This trip is advertised with tomatoes being the central theme. This isn't really the case, and massively undersells what is a unique and thoroughly engaging and educational experience about the ecological issues faced by landowners in amalfi. Antonio, our lovely guide, showed us around the farm, took us to a neighbouring farmers vines and wine cellar. He explained about the fiascone tomatoes and the cooperative they have with other farmers to produce their delicious sauces... some of which came home with us! We also met and had lunch with some of the worldwide students who come to stay to work on the land or on the other numerous projects that the team are involved in.
Thank you Antonio for educating us in such a warm, enthusiastic and genuinely fascinating way.
Big pat for fiasco the dog too!!!
