Visite authentique des vignobles de petits producteurs du Piémont avec un sommelier
Description
Il s'agit d'une excursion œnologique à la découverte du Monferrato : l'une des régions les plus pittoresques et les moins touristiques du Piémont, riche en histoire et en grands vins. Le premier arrêt sera un petit domaine viticole local, où je vous présenterai le vigneron et producteur, qui vous fera visiter sa cave, vous présentera ses vins et vous expliquera sa philosophie de production. Après la première visite, vous déjeunerez dans un restaurant traditionnel que j'aurai sélectionné, où vous pourrez découvrir des plats typiques du Piémont tout en profitant de la tranquillité de l'atmosphère locale. Après une pause déjeuner relaxante, nous reprendrons la route vers un autre domaine viticole traditionnel. Après avoir écouté l'histoire de la redécouverte d'un cépage autochtone ancien, nous visiterons une cave souterraine ancestrale et dégusterons, en compagnie du producteur, ses vins les plus emblématiques. Durant la journée, nous aurons l'occasion de parcourir des routes pittoresques, d'admirer les charmants recoins du Monferrato et de découvrir les trésors cachés du Piémont.

Itinéraire
Il s'agit d'une magnifique région vallonnée située à seulement 30 minutes en voiture de la ville d'Asti. Vous aurez l'occasion de découvrir quelques-uns des cépages anciens originaires de cette région et de visiter un petit producteur et son ancienne cave située en haut du vieux village.
Une courte visite de ce petit village ancien au cœur du Monferrato. Savourez un délicieux déjeuner dans un restaurant traditionnel et imprégnez-vous de l'atmosphère paisible des lieux.
Juste à l'extérieur du centre historique de Moncalvo, je vais vous montrer l'un des petits producteurs de vin les plus intéressants de la région. Mettant l'accent sur des cépages locaux anciens, une méthode naturelle et un long vieillissement, ce domaine viticole est un véritable joyau de la scène viticole locale. Vous dégusterez ces vins uniques directement à la sortie des fûts en compagnie du vigneron et de son associé.

Nicola was incredibly accommodating. He took a special request and customized our tour. Nicola is well versed in wine. So if you want a higher level experience talking wine, he’s your guy. This experience could not have been any better. Highly recommend.
It was a fantastic and unique experience that is highly recommended. Cozy atmosphere and perfect for experiencing the fantastic wines from the area and the producers. The guide was unique and told us a lot about the area, the various wines and makes the experience was tailored to our wishes.
We had a perfect day in the Monferrato with Nic. The wineries he picked for us to visit were both very good and very different from another - but both small and very personal experiences. A great tour for anyone who wants to get away from the more popular sites in the region and see the area through a local’s eyes.
Spent the day wit Alessandro and he took up to the Nieve wine village for a tasting. Wines were amazing as well as the views. Really enjoyed Alessandro and his wine knowledge. I hope to do this again in 2 years
Thank you so much for this review, It was a big pleasure hosting you on my wine tour. Hope to see you again in Piemonte !
I had a wonderful day exploring the region with Nik. He is knowledgeable on the area and the wines. Even before we met he gave suggestions on places to eat, where to visit in the area. We visited 2 wineries and had a wonderful lunch in between. He’s also arranged the shipping of my wine. You can truly tell he’s passionate about what he does and wants to share his love with others. I can not recommend this tour enough. I will be telling anyone who visits to get in touch with Nik. I can’t wait to come back and do it again!
Our sommelier Nik was great! He is an Asti native and has traveled the world seeking even more knowledge about the wine industry. His English is excellent and he was able to translate quickly for us. Both wineries (away from the busy city) we visited were smaller, family owned (perfect for us!) so it was a very relaxing, intimate tour. He is able to have our wine (of course we bought some!) shipped to the US without a mountain of paperwork. We hope to see him in another country sampling wine!
Absolutely wonderful visits to two wineries, a classic and a small new one with a flair for creativity. Our guide, Nik, was a great companion and teacher and our hostesses at each winery, who Nik well, were very welcoming. They offered us excellent wines to taste and gave much of what, during harvest season, must have been precious time. This tour was great and absolutely worth the price.
Using Viator is a great tool to find wonderful guides, I have been using it for the past few years. We have never been to this region in Italy and to our delight we had the most wonderful guide, his name is Nicola. He was born in the area of Austin and is a sommelier.He’s very knowledgeable and passionate about his industry and takes good care of the local wine makers, both small and large. He came to our hotel, picked us up and provided us with much information, not just wine related. He stayed with us a whole entire day and has a lot of knowledge of food and wine. At the end of our tour, he went out of his way to show us downtown Asti and the cathedral which was not part of our tour. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is knowledgeable in wine or a beginner. The two wineries he picked were wonderful.
Highly recommend this wonderful trip and experience with Nik to gain a much better understanding, appreciation and taste for the wines of Monferrato. He is very knowledgeable and well connected with the local industry and allowed us to places we’d not have been able to find ourselves. From being in the wine cellar beneath the former summer home of the Italian king in the 1800s, or on a hill by a small ancient country church overlooking the miles of vineyards, this tour had it all. Our guide knew so much about not just wine but the history of the area and the picturesque villages that make it all up. Our lunch stop was very memorable as well, plenty of time for a leisurely enjoyment of delicious food and wine in a peaceful Italian village in the countryside. Can’t say enough wonderful things about Nik and his tour, definitely don’t pass this up if you’d love a day immersed in the history and wine of this beautiful Piedmont region!
Ciao Logan, thank you so much for your wonderfull words. It was great spending the day with you and showing you this beatiful region. I'm glad that this wine tour was a nice pic to remember of your honey moon. I wish you and your wife all the best. Nik
We had a chance to visit two lovely wineries in the beautiful Monferrante area. Nic, our guide, was wonderful, knowledgeable, and very generous with his time. He organized a lunch in a restaurant that offered a spectacular scenery with very traditional and authentic food that was absolutely delicious. All in all, we had a fabulous day in the wine country. Would definitely recommend this tour. Grazie Nicola!
Ciao Daniel! Thank you, was a great pleasure hosting you during the tour. Hope to see you again here in Piemonte! Nik
