The Full Story
What is Sommastè?
About Us
Sommastè
/SOHM Uh Stay/
noun
Sommelier (wine expert) + Namastè (Hindi greeting)= Sommastè
​
Besides combining two important words, Sommastè is also about two of life's most enjoyable activities:
Wine and Yoga.
Sometimes together, sometimes combined with other activities, like a pasta cooking class or a creative art project.
The best part - we do all of this in one of the most stunningly beautiful places on earth- the Gallura region of Sardinia, home to the famed Costa Smeralda.
There's a reason people on this paradise island live the longest, and I'm going to give you a glimpse into why.
Hint- Cannonau wine has more antioxidants than any other.
Come join us to discover more of Sardinia's secrets!
