During the guided tour you will learn about the history of the ancient farm and the various cultivation techniques. Inside the cellar you can taste the wines of Podere Castorani accompanied by typical local products. The Podere Castorani rises 350 meters high, on a hill of Alanno where the ancient vineyards, set between the Majella National Park and the nearby Adriatic coast, enjoy excellent exposure to the sun and night winds, and temperature changes between day and night that give the grapes unique and precious characteristics.

We had such a fantastic day with Alessio and his family. We arrived to espresso and local Italian cakes which were lovely. We were introduced to all of his family and they were all so kind and welcoming. We were then able to make a pasta sauce with his wife and then we created pasta from flour and egg - with Alessio and his wife explaining what to do and why every step of the way. We then let the pasta dough rest and Alessio took us on a tour of his farm which was amazing to see. We picked and ate fresh tomatoes and melons which tasted incredible! We then went on a tour of the local village and tried the most fantastic gelato! Upon returning to the farm we rolled and cut our pasta using traditional methods and cooked it before sitting down to a traditional Italian lunch with Alessio's whole family. After lunch we had more coffee and Alessio took us to see some local attractions we had been asking about earlier in the day. Alessio and his family really went above and beyond for us and we were made to feel so incredibly welcome. Alessio and his whole family are so passionate about their farm and their products. He gave us so much information and we really felt like we were experiencing 'the real Italy'. I honestly cannot recommend this day highly enough if you want an authentic experience with a lovely Italian family. We spent a week in Italy - including some days in Rome doing various excursions - but this was by far the best day we had during the whole holiday. Thank you so much and we will definitely return!
