My stay with Lorenzo, Laura and Peter was one of the best experiences I've had, the fields are beautiful and big, the opportunity to get in touch with the nature is amazing, the work can get a bit difficult sometimes and you need to make a physic effort, but it totally worth it, the lunch and dinner are delicious and with the other volunteers, Lorenzo and his family you can really feel like you're at home :)) .

My first time volunteering at the vineyard was amazing. Lorenzo, Peter and Laura are very friendly and it feels like home. I met great people and we used to cook some traditional dishes together. Apart from learning more about permaculture practices and Italian culture, my Italian also got better. Although the work in the vineyard is difficult, there is always delicious food and fun :) If you're willing to learn about the winery and like country living, I highly recommend it!

My experience at Lorenzo's the winery was incredible. I stayed for a good time and had the opportunity to feel like part of the family. I improved my Italian with Laura, Lorenzo's mother, and learned to cook pasta and focaccia with Peter, Lorenzo's father. Communication was always very clear, and they always made the volunteers feel at home. If you read his profile description, you will be no doubts or issues. Hot water at agreed times once a day, heavy work in the vineyard. But lots of good food, conversation, and fun. I can't wait to go back again. I really loved my experience. Thank you!

My stay at the vineyard was really good! I met a lot of amazing people and it's a fun place to be with a good group. The work is hard so you have to be fit. You are well fed and the countryside is beautiful. The only thing is the house can be unclean but it's completely fine to live in and it's a farm so it's to be expected. Lorenzo, Peter and Laura are very welcoming and it feels more and more like home the longer you stay. I would definitely recommend it if you're willing to work hard and want to enjoy the countryside and I would love to come back sometime soon!

It was a great month in the farm with Lorenzo, Laura and Peter. They are really friendly, kind and nice people. Foods were tasty, their dogs and cat were lovely. It was a nice experience to meet with new people, learning Italian culture, explore other cities and new places and to experience farm life in a vineyard. The work wasn't easy, it needs too much effort (5 hours in a day) and the rooms that we stayed wasn't super clean. For the people who don't care too much about the cleaning it can be a perfect experience.

It's a great place if you want to be surrounded by nature yet to meet lots of amazing people. Thanks to them you feel like home away from home. Work can be physically demanding but nothing extreme. There were 10-14 volunteers in 3-4 rooms. Rooms and a shower are shared. During the harvest the priority was to pick the grapes and to process them in the winery, so the house can look a bit neglected but it's your responsibility to keep it clean. On days off it's nice to travel, Lorenzo, Laura and Peter are willing to pick you up at the station, which is very convenient. Grazie mille di tutto!

My first volunteer work abroad. I am very content and glad that I chose this winery. Family was welcoming and open. I felt safe and the food was good. Laura è un'ottima cuoca. Work was demanding. Depends on the season, but during summer, it's mainly cutting and cleaning baby plants, but with hot weather, it gets quickly boring and hard. Also during my time the family faced some difficulties with their company and the atmosphere at home was also a little tense. But all in all it was a pleasure to work and live with Lorenzo, Laura and Peter! Grazie mille per la vostra gentilezza e ospitalità!

Hosts are very nice people and welcoming, they are helpful if you need a ride to a town, store, train station. Meals are very tasty and vastly. The work is hard physically and it's expected to become faster as the days go by, but if you are an active person you'll be fine. If you are not fluent in Italian there could be some miscommunication if you're working with Laura because of the language barrier, so be patient and ask questions. Overall a good experience. While working in some of the fields you will experience some beautiful landscapes.

I really enjoyed staying with Lorenzo and his family. The work is hard but it was fun working with the other volunteers. Laura's food is delicious and I enjoyed watching her cook. Thanks for everything:)

What a unique experience it was to volunteer at Lorenzo's vineyard. I learned so much about what a complex process it is involved to produce the winery. This has been the most physically demanding work I've done in my trip but it was also very rewarding. It was truly an immersive experience. I learned some delicious recipes from signora Laura, talked about history with Peter, and spoke Italian everyday with Lorenzo. I recommend this experience to anyone that wants a true exposure to the Italian way of life out on the countryside.
