PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP with GUIDED TOUR

Here is an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of photography, or simply brush up on your advanced skills under the guidance of professional photographer, Erica Connors. See the beauty and grandeur of La Rusticana d’Orsa’s private vineyard Estate with your guide and wine lady, Aelita Leto. You will capture the uniqueness of this rare beauty tucked away in the hills of Los Gatos. Guests can snap photos while strolling through the vineyard that is set atop terraced rolling hills, delineated by rock walls and accented with roses, Italian Cypresses, sculpture gardens, lily ponds and beautiful fountains.

TASTE of WINE, CHEESE, CHOCOLATE and GOURMET LUNCH

Guests will taste the award winning Red Wine which is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot Grapes. The vines are tended by hand with meticulous attention to detail. The result is a superior quality wine, soft and pliant with flavors of plum, chocolate and mint. Guests can also taste the olive oil that is produced from only estate fruit grown in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The olives are stone-pressed which produce extra virgin grade olive oil which retains the wonderful soft green hue characteristic of the finest Tuscan Extra Virgin oils. A special selection of Gourmet cheese and chocolate will be served during the tour.
