La Foresteria, Menfi
w/ PLANETA WINERY & Alexandra Meffert
Oct 25-29th 2023
This is a very special kind of yoga retreat taking place at La Foresteria of the Planeta family, a dreamy wine resort in Menfi, on the landscapes of Western Sicily – a super high end luxury experience for the senses. Spend 5 days, 4 nights, combining the best of yoga and wine, food and nature, art and culture, to learn, to relax, to enjoy.
This is an exclusive retreat with an intimate familiar environment, where everyone can get to know eachother, but there is enough space to relax and retreat. Further, there will be enough time for you to go deep into the things we learn and discover, whether it is during the yoga classes and workshops, a cooking class, visiting Capparina for a special Olive oil experience or the premium wine tasting.

Olive Oil & Capparina
one of my favorite places: Capparina
This will be a very special and unique trip, exploring freshly pressed olive oil from the trees the Planeta family grow, learn about the local nature and olive, and taste a menu designed around olive oil!
Guided visit of Capparrina olive grove where Planeta has planted 140 hectares of olive trees of the three most important western Sicily varieties: Nocellara del Belice, Biancolilla and Cerasuola.
