3 nights & 4 Days

Oltrepò Pavese

The Oltrepò Pavese wine region is one of Italy’s best-kept secrets. It is often neglected by tourists and wine lovers in favour of destinations such as Tuscany and, as a consequence, is peaceful, charming and authentic.

It climbs up the gentle hills covered with orderly rows of vineyards offering a truly authentic glimpse of Italian culture with castles, medieval villages and monasteries, spectacular panoramic views and excellent wineries.

The Oltrepò is the perfect spot for anyone interested in discovering a truly unknown part of Italy.

Unique blends and surprising specialties await you in this unexplored wine region just south of Milan
