Golosaria Monferrato - Conzano
A journey through art, olive oil, and wine in the village of Conzano
About Golosaria Conzano
Conzano, a Golosaria stop in the heart of Monferrato
Every year, during the Golosaria among the Monferrato Castles weekend, the village of Conzano, in the province of Alessandria, opens its doors to food lovers and the curious. Resting on the UNESCO-listed Monferrato Casalese hills, the town offers a walking itinerary that combines art, olive oil, and wine—three keywords that define the identity of this corner of Piedmont. It is more than just a tasting; it is a journey through gardens, historic palaces, and cellars, with a tasting glass always in hand.
A three-stop route
The Conzano trail is divided into three stops designed to help you discover the village and its flavors. It begins at the Historic Olive Grove Garden in Piazza Accatino, where you can sample extra virgin olive oil from Monferrato producers paired with local sparkling wine. You then head up towards Villa Vidua and its Civic Tower, which offers a 360-degree view of the hills; the villa is the historic home of explorer and writer Carlo Vidua and houses a multimedia museum dedicated to his travels. The final stop is Tenuta Vallone, a farm estate that concludes the route with its wines.
The flavors of Monferrato
Along the way, you will taste the products that have made this land famous: extra virgin olive oil, indigenous wines such as Grignolino del Monferrato Casalese and Barbera, accompanied by local cheeses and cured meats. Sparkling wines and vermouth complete a journey that also tells the story of the farming and artisanal expertise of the hills between Asti and Alessandria.
Golosaria, a widespread festival
Conzano is part of a much larger mosaic: Golosaria among the Monferrato Castles involves over forty municipalities in the provinces of Asti and Alessandria, transforming the entire territory into a stage for taste. Created by journalist Paolo Massobrio and the Club di Papillon, the event offers dozens of itineraries through castles, villages, and cellars, featuring walks, cycling routes, exhibitions, and wine shops. The Conzano stop is one of the most intimate and human-scale ways to experience this great widespread festival.
