2 days - 1 night

Ricaldone
Activity description

Welcome to a corner of Southern Piedmont where unspoiled nature blends with the legacy of historic villages. A journey through the regenerating silence of Bosco delle Sorti, a protected area where century-old oaks whisper ancient stories and shaded trails invite visitors to walk at a leisurely pace. Leaving the dense woodland behind, the horizon opens onto the geometric vineyards of Ricaldone, the music village which cradled the soul of Luigi Tenco and now welcomes travelers with the intense fragrances of Moscato and Brachetto. The experience comes to a close among the medieval atmospheres of Cassine, where Gothic churches, silent cloisters and ancient noble buildings protect an artistic heritage of extraordinary beauty. Experiences which merge hiking in nature, the emotion of iconic songwriting, and the authentic flavors of a generous land.

Program

day 1
Meet your nature guides in Cassine and embark on a hiking trail through the Bosco delle Sorti - La Communa, a Protected Natural Area and Site of Regional Importance (SIR).
This vast shared woodland area stretching between the municipalities of Cassine and Ricaldone is a unique labyrinth of biodiversity. Its name, linked to the ancient concept of collective ownership ("la communa"), evokes centuries of history when the local community lived in perfect symbiosis with the forest.
An experience of pure sensory regeneration, where the scent of moist earth and the silence of the trees prepare the spirit before reopening to the light of the surrounding vineyards.
Hike duration: 3 hours – 10 km – Class T
Afterwards, a short transfer to Ricaldone: this small Piedmont gem hosts the annual summer music festival L’isola in collina, dedicated to singer-songwriters and the memory of Luigi Tenco.
Free lunch

In the afternoon, visit the Luigi Tenco Museum, the first true museum and permanent documentation center in Italy entirely dedicated to a singer-songwriter. Housed in the evocative rooms of the former municipal nursery school, this intimate and captivating space is an emotional journey back in time, designed to preserve the memory and work of one of the most revolutionary artists of Italian culture.

Dinner at a tavern/agriturismo and overnight stay in a farmhouse/albergo diffuso.

day 2
A morning dedicated to discovering the region's finest products.
In Cassine, visit a beekeeping farm where you'll observe the tireless work of the bees and learn the secrets of beekeeping, before being captivated by the sweetness of Monferrato honey. Follow this with a guided tour of the winery and a tasting of the area's iconic wines, amidst intense aromas and picture-perfect views.

In the afternoon, visit the Convent Complex of San Francesco with the Church of San Francesco: built between 1291 and 1327 by the Conventual Franciscan Friars Minor, this extraordinary exposed brick temple represents one of the rarest and most significant examples of Lombard Gothic architecture with Cistercian influences in Piedmont.
