For May June July we are looking for a boy or a couple willing to get to know the Italian peasant culture of the vineyards by working a few hours a day in the vineyards!

•Our family 🌞
I’m Raissa, I'm 40 years old. I'm an architect and teacher.
My husband name's is Marco he is 42 years old, runs a wine cellar and is also a teacher. You will mainly spend the hours in the vineyard with him, he will teach you the job from the ground up!

•Where?
We live in the wine-growing landscape of Piedmont, Langhe-Roero, a world heritage site .
Piedmont ,our region , also stands out for the excellent wines,cheeses, quality meat, homemade pasta and truffles .
This specific part of Italy has a very vast cultural and artistic heritage, full of medieval castles, ancient churches and Roman houses.
If you were our guests, I would certainly recommend you to visit the most important cities in this area such as Alba,Torino and Milano . With only half an hour by bus we find a city known for its white truffle. The Cathedral, rebuilt in Gothic style, has a bell tower from which to admire city views. Not far away, the Church of San Giovanni Battista that hosts. works of art from the 14th century. Then at one hour by bus ,we find Turin known for being the first capital of Italy. After that with just two hours by train we find the famous Milan an industrial and economic center, world capital of fashion and design together with Paris.
In case you are interested we are a few hours from the sea and the Alps.
•Others information about us :
•We don't smoke.
•We have three pets two cats(Naná and Sansone) and one dog (Titi) , the dog is not in the house.
