What to expect
You'll spend seven nights in an authentic farmhouse away from the usual tourist circuits. Days combine hiking, village visits and tastings — expect moderate physical exertion, particularly on mountain walks. Meals are eaten with or near locals, showcasing regional produce and traditions. The minivan moves you between locations with your guide providing context. Wine tastings happen at working farms rather than polished venues. Evenings are unstructured; the pace is slow and deliberately rural.
