Trip highlights:
- True culinary delights

From Wine to Rice by E-Bike
Welcome to Monferrato, a true jewel of Piedmont, whose unique wine-growing landscape has been recognised by UNESCO. Here, nature, culture, art, gastronomy, wellness and sport combine into unforgettable experiences. Majestic castles rise above the gentle hills, ancient infernot (underground wine cellars) bear witness to centuries of winemaking tradition, and scattered land art installations add striking accents to the scenery. For outdoor enthusiasts, Monferrato is a paradise with countless kilometres of trails, ideal for cycling and exploring.

After setting off on the cycling tour, we see the imposing church of Treville in the distance.
