Experience hosted by Alex
Escape the hustle and bustle of Milan and join me, a local winemaker, for a full-day private escape to my family-run vineyard in the charming and lesser-known Oltrepò Pavese region, just one hour away from the city. After a scenic drive through the picturesque hills, we'll stop to take in a breathtaking panoramic viewpoint before heading to my vineyard.
Once we arrive, we’ll begin with a guided tour of the winery, where I’ll share the story of our family business, our artisanal methods, and the passion that goes into every bottle. You’ll discover the winemaking process and get a behind-the-scenes look at our cellar.
After the tour, you'll be treated to a private wine tasting experience where you’ll sample 8–10 of our finest wines, carefully paired with local specialties. Alongside the wines, a light lunch will be served featuring a curated selection of salumi, cheeses, seasonal vegetables, and other typical products from the region, all enjoyed on our panoramic terrace or in our cozy tasting room.
You’ll also have the chance to unwind with a relaxing walk through the vineyards, where I’ll take you through the beauty of the landscape and offer further insights into the world of winemaking.
This experience offers a perfect blend of nature, history, and local culture—an ideal day trip for those looking to escape the crowds and enjoy authentic Italian wine, food, and countryside beauty, all just an hour from Milan.

Hi, I'm Alex — a winemaker from Oltrepò Pavese, a hidden gem of Italian wine just one hour from Milan.
I’m passionate about wine, people, and sharing the beauty of my region with travelers who want to go beyond the typical tourist path.
I grew up surrounded by vineyards, and today I run the family winery with the same passion and respect for the land.
I love creating meaningful, relaxed experiences: walking through the vines, tasting our wines on a panoramic terrace, and connecting over good food and good stories.
You’ll be welcomed not by a tour guide, but by the winemaker himself — me — and I’ll show you a side of Italy that most people never get to see.
If you’re curious about real wine, real people, and real countryside life, I’d love to host you.
