Cascina Gabutti Educational Farm

The philosophy of Monia Gabutti, owner of the educational farm is simple, but not at all trivial, and stems from a question:

How is it possible, in a land of farmsteads and countryside, that it is easier for a child to see a zebra or a lion than to interact with a free-range chicken or piglet in a farmyard?

Cascina Gabutti is just that: a home open to children and to all those who wish to spend a few hours immersed in one of the most renowned areas of the Langhe, among the vineyards from which Barolo is born, in contact with domestic animals, the countryside and agri-food products.

Monia does not consider the farm exclusively a job, but a way of life, a trip during which she is accompanied by her husband Valter, an expert connoisseur of the agricultural world, and by all the animals who inhabit the farmstead: Zac the dog, the very sweet donkeys, the piglets, and then ducks, geese, guinea fowl, rabbits, chickens, turkeys, parakeets and a family of mischievous peacocks.

Cascina Gabutti is also a Campagna Amica point, which guarantees the sale of strictly agricultural and Italian products and is part of the Educational Farms of the Piedmont Region.

Cascina Gabutti products are healthy, wholesome and a little different from what is generally found on local farms. A curious choice worth discovering.

Langhet grape juice

One of the first products of crushing is grape juice, which, pasteurized at 65 degrees before fermentation begins, retains its properties.

It is a tasty drink, without alcohol or added sugar, that comes from a blend of the grapes they grow: chardonnay, dolcetto, barbera and nebbiolo.

Everyone can drink it, even children, and it is great as a base for aperitifs and cocktails.

Natural soaps

Rapùi ‘d Nébio made from Nebbiolo grapes

A gentle and 100% natural soap suitable for all skin types. Made from the oil and flour of grape seeds. A soap bar with the scent of fresh grapes and red fruits.

Lesme made from hazelnuts and lavender

Hazelnuts, combined with lavender, create a true gift for the skin. Emollient because of the hazelnut oil, soothing because of the lavender essential oil.

Various workshops and activities are offered to rediscover the wonder and simplicity of the farming world, suitable for all ages and specifically designed for school groups as well.

From egg to chick (March → early June)

To show children the hatching of eggs and explain to parents the properties, structure, and use of eggs, while also dispelling some urban legends.

The hazel grove (August)

The other side of the coin from the vineyard: a meditative journey in contact with the land of Langa. The hazel grove is an environment that predisposes to relaxation, thinking, and solitary meditation.

Route through the vineyards

The vineyard tour knows how to enthuse: the various vegetative stages and related work are explained. Also presented is the territory of which the farmstead is a part.

The proposed activities are designed to experience a formative moment and create a bonding opportunity.
