About this experience
This is a wine tour to discover the real Monferrato: one of the most evocative areas of Piedmont, rich in history and great wines.
The first stop will be a small organic cellar in the area where you will have the opportunity to meet the producer who will guide you in the discovery of his cellar, its wines and its history.
After the first visit, I will take you to a restaurant in the area that I have selected where you can discover typical dishes of the renowned Piedmontese gastronomy.
After a relaxing lunch break we will leave for another family winery where you will taste other important native wines such as Barbera, Moscato, Freisa, Grignolino.
Throughout the journey we will be able to travel along panoramic roads and I will show you some of the most beautiful and fascinating corners of Monferrato.
Furthermore, there will be time to introduce you to the main productions of the region, I will tell you about the main denominations and the various native and historical vines grown here.
