Here’s one way to earn a magnum of Cascina Roera’s Barbera d’Asti by helping Claudio and Piero harvest some of their precious grapes. This activity is organized by camomplin for late in September (to harvest the whites) and early to middle October for the more precious red grapes.  This late in the year, dew is wetting the grape early in the morning; so harvesting is done later on in the day, when the sun has had a chance to dry the berries (camomplin guests love it). So contrary to mushroom hunting, where you have to get up early, harvesting only demand on you is that you to get up by early afternoon.

Harvesting for but an hour or two is an excellent way to appreciate all the work which has gone on during the year to get to the point where only the best berries result is some delicious (and biological) Barbera d’Asti. At the end of your fatigue, you will be rewarded with a bottle of Clauio and Piero best vintage: Barbera d’Asti DOCG.

Our Harvesting experience comes free of charge (only from Camomplin ferienhauser/vacation rentals in Piemont Roero
