Pamela Haack at Strada Toscana
Delicious meals will be served at the villa

Join me for a magical workshop at the idyllic Villa Poggio alle Trese in Tuscany! This 17th century old Tuscan estate includes sweeping vineyards, gorgeous olive groves and a beautiful lake tucked into the nearby forest. The villa itself sits upon the very border of Tuscany and Umbria and is reserved exclusively for our group. Tuscany is full of rich culture, vast history and delectable food.
Imagine…
- waking up daily at this elegant villa, surrounded by rolling hills and vineyards
- soaking up gentle Tuscan breezes and sunshine through your open window
- designing with local seasonal flowers and textures at the exquisite in-house art studio
- foraging throughout the estate and nearby countryside lanes
- a tour at Puscina flower farm where sisters Laura and Teresa organically cultivate over 500 varieties of flowers
- an olive grove walk on dusty pathways followed by a delectable olive oil tasting with crusty bread
- perusing the nearby charming medieval village of Città della Pieve for a walking tour of this unspoiled hill town, along with time on your own for shopping and exploring
- delicious meals at the villa, featuring regional specialties and accompanied by local wines
- dining with friends, under the Tuscan stars
- sitting on stone steps under a warm sun – eyes closed
Soak up the magic and exquisite beauty of Tuscany and be prepared to experience adventures and learn to design eyecatching woodlands and irresistible botanical wearables!
Now is the time to start planning on participating in this retreat for October 2020 (payment plans are available too).
