Food & Wine Itineraries

The Monregalese encompasses a territory that is particularly rich in biodiversity, where alpine valleys alternate with rolling hills and plains. The land is well suited for the production of chestnuts, hazelnuts, fruit trees and grapevines, especially the Dolcetto grape. The local Raschera cheese is made from rich milk produced by Razza Piemontese cows that graze on wildflowers and herbs in the upland pastures. The Monregalese's vast areas of woodlands are the source of many prized culinary products including: porcini mushrooms, truffles, wild boar and venison. Traditional Monregalese cuisine is based upon all of these ingredients.
