Golosaria among the Castles of Monferrato — Opening of Cereseto Castle

Golosaria among the Castles in Cereseto

In the heart of Monferrato, the small town of Cereseto in the province of Alessandria becomes one of the most evocative stops on the Golosaria among the Castles of Monferrato trail, the major widespread event created by journalist and food critic Paolo Massobrio with the Club di Papillon. For this event, Cereseto Castle exceptionally opens its doors to the public: an exclusive and highly anticipated appointment, marking the reopening of the imposing structure after a long and meticulous renovation.

A castle brought back to life

Cereseto Castle is one of the most scenic buildings in the Monferrato hills, with its neo-Gothic silhouette dominating the vineyard landscape. During Golosaria, you can visit the exterior perimeter of the castle, stroll through the park with its lake, and discover the charming cloister, along a route that blends architecture, nature, and an atmosphere of bygone days. It is a rare opportunity to approach a site that has long remained closed and rediscover its charm.

Local flavors and hospitality

The castle opening is accompanied by food stalls run by the local Pro Loco, offering local flavors in a festive village atmosphere. Cereseto thus joins the rich mosaic of Golosaria, which every year involves over forty villages between the provinces of Asti and Alessandria with wineries, street food, exhibitions, walks, and performances.

The context: Golosaria among the Castles

Golosaria among the Castles of Monferrato is one of the most well-known food and wine events in Piedmont. The exhibition hub is located at the Castle of Casale Monferrato, featuring dozens of food producers selected by «ilGolosario», craft breweries, and the Barbera & Champagne area. Around this core, dozens of Monferrato villages — a UNESCO World Heritage site alongside Langhe and Roero — open their castles, churches, and squares, transforming the entire area into a journey of taste, art, and landscape. The Cereseto stop is a small jewel in this itinerary, perfect for those seeking an authentic experience away from the crowds.
