Castles, Wines and Traditions
The Soul of Monferrato

Just a short distance from Turin, the landscape gently transforms: the city gives way to a harmonious succession of velvety hills, neat rows of vineyards and villages that seem suspended in time. This is Monferrato, a UNESCO World Heritage land where history, traditions and the culture of wine intertwine with the authentic beauty of nature, creating scenery of rare elegance and charm.

A private visit led by the noble owners awaits at Castello di Robella, a fascinating historic residence belonging to the ADSI Piemonte circuit (Italian Historic Houses Association), set in the silence of the hills. Through atmospheric rooms, courtyards and panoramic views, the castle tells centuries of life and memory, evoking the noble past and the deep bond between these lands and the families who inhabited them. Here, time seems to slow down, accompanying visitors in an experience shaped by history, elegance and timeless landscapes.

A traditional Monferrato lunch at Alle Tre Colline – Agriturismo e Cantina follows, in a panoramic setting of great charm, where the pleasures of the table take centre stage. A meal inspired by Piedmontese culinary heritage, prepared with local ingredients and recipes handed down through generations, offers a genuine and convivial atmosphere, among the aromas of traditional cuisine, glasses of wine and sweeping views over the hills.

In the afternoon, the journey continues among the vineyards of Monferrato, the heart of Piedmont’s winemaking tradition, with a visit to a local winery, one of the area’s symbolic producers. Among vine rows, cellars and family stories, guests discover local grape varieties and the philosophy that values respect for the land and quality. The visit concludes with a guided tasting, an opportunity to savour wines that truly express the character of these hills.

An itinerary designed for those who wish to discover Piedmont in a slow and authentic way, where UNESCO landscapes, historic castles, winemaking traditions and traditional cuisine come together to reveal the truest soul of Monferrato, in a journey that blends beauty, flavour and memory.
