Versilia Gourmet 2025
An evening scented with friendship, sea, and countryside
On Monday, July 7th, 2025, we had the honor of hosting the 15th edition of Versilia Gourmet – Franciacorta in the enchanting setting of our Paradis Agricole.
An annual event that celebrates the region’s culinary excellence, this year’s gathering was even more special thanks to a very dear friend and extraordinary guest: Giancarlo Perbellini. Reuniting on such a meaningful occasion made the evening all the more memorable.
From a sunset aperitivo among the olive trees—featuring finger foods crafted with ingredients from our eco-farm—to dinner inside the greenhouses, surrounded by marble sculptures and the scents of summer, every moment told a story: a tale of cuisine that blends land and sea, nature and vision.
Our chef Alessio Bachini, alongside the team from Paradis Pietrasanta, created a menu inspired by the theme “Countryside with a Scent of the Sea.” The evening concluded on a sweet note with a signature dessert by Perbellini: wild strawberry crisp, yogurt gelato, and lavender foam.
Thank you to the entire team and to everyone who helped make this edition truly unforgettable.

Now a few words about Pietrasanta: it is known as the “small Athens”. As it is located close to the Carrara marble quarries, sculpture is everywhere: on the public squares, in the workshops and in the galleries scattered all over the fortified town.
Pietrasanta is also a real Tuscan city with its yellow and ocher facades, his lovely Duomo, his Narrow streets which are full of life all the year long. Olives are the second passion of the local people. The hills around are covered with olive trees which determine the pace of life for the families who gather in the Fall to collect the valuable fruit.
