Travel Tour Overview
Monferrato Gravel Adventure is a 3-day cycling journey through the discovery of Alto Monferrato, an authentic area characterized by rolling hills, vineyards, historic villages, and a rich tradition of food and wine. Each day is dedicated to a symbol of Monferrato and to its most representative wines: Ovada DOCG, Barbera, and Moscato. These wines are the protagonists of guided tastings held directly in local wineries, where participants can meet local producers and discover the true spirit of these hills.
The route takes participants through Ovada, Carpeneto, Montaldo Bormida, Acqui Terme, Cassine, and Strevi, with carefully designed stages combining outdoor activities, culture, and the pleasure of local cuisine. Along the way, the tour includes stops at historic farmhouses, regional wine shops, agriturismos, and traditional Piedmontese restaurants, allowing guests to taste local specialties and fully experience the authentic Monferrato lifestyle.

Lunches and dinners featuring traditional Piedmontese products, luggage transfer between accommodations, and organizational assistance throughout the entire experience are also included.
