About Cassinelle Vintage Car Rally
The Cassinelle Vintage Car Rally & Lunch
In the heart of the Alto Monferrato, where the hills of the Alessandria province slope down toward the Ligurian Apennines, the town of Cassinelle hosts a day entirely dedicated to classic automobiles. The Vintage Car Rally & Lunch is organized by the Pro Loco Cassinelle, blending a passion for vintage motors with the pleasure of good food and local discovery in one of the most picturesque settings in southeastern Piedmont.
A tour through the Monferrato hills
The day begins with participants gathering at the Ex Chiesa di Santa Margherita for registration. After a warm welcome, the convoy of classic cars sets off on a scenic tour through the rolling hills, offering breathtaking views of the Ovada and Alto Monferrato countryside. The itinerary includes a private visit to the Museo Afer in Tiglieto, a must-see for automotive enthusiasts, before returning to Cassinelle.
A convivial lunch
Following the tour, the rally turns into a village celebration open to all. A convivial lunch is served in the Colombara area, featuring a traditional menu: ravioli, roast meat, dessert, water, and coffee. This culinary experience, the highlight of the day, is open not only to rally participants but to anyone who books in advance, offering a chance to savor authentic Piedmontese flavors in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.
Supporting the local community
More than just a car show, the Vintage Car Rally & Lunch is an initiative that celebrates the community of Cassinelle and the wider Ovada region. The Pro Loco, always active in promoting the village, has created a format that combines classic motoring, slow tourism, and gastronomy, helping to introduce this hidden corner of Piedmont to visitors from further afield.
