A sip of Monferrato: wines, historic wineries and underground cathedrals
A visit to the Monferrato isn’t complete without a sensory journey through its most iconic wines. This is the birthplace of renowned labels such as Barbera d’Asti, Grignolino and Ruché.
Explore historic wineries and enjoy guided tastings that reveal the soul of these places, accompanied by stories of families who have passed down their winemaking knowledge for generations.
Delve even deeper and discover the extraordinary Underground Cathedrals of Canelli — vast tunnels carved into the limestone tuff, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. These kilometers of corridors guard the secrets of sparkling wine aging, creating an almost mystical atmosphere.
Enchanted villages, castles and secret infernot
Strolling through the hills of the Monferrato, you’ll encounter a succession of medieval villages and castles overlooking the landscapes. From Moncalvo, with its picturesque square, to Nizza Monferrato, the vibrant heart of traditions and artisan shops, and Cocconato, the “Riviera of Monferrato,” so nicknamed for its geographic position, which gives it a particularly mild climate that favors the growth of plants typical of coastal areas.
Discover the majesty of Gabiano Castle, one of the oldest in Piedmont, or experience a unique underground adventure with the Infernot — small hand-carved stone chambers, authentic underground wine treasures. It’s a journey back in time through the hills and wineries of Cella Monte, one of the most picturesque villages in the area.
Breathtaking landscapes and nature to experience
The Monferrato is a paradise for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Explore its trails on foot or by bike, winding through vineyards that change color with every season and be surprised by views that seem painted.
Photography enthusiasts will find unforgettable sunsets that bathe the hills in warm light.
If you’re looking for relaxation, the ancient spa traditions of Acqui Terme and Agliano Terme are now revived in hotels and charming resorts, where wellness meets refined hospitality.
Contemporary art among the vineyards
Monferrato is not just history and nature: here, art meets the vineyards. In Castelnuovo Calcea, the Art Park La Court is an open-air museum among the vines, where contemporary art installations engage in dialogue with the surrounding countryside, offering a unique experience that blends wine, culture and beauty.

Authentic flavors and refined hospitality
Monferrato is also a land to savor slowly. Discover it through special experiences such as the Monferrato Food & Wine Tasting Tour or a Truffle Experience, immersing yourself in the magic of truffle hunting across the hills.
After so many experiences, indulge in a stay at a 5-star hotel or an elegant countryside resort, where tradition meets exclusive hospitality.
