Vini al Castello

A day dedicated to the wines of the Ovadese region

Vini al Castello is the food and wine event that the Castello di Trisobbio dedicates to the winemaking excellence of its territory. For an entire day, from morning until evening, the halls and courtyards of the manor transform into a grand hall of taste, where visitors can sample local wines guided by professional sommeliers. At the heart of the event is the Ovada DOCG, the signature wine of these hills, joined by a rich selection of labels from producers across the Ovadese area.

The Castello di Trisobbio, a timeless setting

The venue itself is one of the main attractions: the Castello di Trisobbio dates back to the early 13th century and was a fiefdom of the Marquises of Bosco, later the Malaspina, and finally the Spinola. At the beginning of the 20th century, it was restored under the direction of architect Alfredo D'Andrade, who brought its medieval appearance back to light. Since 1989, the castle and its park have belonged to the Municipality of Trisobbio, a small village in the province of Alessandria nestled in the hills of the Alto Monferrato ovadese, in Piedmont.

Tastings, music, and Piedmontese cuisine

The Vini al Castello formula weaves together three ingredients: wine, music, and dining. While sommeliers guide guests through their glasses, the atmosphere is warmed by live music and DJ sets that animate the day. The Ristorante del Castello, led by chef Juri Risso, remains open for lunch and dinner with a menu deeply inspired by the solid Piedmontese culinary tradition, the ideal pairing for the great reds of the territory.

A network for regional promotion

The event stems from the collaboration between the Castello di Trisobbio and a network of organizations committed to promoting local food and wine: the Enoteca Regionale di Ovada e del Monferrato, the Consorzio di Tutela e Promozione dell'Ovada DOCG, the Municipality of Trisobbio, and the local tourism agency ALEXALA. It is an opportunity to discover not only the wines but the entire heritage of traditions, landscapes, and flavors that makes the Ovadese one of the most authentic lands in Piedmont.
