✱ An evening walk and feeding the alpacas
Enjoy an evening that slows time down – our Double Date with alpacas is an ideal way to disconnect from the outside world for a while and tune back in – to yourself, your partner, your friends. On an early-evening walk with our alpacas, you treat yourself to calm, quiet and an easy connection with animals that can wonderfully settle even the busiest mind. Afterwards, you can feed the alpacas in our AlpaCafé bistro from the comfort of your seat. After the feeding we serve Italian antipasti, and a glass of wine or another drink of your choice is included in the price.
Perfect for a romantic evening for two, but also for an unusual experience with friends or loved ones. Alcoholic drinks are included in the price of this event, so Double Date is only for guests over 18 years old.
✱ How does this activity work?
Slow down and enjoy an evening that belongs only to you – and the alpacas. Double Date with alpacas is an evening experience-based therapy that brings together a calm walk with these kind animals, gentle contact while feeding them and shared moments over a glass of wine and a selection of Italian antipasti at AlpaCafé.
- After entering the grounds, turn right and you will find our AlpaCafé bistro. Please be on time, the activity starts at the exact scheduled time.
- Show our staff your reservation confirmation and you will be shown where the activity begins.
- The Double Date begins with a short walk through our natural grounds, where our animal care assistants share lots of interesting facts about alpacas (and not only ours).
- Then you move to our AlpaCafé bistro, where you take a seat and the alpacas move freely among you.
- Each participant receives a small bowl with a portion of feed – give the feed slowly, in small amounts, so the alpacas can chew it more easily. The amount of feed is set in advance and approved by our vet because alpacas have sensitive digestion, so it cannot be increased. How long the feeding lasts depends mostly on you – the more calmly you enjoy the moment, the longer it lasts.
- When the feeding is over, our staff lead the alpacas to their enclosure next door, where you can watch them rest for a while. The end of the evening belongs to good food – enjoy a glass of wine (or a non-alcoholic alternative) and a selection of fresh Italian delicacies prepared for you by our team.
✱ GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS AND VISITING WITH CHILDREN
Double Date with alpacas is an evening experience that brings together movement, quiet, touch and taste – creating space to unwind, to share and to connect more deeply with yourself and with others. As the day fades, the alpacas become gentle companions for your evening together.
This experience is designed mainly for adults – because alcoholic drinks are served, and because of the menu and the overall atmosphere, which is calm, intimate and suited to the evening. Visiting with children is not forbidden as such, but please consider whether this kind of activity suits them. If you decide to bring children, the accompanying adult is responsible for their behaviour.
Please follow the instructions of our staff – they are there to protect you, other guests and the alpacas themselves. If any behaviour disrupts the activity or puts anyone’s safety at risk, we reserve the right to step in.
Thank you for coming to us with respect, curiosity and an open heart. That is when the most beautiful moments happen – quiet, sincere and unforgettable.
✱ What will you taste during Double Date?
After the walk and feeding the alpacas, antipasti for two awaits you, full of authentic Italian flavours. We serve it with a glass of wine or a non-alcoholic alternative of your choice.
✱ Italian cured meats
Prosciutto, mortadella and spicy Ventricina salami.
✱ A selection of Italian cheeses
Parmigiano Reggiano & Pecorino Romano.
✱ Mediterranean extras
Sun-dried tomatoes, olives and extra virgin olive oil with a freshly baked baguette.
✱ Recommended preparation before your visit
This activity takes place both outdoors and in our AlpaCafé bistro, which is semi-open, so please dress for the weather on the day. We recommend clothes and shoes that can get dirty. Sandals or open shoes are not recommended, as an alpaca might accidentally step on your foot. Like dogs, alpacas have soft pads on their feet, but their toenails can be quite sharp.
Because part of this activity takes place in the AlpaCafé bistro, it goes ahead even in bad weather. If it rains, the walk may be cancelled – but you will have all the more time with the alpacas indoors while feeding them. The bistro is heated in the winter months, but we still recommend dressing warmly, as you may feel cold. In summer, we recommend bringing a hat and sunglasses and wearing sunscreen.
