    About This Tour

    The drive up is part of the experience. Pine forests, lakes, the temperature dropping with every kilometer.

    You arrive at the farmhouse mid-afternoon. Tea on the porch. Bags into a quiet, simple room with a view of the plantation.

    Late afternoon, you walk the rows with the farmer as the harvest crew finishes the day. You smell the wet cherries, see the leaves up close, and start to understand the scale of what's grown here.

    Dinner is with the family. Vegetables from their garden. The first cup of their coffee at the table.

    The first day is for arriving, not performing.

    Dinner is at the family table, not a restaurant.
