The event will run with any weather condition! It seems it’ll be sunny or cloudy, anyway, in case of ongoing heavy rain (highly unlikely) we will be forced not to pick the peas in the vine. We will shell the peas and during the fettuccine egg pasta preparation we will have wine tasting. Plus a longer lunch!
The green pea from the Berici Hills (Vicenza) is famous for its goodness. This activity for the entire family is a relaxing morning trying the real peas harvest from the vine.
There’s nothing more delicious than the first tender peas, picked right off the vine, shelled and eaten raw!
