The harvest: cherries, mulberries, figs.
In addition to being the land of farms, trulli and ancient villages, the Valle d'Itria is also a producer of cherries in the world. Tenuta Monacelle preserves in its 20 hectares a beautiful cherry orchard consists of 900 trees that every year, between spring and summer, are tinged with red. It is an excellent opportunity to join a pleasant, relaxing stay in one of the charming trulli of the estate to the harvesting of this good fruit of healthy qualities and great taste.
The period of cherry harvest runs from mid-May until the end of June and it was during this period that to each room of the estate will be assigned a tree that guests will adopt and care of, gather its fruits with their own hands, and taste them freshly picked.
