Updated: Jun 6, 2023



Welcome to the blog of MonferratoExplorer.holiday, your reference point for exploring the beating heart of Piedmont: Monferrato. We are ready to guide you through an immersive experience that goes beyond the wonders offered by our charming region, thanks to our individual and group escort service with expert hiking guides.

Have you ever dreamed of sitting on a giant bench to enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view? The Big Benches scattered throughout Monferrato offer you this opportunity. An example? Big Bench no. 107 in Vignale Monferrato, from where you can admire the panorama of Monferrato, recognized as a UNESCO site for its extraordinary beauty.


But Monferrato is not just picture-perfect landscapes. Our region is also famous for its rich gastronomy. In Crescentino, for example, you can taste the delicious Krumiri, typical biscuits that pair perfectly with local wines. Then, don't miss the chance to try Bagnetto verde, a sauce based on parsley and garlic, perfect to accompany boiled meats.



The village of Moncalvo, on the other hand, will welcome you with its peaceful atmosphere and unique cultural heritage, including the synagogue located in the main square of the town. A true gem to discover.

If you are passionate about wine, we suggest you participate in the Open Cellars event, an annual event in which the cellars throughout Monferrato open their doors to visitors. Here you can taste local wines, visit the vineyards, and meet the producers directly. If you are art and culture lovers, the FAI Days event is for you. Monuments, historic buildings, and normally inaccessible places open their doors to the public for a weekend of extraordinary discoveries.


Vignale Monferrato is another fascinating place to explore, besides Big Bench no. 107, you will find yourself immersed in vineyards and have the opportunity to visit the Palazzo Callori, home to the Piedmont Regional Wine Shop. Here you can taste a wide selection of local wines and appreciate the surrounding panorama, a perfect example of the valuable natural heritage of this region.
