Harvest & Hearth: An Overnight Farm-to-Table Retreat at Il Vecchio Ranch from Mexico City

Embark on a unique overnight escape to Il Vecchio Ranch in the rolling hills of Hidalgo, where sustainability and farm-to-table living come to life. Your adventure begins with a delicious breakfast at the iconic Nico’s in Mexico City, fueling up before a scenic two-hour drive to the ranch.

Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed by the team behind Il Vecchio’s innovative approach to sustainable agriculture. The ranch supplies fresh produce to Nico’s, and today you’ll experience the process firsthand—strolling through organic gardens, learning about regenerative farming, and harvesting your own vegetables for the evening meal.

In the afternoon, join a hands-on cooking session led by the ranch’s chef, transforming your freshly picked ingredients into a seasonal dinner to be shared with your group. As dusk falls, settle into your cozy, hobbit-inspired house nestled beneath the stars—each one designed for comfort and connection with nature.

For those craving a bit more adventure, optional horseback riding lessons are available for an additional $50 USD, offering a chance to explore the ranch’s scenic trails and learn horsemanship basics.

Wake up to the sounds of the countryside and enjoy a light breakfast before returning to Mexico City, refreshed and inspired by this immersive journey into sustainable living and rural hospitality.
