I was born here and have always lived here. I like to make my wines in the Piedmontese tradition (using cement and oak). Based on the characteristic white earth and the minerality of the soils I aim to make subtle wines. I like wines that are interesting, easy to drink, and hopefully elegant, fresh, crisp and vibrant.

I am in the process of extending our range with new wines made from abandoned old Piedmontese varieties like Slarina and Baratuciat.

Welcome to the VFS Summer Camp! Our summer camp will be a natural continuation of all the principles with which we founded our beautiful little school.

The children will be immersed in organic vineyards and fields in the tiny hilltop village of Montaldo, with our two Yurts and 25 acres of undisturbed nature for them to explore!

Just like the school, the camp will be outdoor and nature based. It will be bi-lingual, with staff and volunteers who are both mother tongue Italian and English. Our Waldorf education backbone will allow children freedom to explore everything in an imaginative and artistic way. The camp will be free of all toxins of any kind; screen and EMR free, and completely organic in every way.

Muriel, floral designer from seed to flower

I have done many things and different lives, the places I have lived in have marked and inspired me: I grew up in Ivrea breathing the harmony of places invented by a special and visionary entrepreneur, I had a solid family capable of educating me in the beauty of nature and to the substance of simple things, I was a university student in Turin, a curious student in a suspended Venice and a Milanese one in love in motion with a suit and high heels, a radiant and barefoot bride in Umbria, Como on a bicycle and a happy mother and then the countryside:a farmhouse to be restored and a piece of hill to tame.

Podere le Rocche was born from the desire to carry out a project and keep everything together: the endless bunches of flowers from walks in the mountains with my parents, the straightforward industriousness of someone who isn't afraid to work hard, the rigor of design, the unscrupulousness of dreams, the creativity of doing with your hands, the power of harmony of the things and people around me.

Becoming a farmer, planting roses and shrubs and flowers and plants and trees and growing my garden and vegetable garden and then everything I need to create my compositions has been natural, tiring and irreversible!

I love this little farm, I love the plants that inhabit it, I love those that will inhabit it.

One of the things we believe in is the importance of involving the participants to make them live a unique and unforgettable experience. This is why cooking classes are practical and it is in the cooking school that we want to tell everyone about our idea of ​​cooking.

The soul of the school is the large central table, which will not only host the cooking classes, but will also be the stage on which the expert hands of our cooks will move. In fact, here fresh pasta and leavened products will come to life, which can be tasted at the table of the Locanda della Rocca. All strictly visible.

The keywords of the school are: seasonality, tradition, territory, return to the earth, circularity, authenticity, health and well-being. Words that remain only theory, if they are not followed by a coherent practice.

The highest spot in Italy

The first Mountain conquered by man

Mont Blanc is the temple of extreme nature, a humanized mountain: the first where man and nature met at the top. A meeting that led to the birth of the alpine guides.

The stunning views make it a destination any time of year with delicious Italian restaurants in the charming Courmayeur village below.

The Matterhorn is a mountain of the Alps, straddling the main watershed and border between Switzerland and Italy. It is a large, near-symmetric pyramidal peak in the extended Monte Rosa area of the Pennine Alps, whose summit is 4,478 meters (14,692 ft) high, making it one of the highest summits in the Alps and Europe. The mountain overlooks the Swiss town of Zermatt, in the canton of Valais, to the northeast; and the Italian town of Breuil-Cervinia in the Aosta Valley to the south. Just east of the Matterhorn is Theodul Pass, the main passage between the two valleys on its north and south sides, which has been a trade route since the Roman Era.

Big reason to visit Turin in November?

Serbian equals Federer’s record of six titles at year-end event

Novak Djokovic earned a record-equalling sixth Nitto ATP Finals title and a historic $4.7m payday when he defeated Casper Ruud 7-5, 6-3 in the Turin title match Sunday 20 November, 2022

This American/Italian duo chefs turned farmers offer a unique concept of hospitality. The meals are events shared with other guests around their communal table.

“As with many things in Italy, things begin with a love story. We met in Denmark, working in some of the world’s most innovative restaurants such as Noma and Relæ in Copenhagen. There, innovation started in working closely with local producers, organic farmers, and always with a consciousness for craftsmanship at the highest levels. Biodiversity, environmentally responsible farming practices, and sustainable habits in the kitchen became values ingrained in us, and now, inseparable to us, are the fundamentals with which we walk into our project at Rantan. Now married, in Italy, with our plot of land and house, our idea is for a table centered around humanity—hospitality that is personal and heartfelt.”
