Worms & Wine Tour of Tuscany

Join us November 10 for an exciting “Worms & Wine Tour” of Tuscany. Through a generous sponsorship and ongoing collaboration with Centro Lombricoltura Toscano (CLT), we will embark on a tour showcasing vermicomposting and its significance in the wine industry here in Tuscany. We will depart for Pisa where we will meet with founder and CEO of CLT, Marco Calcaprina, where we will learn about his methods of vermicomposting and tour the CLT facility. After a hearty Tuscan lunch, we will travel to Vivai Moronia, a barbatelle farm just north of Pisa, to learn how grape vines are propagated and grafted and see Marco’s product in action. Before heading back to Florence, we will have a wine tasting featuring wines from Gagliole and snack. We will head back to Florence in the early evening in plenty of time for you to have the dinner on your own.

Participation in the event is extremely limited. Please register early!
