Guided Tours at San Leo Cashmere Begin at the Stable: Exploring the Process of Cashmere Production



San Leo Cashmere offers guided tours starting from the stable. Visitors have the opportunity to learn about the goats' lifestyle, the farming practices, and the production process of the precious cashmere wool. The farm employs three Maremma/Abruzzo guard dogs, including Lea, Argo, and Nina, for the protection and surveillance of the flock. The experienced shepherd, Brando, uses his skills to manage the herd efficiently.

Upon arrival at the yarn laboratory, guests are introduced to various stages of cashmere processing, including hand-combing, washing with natural detergents, drying, de-gassing, and carding. These processes culminate in creating high-quality cashmere items such as neck wraps, gloves, scarves, sweaters, stole accessories, baby and child wear, tailored clothing, and more.

To complement their tour experience, visitors enjoy a refreshing snack featuring locally sourced products like traditional pecorino cheese, cured meats, freshly baked San Leo bread, seasonal fruits, and beverages including water and wine. This concludes the tour, allowing visitors to relax and take in the scenic garden setting.
