SOME DETAILS
ALICE DELCOURT
SADIE YOGA
DANILO INGANNAMORTE
Our journey begins in Milan at Erba Brusca, Alice and Danilo’s farm to table restaurant. The 5-course welcome feast starts what just may be the best week of eating of your entire life. We then travel out to Podere Conte, our country retreat together. Nestled in olive groves and home to an endangered breed of mountain sheep, this is the perfect escape to the Italian countryside.

Morning Yoga
Mornings begin with a stroll through the historic gardens to yoga in a regal glass atrium. Whether you’re new to the mat or a seasoned practitioner, each session is tailored to help you release tension and open yourself to the day’s adventures.
Breakfast
After yoga, we gather for fresh coffee and a hearty breakfast overlooking the estate’s vineyards. Eating around our communal table is central to the retreat experience. Chef Alice celebrates the fresh produce of the season by blending traditional recipes with her own inventive touch. Gathering together, slowing down, and savoring each flavor offers us a restorative way to reconnect with our bodies, our senses, and each other. It’s a wellness experience that goes beyond nutrition, reminding us that the act of eating can be a joyful, grounding, and deeply nourishing ritual.
Courses and exploration
Each day is filled with adventures—hands-on cooking classes, visits to local artisans, and tastings at nearby wineries. Hikes are always a highlight of our retreat weeks; we’ll trek through nearby vineyards and hazelnut groves, stopping to take in stunning views and learn about the history and ecology of the area.
Sadie’s Yoga
In the afternoons, we wind down with a restorative yoga class to unravel stress.
Danilo’s Wine tasting
If that doesn’t do the trick, each evening we gather for Danilo’s epic wine tastings. With each sip, he helps us appreciate the soil and artistry that produces the region’s famous Nebbiolos and Barberas.
All activities are, of course, optional. You may prefer to spend a lazy afternoon lounging at the pool, exploring the art collection, or taking a nap under a novel.
This retreat is more than a trip to Italy—it’s a holistic wellness experience that revitalizes every part of you, while freeing you from your day-to-day responsibilities. Through movement medicine, farm-to-table meals, world-class wines, and time to rest, you’ll rediscover life’s simple joys—reconnecting deeply with yourself, the people around you, and this magical place.
