We should not ask whether we really perceive the world. We must, instead, say: the world is what we perceive/feel
Maurice Merleau-Ponty
Seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, smelling are the essential elements of sensory and emotional tourism. Our senses, while autonomous, do not act completely detached from the others. Our Earth, produces meaning, communicates it , “circulates” it and is capable of giving meaning to the culture of an entire territory, because it tells the origin, passions , speaks of people, families and their desires.
THE MORE EFFECTIVELY AN EXPERIENCE ENGAGES THE FIVE SENSES, THE MORE MEMORABLE IT WILL BE…
Smelling the red pomegranates, observing the sound of cicadas, smelling the aroma of rosemary, caressing the sweetish wine from our vineyards, a total interaction of the five senses to immerse oneself in the heart of Salento and perceive its authentic and unique spirit.
Breathing In And Breathing Out
Immerse yourself in this world , where practicing gratitude , sharing energy and well-being ,will make you appreciate small gestures starting with the simplest and most natural things.
Taste
In addition, our Tenuta boasts a large outdoor space with pomegranate trees, vineyards and prickly pears, so every morning, at any time, you can have your Late Breakfast: stroll through our countryside, pick the fruits and taste them, for a second mouth-watering ,healthy and full of energy breakfast.
Seeing and hearing
Touching
“Touching the Earth” (also called Prosternation practice) is about returning to the Earth, to our roots, to our ancestors, and recognizing that we are not alone but are instead connected to a whole stream of ancestors.
At our Tenuta, the last week of August and the first weeks of September are dedicated to the grape harvest and grape picking. At Tenuta Rocci Cerasoli, the grape harvest is a true ritual where young and old can take part and have an active role in this fascinating practice of place.
The fruit of a year’s hard work can finally be enjoyed in the lounge area of our vineyard, where we organize not only exclusive tastings, but also intimate parties celebrating the art of wine and conviviality, all framed by the golden colors of the sunset for an enveloping atmosphere.
