About this tour
Explore Monferrato, Piedmont's quieter wine region, guided by a sommelier through two small producers' cellars and vineyards. This seven-hour tour reveals how local winemakers approach their craft—from natural fermentation philosophies to the revival of indigenous grape varieties. You'll walk through rolling countryside between visits, sit down to regional cooking at a family-run restaurant, and taste wines directly from the producers themselves, learning their stories alongside their bottles.

What to expect
You'll spend the morning at the first winery, where the producer walks you through their cellar and philosophy—expect to understand how they work rather than receive polished marketing. After a leisurely lunch in a quiet local spot (your choice of dishes, paid separately), you'll head to the second producer. Here you'll descend into their historic underground cellar, hear how they've revived an old native variety, and taste their standard releases. Between venues, your sommelier will point out the landscape and smaller discoveries—old villages, vineyards, quiet corners. The pace is unhurried; this isn't a tick-box itinerary.
Good to know
