Following Don Bosco
Spirituality, Hills and Wines of Monferrato

Not far from Turin, the landscape unfolds into a harmonious succession of rolling hills, vineyards and villages suspended in time. This is Monferrato, a UNESCO World Heritage land where history, tradition and spirituality coexist in a profound balance, creating places that convey silence, beauty and memory.

The day begins at Colle Don Bosco, the birthplace of Saint John Bosco, nestled in the quiet light of the Monferrato hills. The visit to the birthplace and the sanctuary leads through a deeply evocative journey among historic interiors, exhibition areas and outdoor paths that tell the story of the environment in which the saint grew up and developed his educational mission. Period objects, testimonies and spaces for reflection accompany visitors in an experience that intertwines history and spirituality, in an intimate and contemplative atmosphere.

At midday, a traditional Monferrato lunch awaits in one of the villages of the area, offering the opportunity to discover genuine local flavours, surrounded by the aromas of regional cuisine and the warm, authentic hospitality of these lands.

In the afternoon, the journey continues among the vineyards, the heart of Monferrato’s winemaking tradition, with a visit to a local winery. Here, guests discover production techniques, fermentation and ageing cellars, and the philosophy that has preserved the character of local wines for generations. The visit concludes with a guided tasting, an ideal moment to savour aromas and flavours that truly express the identity of this land.

An itinerary that brings together spirituality, UNESCO landscapes, historic villages and winemaking traditions, offering a slow, harmonious and deeply evocative journey to discover the most authentic soul of Monferrato through places, stories and atmospheres that speak to the heart.
