vivi introduces you to the sustainable practices she employs on the farm, like enriching the soil through replanting.
