PROJECT RIVIERA MONFERRATO

The Riviera of Monferrato – The Ancient Breath of the Sea

In the heart of the Lower Monferrato Astigiano, the Riviera Monferrato comes to life – a project that brings together history, nature, and authentic flavors.

Promoted by the Municipality of Cocconato, the Cocconato Consortium, the group of Explore Monferrato and the Regional Wine Cellar of the Albugnano Producers, it was created to build a strong network for the promotion and enhancement of the territory.

Its goal is to offer a unified and engaging experience, connecting villages, hills, and local products for both Italian and international visitors.

The Riviera of Monferrato is an invitation to rediscover the region’s true beauty – a land where the ancient sea still lives on, in its flavors, its landscapes, and its warm hospitality.

Visitor Information

Monferrato is stunning year-round, but the "golden periods" are spring (April-June) for the blossoms and mild weather, and autumn (September-November) for the vineyard foliage, harvest, and truffle season. Summer is perfect for outdoor evening events in charming villages like Albugnano and Cocconato.

Yes, a car is strongly recommended. The area is characterized by rolling hills and small towns (such as Aramengo, Robella, or Moncucco) that are not always frequently connected by public transport. Having your own vehicle allows you to explore scenic routes and reach isolated wineries or Romanesque churches.

Yes, booking is almost always mandatory, especially on weekends. Many businesses are family-run; booking at least 2-3 days in advance ensures a dedicated welcome and the possibility of organizing personalized tastings. You can find the booking link for each activity here on our website.
