About this experience

The morning sun caresses the centuries-old olive trees of the Village of San Lorenzo as you approach the orchard, and it is here, among the fragrant hills of Budoni, that the earth guards an ancient secret:
longevity has a flavour, and its name is Sardinia.

You pass through the gate of Pentumas Farm and immediately a special harmony envelops you, a different air charged with living essences, from the intense fragrances of fruit ripening on the trees to the garden vegetables still breathing the morning dew.

This is how your walk among the fruits of the earth begins, where we guide you to observe, smell and taste the produce still attached to the plant, letting you breathe in the scent of freshly turned soil, an ancient fragrance you did not know you had forgotten.

You are in the Blue Zone of Sardinia, one of the areas in the world where people live longest and best. Here, among these rows, you will discover the secrets of a longevity that is born from the earth, from simplicity and from respect for the rhythms of nature.

You are then welcomed and seated under the shade of a gigantic centuries-old olive tree, which greets you with its canopy as if it wanted to protect you, and before you the show cooking is about to begin.

You watch the expert hands at work, because every ingredient tells a story:
tomatoes picked from the garden just moments before, wild-growing aromatic herbs, handmade bread. "90% of what you will eat comes from this land" they explain as they prepare the dish, and in those words you feel the pride of those who preserve a thousand-year tradition.

And here comes the most awaited moment, the tasting of Nonna Luigina's Sardinian Gin: you watch the hands holding the bottle with care and dedication, pouring the spirit into the glass and inviting you to smell it, asking 'Can you feel it?
This is the scent of Sardinia.'

The citrus notes of Sa Pompìa, the rare citrus fruit with its thick and rough skin, blend with the herbs of the Mediterranean scrubland and every sip becomes a journey through Nonna Luigina's memories, a family's love for their land and the Oscar Green 2020 award that recognised this excellence.

As you savour the freshly prepared dishes you understand the true secret of Sardinian longevity, because it is not just what you eat, but how you eat:
it is the time you take, the conviviality, the respect for the seasons and the love that every farmer puts into passing down what they received.

And it is right there that you discover, almost without realising it, that you did not know food could taste so simple and intense at the same time, a revelation that opens your heart and makes you understand what it truly means to eat.

When the time comes to leave you carry with you more than a memory, you carry the awareness that happiness has a simple and genuine flavour and that true wealth lies in the roots and in the skilled hands that work with passion.

As you walk away among the centuries-old olive trees you promise yourself you will return, because at the Pentumas Food & Beverage Experience you do not come just to eat, you come to rediscover what it means to live well, simply.

Itinerary

Discover nature's secrets: where genuine food becomes medicine

1

Arrival at the Orchard



The morning sun illuminates the rows of red tomatoes and fresh lettuce. The air is filled with fragrances: fertile earth, aromatic herbs, ripe fruit. In the background, young olive trees dance in the breeze. It is here that the earth reveals its secrets to you: simplicity, authenticity, the true taste of nature.
2

"The Walk in the Blue Zone"


Your walk among the fruits of the earth begins. You are in the Sardinian Blue Zone, where longevity is born from simplicity and respect for nature. You will breathe in the intense scent of freshly turned soil, an ancient essence you did not know you had forgotten, while your hands brush sun-warmed tomatoes and leaves of fresh lettuce. An experience that awakens the senses and reconnects you to the simplicity of your origins.
3

The Magic of the First Taste


The child's eyes widen when they pick a tomato still warm from the sun. They observe it curiously, smell it, then taste it. And suddenly a smile bursts forth: they did not know a tomato could taste so intense, sweet, real.
4

Under the Olive Tree's Embrace



You are welcomed and led under the protective shade of a gigantic centuries-old olive tree, whose canopy opens like ancient arms ready to embrace you. It is here, in this natural sanctuary, that the show cooking is about to begin.
5

Pride of the Land



"90% of what you will eat comes from this land" they explain while cooking. Words that hold pride and a thousand-year tradition. Here true luxury is simplicity: every ingredient is an act of love, every dish a promise to nature.
6

"Nonna Luigina's Secret"


And here comes the most awaited moment: the tasting of Nonna Luigina's Sardinian Gin. The citrus notes of Sa Pompìa are released in the glass. Every sip is a journey: into the deep love for this land and into the excellence awarded the Oscar Green 2020.
More than a gin, a heritage to drink.
7

The Essence in a Gesture



They invite you to smell, bringing the glass to your lips, and a gentle voice asks: *"Can you feel it? This is the scent of Sardinia"*.

You close your eyes and breathe: it is the pure essence of this land, captured in a single drop.
8

"Tools of Memory"


You pause to observe the ancient tools, guardians of stories of toil and wisdom. Instruments that tell the value of work and the love for deep roots.
9

"What You Take Home"


Before leaving, the last toast. You carry with you more than a memory: the awareness that happiness has a simple and genuine flavour, that true wealth lies in the roots and in the hands that work with passion.
In your heart, the promise that you will return.
