The beauty of picking flowers at dawn
Code:
Known all over the world as the "Red gold", saffron is recognized for its attributes and rarity. It grows betweeen the crocus saffron’s petals, a smal and delicate purple flower.

Saffron is a spice and it is used to give colour and flavour to many dishes but its production requires a great knowledge of the territory and a precise technique.

Our experience offers an initiation to this work, taking part to the saffron harvesting and learning how to trim the stigmaas and obtain saffron spice.

At the end of the harvesting you will enjoy a meal with saffron-based dishes. You will taste the versatility of saffron with different dishes, with pasta, meat, side dishes and even dessert.

Some great wine will be paired with food and you won’t leave with empty stomach!
  Dive into – and become part of – local life
      Samples of saffron-based dishes paired with wine
  It can be combined with other activities or included in itineraries

Due to the special situation concerning Covid-19 we were the only participants in the food tour, which helped to make the tour feel more personalised and was in a way a pleasant surprise. The wines were the best that i have ever had up to this moment in Italy and the tour started on time without any complications. Highly recommended!
