We have always tried, in our own small way, to make a concrete contribution to social projects that share our values. We do this by supporting solidarity initiatives, offering financial help or consciously choosing products that tell stories of commitment, redemption and hope.
Casa Don Puglisi
During a trip to Sicily in 2009, we discovered one of the most authentic local excellences: Modica Chocolate. Walking through the streets of this beautiful city, we came into contact with the workshop of Casa Don Puglisi, a non-profit organization where chocolate is handcrafted using fair-trade cocoa and cane sugar. Beyond the extraordinary quality of the product, which you can find in our venue since then, we chose to support a project that concretely helps people in difficulty. For us, it's a simple but sincere way to "help those who help".

The Lario Mania Project
Through my participation on the board of the Maria Kindergarten Association in Griante, I had the opportunity to learn about Azalea Onlus. During the Covid period, the association had found a temporary space in the oratory to welcome less fortunate people. With the closure of the kindergarten due to lack of children, we managed to give new life to the building, granting it in usufruct to the association so it could become a permanent home for the young people. In 2024, to celebrate my 50th birthday, I also wanted to organize a charity wine festival: the proceeds were donated to the "Lario Mania" project, one of the many initiatives promoted to support our territory.

Alvaro Pecorari, producer and winemaker of Lis Neris wines in the beautiful Friuli Venezia Giulia region, has been carrying out social projects for over twenty years in memory of his daughter Francesca. Through the sale of "Fatto in Paradiso" wine and numerous donations, educational programs for the most vulnerable children are supported. With their contribution, schools have been built in Myanmar, India and Uganda. A project that unites wine, memory and future.

Heritage preservation
In the 1970s, during a trip to Israel, our grandmother planted olive trees for her grandchildren in the Garden of Olives. This memory has stayed with us over time. When we were looking for an extra virgin olive oil to serve in our venue, we were struck by the "Adopt an Olive Tree" projects. The heritage of millennial and centuries-old olive trees, now severely threatened by Xylella, deserves to be preserved. With our adoption, we hope to make a small but concrete contribution to protecting this heritage and the future of the territory.
