SOME DETAILS

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
Our mornings start with yoga—the anchor of our retreat. Over the week, we’ll remove the crusty layers of stress, unlock chronic hip tension, and reset habitual slouches. With more energized postures and open senses, we will emerge ready to take in the full Italian experience.
Breakfast
After yoga, we’ll gather around the breakfast table for fresh fruit, homemade granola, yogurt, and rustic bread. European breakfasts always feel both decadent and wholesome. As we sip coffee, we’ll review our plan for the day.
Explorations
Some days we venture out for a hike led by a local guide, visit the sandy beaches in nearby resort towns, or walk to the next village to find the renowned pasticceria.
Alice’s Cooking classes
Other days we stay back for Alice’s cooking classes where we roll up our sleeves to prepare the pasta for lunch or learn how to make the local hazelnut pastry.
Sadie’s Yoga
After some afternoon downtime, we reconvene for a restorative yoga class.
Danilo’s Wine history
As the sun dips toward the sea, we gather on the terrace for antipasti and wine tasting. Danilo leads our wine education as he uncorks bottles of Chianti, Sangiovese, and Prosecco, offers his signature tasting notes, and explains the regional viniculture traditions.
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.
Sounds amazing, right?
We haven’t even gotten to the best part: Alice’s food!
With classic Italian preparations and plant-focused creativity, she tailors the menu for omnivores yet is sensitive to food restrictions. She forages local ingredients like forest herbs and mushrooms to create dishes that are filled with flavor, but are rarely heavy.
There is no luxury like having your own personal chef for a full week.
