This is not an ordinary tasting; it is a guided journey into the science of living longer. Over four immersive phases, you will explore how the polyphenols, resveratrol and flavonoids in our ancient-variety wines and early-harvest extra virgin olive oil actively protect your cells, support brain health and slow oxidative ageing. Every choice at Villa La Ripa, from vine selection to Argon-protected winemaking, is made to preserve these compounds at their peak. Taste the evidence.
The Experience:
The Vineyard: Ancient grape varieties selected for natural phenolic complexity, not yield. Tour the vines and olive groves that make the science possible.
The Wine Tasting: Four wines with exceptional antioxidant profiles paired with dark chocolate, berries, dried fruit and aged cheese, with information cards on each wine's active compounds.
The Olive Oil: A detailed tasting focused on bitterness as a marker of polyphenol concentration, compared side by side with a commercial oil. Mediterranean diet science included.
The Cosmetics: Try Villa La Ripa's exclusive skincare line, formulated to concentrate resveratrol, flavonoids, Omega-6 and Omega-9 for lasting skin longevity.
