New Regulations and Opportunities
The new national guidelines set clear rules for tourist harvesting. Companies must delineate the areas designated for this activity and communicate a series of information to the SUAP (One-Stop Shop for Productive Activities), including the names of the company representative and the harvest tutor. These individuals are key figures ensuring the proper conduct of the activity and the safety of participants.
Benefits and Challenges
Among the advantages of the new regulations is the possibility of organizing tourist harvesting as a separate enotourism product. However, there are also some challenges. For example, the activity can only be conducted twice a week, a limitation that could reduce opportunities during the harvest period.
Safety First
It is essential that participants are informed about the risks of harvesting and appropriate clothing. Companies must clearly communicate this information but are not required to provide the necessary equipment. Additionally, it is important to avoid interference between tourist harvesters and professionals by clearly separating the work areas.
Conclusions
Tourist harvesting represents an interesting opportunity for wineries to engage the public in their activities but requires careful management and compliance with new regulations. To delve deeper into these topics, we invite everyone to join our online webinar with lawyer Floriana Risuglia, Vice President of UGIVI, Delegate of ONAV ROMA, and Member of the Wine and Food Law Commission COA ROMA, which will be held on June 18, 2024, at 2:00 PM.
