The Harvest Gathering, each October
Join the work that transforms a year of care into extra virgin olive oil.
Experience the harvest firsthand. Touch the trees, bring in the olives beside the crew, taste the new oil at the mill, and get to know the community around the groves.
A small group, five nights in the hills outside Florence, everything included.
“What an honour to take part in this excursion. The beauty of the landscapes, the stories behind every answer to a question, the bounty from the earth… together these made this a trip of a lifetime.”
“It was the absolute best and we have not stopped talking about all of our priceless experiences.”
The days
The trees set the days.
In the groves.
Feel the grove. Harvest the olives beside the crew who tend them all year, and understand what it takes to bring a grove back and keep it thriving.
The oil.
No two harvests taste the same. At the mill, learn how the oil is made, and how the varietal, the ripeness and the season show up in the glass.
At the table.
Long meals and great conversation with the people who live around the groves, in places only they know. Food from the land we work, with the season’s first oil poured over it.
In between.
A master class and tasting with Fil Bucchino, workshops in the grove, and time to rest between the work.
The people
A backstage pass to the community.
Five days inside the life that makes the oil: the growers and crews who tend the trees all year, the mill at harvest, and the neighbours who share their tables. Every gathering brings people closer to the work and helps restore and protect the groves.
