Swing in Cantina

Swing in Cantina, the retro festival at Cascina Montecchio

For those who love swing and retro vibes, there is a date to mark on the calendar: Swing in Cantina brings vintage rhythms and the elegance of the golden age to the rows of Cascina Montecchio in Ottiglio, a small village in the Casalese Monferrato in the Province of Alessandria, in the heart of Piedmont. It is an event designed for fun, dancing, and toasting in a truly unique setting.

A backdrop of vineyards and hills

The host winery is no ordinary place: Cascina Montecchio is a winery in the lower Monferrato, featuring 21 hectares of light, clay-rich soil and a white tuff farmhouse overlooking a small lake, nestled in a landscape that remains authentic and almost wild. It is a family story, made of orderly rows of vines and wines crafted like stories in a bottle. Celebrating here means combining music with the land: Grignolino del Monferrato Casalese, Barbera d'Asti, and the estate's own sparkling wines accompany the evening, offering guests a sincere taste of the Monferrato winemaking tradition.

Swing, dance, and vintage spirit

The soul of the event is swing: driving music, sounds that recall past decades, and that desire for lightheartedness that makes your feet move almost on their own. Swing in Cantina is the classic evening designed for those who want to spend carefree hours dancing, enjoying good company, and sipping Monferrato wine, far from the chaos and immersed in the greenery of the hills. It is a format that perfectly captures the spirit of this corner of Piedmont, where informal hospitality and a love for conviviality are at home.

Ottiglio and the Casalese Monferrato

Ottiglio is one of the many villages that dot the hills of Monferrato, an area recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site along with the Langhe and Roero for its wine landscapes. Attending Swing in Cantina is also an opportunity to discover this territory, made of wineries, hilly panoramas, and local products, in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. An event that weaves music, wine, and landscape in the most genuine way.
