Castellina in Chianti - Rural villages around the world have long celebrated their hard work at the end of the harvest with joyous feasts and wine-making festivities, representing a deeper spiritual connection to the Earth. Areas of viticulture celebrate this moment with the ancient tradition of grape-stomping. Still today scenes of girls with knee-high skirts squishing grapes under their feet come to mind as an Italian symbol, as we have seen in classic TV shows like
I Love Lucy.

Regions known for wine production honor the culmination of the gathering season by stomping grapes with their feet. The iconic sight of women in knee-length skirts trampling the fruit has become a hallmark of Italy and has prominently figured in the ‘I Love Lucy’ film. This excursion is strongly suggested for individuals seeking an unique adventure and the perfect snapshots for online platforms. The journey encompasses a tour of a vineyard and a wine tasting session; guests, contingent on the times of year, may either harvest grapes themselves or press grapes that have been procured earlier.
