4 Steps Among the Vineyards

A walk in the heart of the Colli Piacentini

4 Steps Among the Vineyards is a food and wine walk that takes place in Ziano Piacentino, a small municipality in the Province of Piacenza, in Emilia-Romagna, considered one of the most representative wine-producing centers of Val Tidone. The event offers an itinerary of about 5 kilometers on dirt and asphalt roads, winding through the rows and gentle hills of the Colli Piacentini, offering participants suggestive views and the opportunity to discover the wine landscape up close.
