St. John’s celebration in Montalcino

In Montalcino, Tuscany, in the folk tradition it is believed that the herbs collected during Saint John’s day not only have therapeutic virtues, but a special energy given by the power of light.

The light in the days of solstice triumphs over darkness.

.

Thus celebrating the arrival of summer.

.

.

Piombaia Estate will spend the day collecting wild herbs with friends and guests .

A dinner with herbal dishes and at night  a ritual bonfire will be lit around wich the feast will start with music, dancing and “jump the fire” games.

Celebrate summer with CTG and Piombaia Estate!
