Elisabetta Foradori has achieved international recognition for her expert use of indigenous grape varietals such as teroldego, which is rarely seen outside of Northeastern Italy. Foradori inherited the vineyard from her father, who died after she graduated high school and left its care solely in her hands. More than 13 years ago, after witnessing the destructive effects of conventional farming on her land, Foradori switched to biodynamic methods in an effort to protect and heal the earth; she has practiced sustainable winemaking ever since.

Our second guest of honour is Mateja Gravner, daughter of esteemed winemaker Josko Gravner who is a foremost vintner in combining forward-thinking biodynamics with more traditional, non-intrusive winemaking. The Gravner vineyard, situated in Northeastern Italy, is completely natural: no additives or temperature control methods are used, and wines are bottled without filtration.
