Also Fondazione La Raia hosts, for long periods of time, international artists, which are invited to gaze upon the Gavi scenery. Here we talk about Michael Beutler and his latest work of art.

Discovering La Raia: “an experience that will stay with you forever”

Alessandra Piubello of Decanter, one of the world's most respected wine magazines, set off to discover Piedmont, among rolling hills planted with vines and food excellence admired all over the world. La Raia was one of the highlights of her journey: "a microcosm of well-being and an oasis of biodiversity: this enchanting place lets visitors immerse themselves in nature while tasting a selection of excellent Gavi wines". Then there is the Demeter-certified biodynamic farm, the rammed-earth winery, the farm stay with its restaurant, spa and pool, the Italian garden and the Foundation's contemporary artworks... an experience that, according to the journalist, once lived "will stay with you forever".

A dream night in Gavi

"Few places can instil a sense of peace like the gentle hills of Gavi, the landscape in which Locanda La Raia is set." Danilo Ascani of Marie Claire, who recently visited us, has no doubts: La Raia is "the ideal place for a holiday to restore body and soul". Thanks to tailored hospitality, fine dining and Tommaso Arrigoni's Michelin-starred cuisine, of course, but also to the Foundation's remarkable site-specific works, the Wine Tours and the tastings of La Raia's biodynamic wines. A unique and unforgettable journey... just like "a midsummer night's dream".
