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. You will also learn how she creates a healthy ecosystem that fosters growth. Then you will forage wild herbs and vegetables, as Vivi explains the properties and traditional uses of the plants you encounter. By the end of the tour you will learn a lot about wild herbs and how to forage them. Vivi will teach you to easily recognize wild herbs, using all five senses.
