Do you love food and good wine?
MONFERRATO FOOD TOUR
29 October - 31 October 2026
3 days - 2 nights
Monferrato is a land to be savored even before it is told. Here, among rolling hills, stone villages and vineyards that shape the horizon, food becomes memory, wine becomes landscape, and traditions become a voice. This multi-sensory food tour is an invitation to discover the authentic heart of the territory, a journey filled with the aromas of rural cuisine, historic wineries, colorful markets and traditions that have been passed down through generations. You will taste wines that speak of marine sandstone, meet craftsmen who preserve ancient knowledge, and discover recipes that tell the story of families and communities. Each stage is an experience: an aroma that surprises, a story that inspires, a landscape that enchants. A slow, elegant and deeply sensory journey, - where Monferrato is not simply visited but truly experienced.
day 1
TERRITORY & HOSPITALITY
Start your journey in Monferrato at Casale Monferrato with a warm welcome
accompanied by coffee and traditional pastries. Are you ready to
discover the region through its millennia-old history, traditions, and incredible food and wine
heritage? You'll experience magical days in a real castle!
Upon arrival at the historic residence, you'll enjoy a classic Italian aperitivo, then end the day with a dinner featuring seasonal products that showcase Piedmontese cuisine.
day 2
FROM MARKET TO TABLE
Start your morning at Casale Monferrato's historic Friday market, choosing seasonal ingredients and food and wine specialties with the chef.
Enjoy lunch at a local favorite, followed by a visit
to a UNESCO World Heritage site, a spectacular underground cave carved from stone, a hallmark of Monferrato.
Return to the Castle for a cooking class with the chef, including a tasting of dishes prepared under his supervision.
day 3
TRUFFLE, TRADITION & PASTA
Transform yourselves into truffle hunters for a morning, enjoying an immersive sensory experience in one of the region's most iconic and representative traditions. Then, continue your journey into the underground world of Pietra da Cantoni: the ancient marine limestone that has shaped Monferrato's architecture, winemaking culture, and UNESCO heritage for centuries.
Conclude the day by learning to make handmade pasta and classic regional recipes. Raise a final toast and sit down together for a farewell lunch before returning home with new skills, unforgettable memories, and the true flavor of
Monferrato.
