You will be among the Tuscan country folk who know the Chiantigiane hills like the backs of their hands, as well as being absorbed in the scents and flavours of the territory. From morning to afternoon, you will only have a pair of scissors, a harvester or a shaker in hand. Whether you are gathering kilos of grapes or olives, all your efforts will be rewarded with a healthy feeling of tiredness at the end of the day, perfect for enjoying a cold beer or, better yet, a glass of wine with a platter of cheeses and cold cuts, in front of the sunset over the hills.

An experience filled with wicker baskets and flasks, it’s an ideal opportunity to get to know other people and their stories, and the centuries-old ways of this world with your hands in the earth, your mobile phone in your backpack, and a common goal to achieve: olive oil and wine for the new season.

General information: the grape harvest usually takes place at the beginning of September, while the olive harvest is from the end of October until the end of November or December. It’s possible to find work directly on the farms, and you can take the opportunity to stay on site while fully enjoying the countryside. In the terms of olive oil, you can participate in both the olive harvesting phase and the pressing phase in the mills.
