The Experience

We are micro natural winery that produce wine from the ground to the bottles, and we also have a small vegetables garden. We produce electricity by electric solar panels, and hot water from the stoves and from the warm solar panels as well. Help us in the field to take care the wine plants, strimming weeds, picking grapes, digging, build a fence tied stems, etc. The farm tasks can be tough, so be sure you are fit enough and ready to learn!

This was my first volunteering experience, and it was amazing! The family is very welcoming and cultured, Lorenzo is an amazing host with whom you can work and laugh hard, and Laura is a great cook! The work can be hard on some days, but it's definitely worth it. You're guaranteed to have a good time here! During my stay there were a lot of other volunteers, and I made some pretty great friends. I was originally supposed to stay for five weeks, but we extended it to seven weeks. It was an experience I would recommend to everyone! Thank you for everything, Family Righetti!🍇

Wow, what an amazing experience! This was, and still is, my home away from home. You get to live on the land, meet international travellers and stay with an incredible Italian family. The work can be tiring but is more repetitive than difficult. The food is incredible—I still dream about Laura's tiramisu! The vineyard is remote, but Gavi is within walking distance. Lorenzo was very kind and drove us to the train station and nearby places. I left with unforgettable memories and friendships! Definitely wish to return some day!

It was a great experience to volunteer at this place. People, not only hosts but also the other volunteers, welcomed me very warmly which felt like a big family all the time. The work is not difficult or confusing. It is very manageable, and Lorenzo and Laura will teach you what you supposed to do. Since we usually start working very early in the morning, you can get a lot of time in a daytime which gives you a good, relaxing, slowly life in a country side of the winery. I enjoyed every moment with everyone there, and I am truly grateful for this opportunity.
