Usually we
are the ones who tell the locals about interesting places to see in our area.
But when one of the villagers spoke enthusiastically about the panoramic art
park Quirin Mayer, located in the wine hills between Monastero Bormida and
Bubbio, we had to confess that we had never heard of it.
Of course
we had to do something about that. After a nice trip on a winding road between
the vineyards we arrived at a large gate with the promising “Welcome” on it.
It soon
turned out that we were not welcome at all in the domain, given the many
“Forbidden Access” signs, but luckily it was immediately clear that
we had to follow the path just outside the garden to get there.
However, Mia
thought otherwise, and decided she had to protect us against the automatic lawn
mower. Fortunately, our guardian angel is not as big and tough as she sometimes
thinks, so everyone got off it unscathed and we continued on our way to the
park.
There we
enjoyed the colorful spectacle in the vineyards. Really a beautiful place where
I want to return soon with my new picnic basket filled with all kinds of
goodies. Nicolas is less happy with my picnic obsession. Of course he knows who
will have to carry the picnic basket there
La lavanda del Monferrato, effluvio di profumi e colori. Visitando cooperative e cascine, coltivazioni biologiche e biodinamiche, dormendo negli agriturismi
And a dream it was! An unforgettable evening where everything just fitted together: the company, the food, the music, the scenery....
A big thank you to Teatro Cantiere and Langamylove who made this all possible and gave me the opportunity to just relax and enjoy this special moment :-)
