Renaissance Retreat, Day 6: finally, a lunch on the loggia with a much anticipated cherry risotto; the finished paintings! My sincere compliments to Ru and Jordan on a fantastic job; one last wine tasting with Sveva from Castello Poggiarello; the Potentino line up of grappa, gin and oil; one last look at the the finished paintings on the loggia at sunset.

A reminder that the upcoming Renaissance Retreat in October is sold out, but a new date has been set for May, 2020. Registration is open. Max seven participants, so the sooner you decide the better.
