Weekday indoor requests need at least four hours’ notice, outdoor weekend requests 24 hours. Travel time is additional. Forest participants need their own cars to reach the trail; dinner meets at Tenuta San Pietro, not the factory.

Sending a request does not require immediate payment. The distillery checks availability, timing and the meeting point, then confirms by email.
For dates outside the public calendar, contact the team through the website’s direct chat.
