Hi, I am Massimiliano and I live together in our oasis with my business partner Penny. We are in a beautiful location up in the hills in the north of Italy, surrounded by nature and vineyards. We live with what we produce by looking after some animals (chickens, cows, calves... ) our vegetable patch (in rehabilitation now) and the vineyard with which we make delicious wines. We have a farm stay with rural kitchen.

I truly had the best experience with Massimiliano and the other worldpackers! Massi is caring and fun-loving, as well as an amazing cook. I enjoyed meeting other travelers and we all became comfortable very quickly. Learning about the wine process was very interesting, and we had a lot of independence once we learned how to do certain processes. Pumpover and press were easy to learn and it was satisfying to be part of the making of this year's wines. The dogs and cats are super sweet. We ate well and had lots of fun. Come prepared with a karaoke song! I will definitely be coming back <3

I loved it! except the wasps Massi was a great host - generous, knowledgeable, passionate & forgiving Big personality & highly opinionated but keen on listening to feedback to improve himself and his business His philosophy for volunteer experience is self-organisation & communal living Massi & Penny are the best cooks! Grateful to have learnt about processing natural wines & be part of the production of Massi's 2026 wine. There's lots to do here if you take the initiative We laughed, we cried, we sang, we danced, we ate, we drank, but most importantly, we loved Will definitely be back 🫶🏻

I had a wonderful time volunteering at Oasi di Masterone, I made lovely friends, learned a great deal about natural winemaking, and enjoying a rich cultural immersion into the Italian lifestyle. This is truly a special place to stay, waking up every morning to the sound of the roosters, then heading upstairs to feed the puppies was a joy. As a winemaker myself I enjoyed time in the cellar doing pumpovers, bottling, and watching over the wine during each step of fermentation. I will absolutely be returning to this magical place again, to enjoy a meal and a bottle of wine with my friend Massi.

Massimilano was an amazing host! He was funny, welcoming, inviting and informative. He made us feel apart of his family and created and fun, comfortable environment to learn and experience winemaking. I learned a lot from him, but you have to take initiative and ask for what you want and want to learn. He was willing to share his knowledge, experiences, and stories. I am incredibly grateful for the experience and he took the time to teach us and make us feel welcome into his home. I learned a lot, made great memories, and will always remember his humor, generosity, and lessons. 🫶

The volunteers are the stars of their experience here. With good vibes and a willingness to get stuck in, even a tough period like the grape harvest becomes fantastic! Thanks, little-big Nik!

I loved my time in mastarone! massimiliano and penny made my experience so special, and i'd definitely come back. a previous volunteer tried to convince me not to go, but i'm really glad i didn't listen. my advice is to have your own experience, because mine was nothing like what i was told. massi is a genuinely kind person with a huge heart (and i honestly ate better there than with my own family hahaha). thank you for welcoming me into your home, sharing your project, and showing me country life. hope to be back someday! 🤍
