In Focus
Join us for our guided hiking tour to the Ossola Valley with wine tasting.
The rock of the title is the guided hiking tour along a historical mule-track route used by ancient people. Our excursion shows megalithic sites with different meanings which take us back in time among menhirs and ruins in Montecrestese. The wine is the wine tasting which awaits us after visiting an important wine cellar of the Ossola Valley.
