Tourists among the vines, from the rows to the goblet. The best way to get to know the villages, the culture and the traditions of the Oltrepò Pavese is to take a tour of the cellars. Discover important wines, immerse yourself in the charm of historic cellars, savour the taste of local products.
Outdoor sports
