Join a hands-on workshop on essential oil extraction and use, guided by the experts at Agriturismo Monte del Re. You'll work with herbaceous, shrub, and tree plants naturally found in the Natisone Valleys.
Leading the experience is Francesco — a local herbalist and producer specializing in natural essential oils made from wild plants. Harvested in the Natisone Valleys, these oils are transformed into wellness, cosmetic, and aromatherapy products.
- You'll discover how essential oils capture the true essence of plants — whether they're edible or medicinal.
- With Francesco as your guide, you’ll learn to identify some of the most valuable wild herbs for human well-being, all gathered in the Natisone Valleys.
- Step by step, you’ll dive into the process of extracting and producing your very own essential oil.
Description
The experience combines wild herb foraging with a seasonal tasting at the Agriturismo, featuring two courses of your choice (starter and first course / first and main / main and dessert). Water and cover charge are included.
