As the world embraces the idea of healthy and natural living, more of us are demanding healthy alternatives. This business of “organic living” is effecting everything from our food, our clothing, our medical choices, to our travel plans. 


This series will journey, around the world, to find the best in organic and healthy destinations. From organic farms, to all natural places to stay, to healthy restaurants--we will follow fellow travelers, hikers and “nature lovers” who strive for awe-inspiring sceneries and a healthy itinerary!
 

We visit a few organic wineries in the hills of North-East Italy. The backdrop is breathtaking with some vineyards perched atop sloping hillsides, some guarded by ancient castles, one nestled adjacent to a shimmering lake, one fortified against Napoleon, and one winery said to be haunted by persecuted witches. We will watch as they harvest their grapes, taste their organic wines, and enjoy their tranquil settings among castles, jagged mountains, and peaceful vineyards.

Picture freshly baked bread steaming hot from a wood-burning oven. It’s early morning as we film this local baker who’s bread is famous for its organic ingredients. We then visit a local restaurant near one of our wineries who creates dishes typical of the region--with fresh polenta, regional organic cheeses, home-grown vegetables, and just picked-from-the-forest porcini mushrooms!
 

Imagine picturesque farms in the glorious mountains and hills, with the background of the majestic Dolomite Mountains! With the guidance of a local escort, our trip will take us on spectacular hikes, drives, and trekking trails to farms that are situated on precarious mountain cliffs, located on emerald meadows rolling like grassy seas, and a few tucked away in the deepest splendors of the Alpine forests! One of these organic farms makes the famous Asiago cheese--pure, traditional, and chemical-free! We’ll watch the process and enjoy our time with these wonderful farmers.

Once a monastery, this castle now greets its guests with impeccable rooms, focusing its attention to healing natural waters and the beauty of the Euganean Hills Natural Park. The castle sits on green pastures that are known for its thermal waters as well as its fertile soil that is ideal for vines and olive groves. The castle houses a winery that creates wine that is wonderfully organic. They also make a wine that is fermented using the antique winemaking methods of the ancient Romans.
 

The series will focus on:

- Organic farms

- Places to stay that focus on nature

- Restaurants that cater to the health-conscious
  traveler

- Excursions and tours around the World.
