There is nothing more “Italian” than getting your hands dirty in a vineyard! 🇮🇹 In this episode of The TMax Travels, we head to Podere Gelisi Antonio in San Quirino, Italy, for a full-day grape harvesting experience.
Join us as we learn the art of cutting grapes for wine production, navigate the “puzzle” of the vines, and find out why you always wear gloves when dealing with vineyard spiders! After the hard work is done, we head into the winery to taste the results—including fresh grape juice, Rosé Prosecco, and a stunning dry red wine.
Highlights of the harvest:
🍇 The Art of the Cut: Learning from the experts how to harvest grapes quickly and safely.
🍷 Wine Tasting: Trying the freshest grape juice ever and comparing different Italian Proseccos.
🍝 Vineyard Feast: Enjoying an incredible homemade Pumpkin Lasagna with the Gelisi family.
⛰️ Scenic San Quirino: Stunning views of the Northern Italian vineyards in full bloom.
Whether you’re a wine lover or just looking for travel inspiration, this behind-the-scenes look at the Italian harvest is a must-watch.

There’s something magical about working the vines and then sitting down to a homemade meal with the winemakers! 🍷🍝 The pumpkin lasagna was definitely the surprise highlight of the day.
