This is a delightful walk among the wooded hills and vineyards of the one-time principality of Masserano, in the Piedmont of Northern Italy. It is an all day affair, and the 8 kilometres can be taken in a leisurely manner, (it is absolutely non-competitive.) The walk is interspersed by six stops along the way where one can sit and sample typical local dishes, savour the local wines, and enjoy live music.
The day finishes up in the 13th century square of Masserano's Borgo Antico where a folk group sings songs in dialect while under the medieval porticos farmers sell local products such as cheeses, salamis and honey.
A sommelier from the Enoteca of Roppolo (where there is a permanent display of wines,) will lead a wine tasting session of selected local wines.
