Discover the magic of life in Monforte d’Alba!
Born from a passion for animals, this experience allows visitors to witness the fascinating process of egg hatching.
At our farm, hens, ducks, and geese roam freely among the vineyards and within the large enclosed courtyard, laying their eggs in their favorite spots.
At the end of the day, these eggs are carefully collected, selected, and placed in incubators that serve as thermal cradles to ensure proper hatching. In some cases, we let the mother birds hatch the eggs naturally, although this method is less effective due to predators like crows that may steal eggs or chicks.
“From Egg to Chick” is a hands-on workshop designed for children, offering a unique opportunity to observe the hatching process up close. However, this experience is seasonal, as chicks are born in the spring. The best time to visit and witness this magical moment is from March to early June.

Wonderful experience among vineyards and animals. The owner, Monia, makes you feel at ease, is super welcoming, kind and thorough with explanations about all the work involved, from the vineyard to the final product. Also recommended for visits with children and teenagers. Excellent tasting, excellent wines served with various snacks made with local products and delicious grape juice, also recommended for children. Excellent quality and prices. If I could, I would give more than five stars! Highly recommended, I will definitely be back!!
Highly recommended experience!! Farm surrounded by vineyards, opportunity for children to interact with friendly farm animals. Mrs. Monia is very good at explaining her work in the vineyards and personally accompanies you on visits to her vineyards immersed in the splendid surrounding hills. Tasting and sampling of 4 wines they produce, all accompanied by excellent and abundant snacks. Excellent quality/price ratio Come on! Compliments!
Thank you Monia for the warm welcome. We were practically spoiled. After giving the children the chance to feed the farm animals, Monia took us through the vineyards where she explained the immense work that goes into it and gave us information about the local wines. Finally, we had a tasting of their products. Excellent experience. I highly recommend it.
