Agriturismo Bellavista
Grape and olive harvest amid the cypress-lined hills of Chianti
About this host
Bellavista needs no introduction to anyone who has driven through Chianti — the postcard landscape of rolling vineyards, silvery olive groves and stone farmhouses. What the postcard doesn't show is the work: late September grape harvest is warm, fast and competitive; October olive picking is slower, contemplative, cooler. Groups harvest alongside the Marchetti family and their team, eating long lunches under the pergola with the estate's Chianti Classico. The work is genuinely physical but the setting makes up for everything.
The story behind this place
The Marchetti family has run Bellavista as an agriturismo since 2003, when Luca's parents converted the old estate buildings for guests. Luca grew up doing the harvest as a child and sees it as the best week of the farming year — he brings that enthusiasm to every group.
