Overview
-
Set off with a visit to the covered food market for an introduction to the local culinary scene and a first tasting of salami including the one made with Barbera wine produced in the town of Nizza Monferrato. Then, take a look to the “Palio” square, the oldest horse race of Italy and to the church of Saint Secondo before indulging in a tasting of some of the finest cheese from the region.
We continue through the Jewish ghetto, medieval towers and baroque churches all the way to a cozy butcher shop.
Enjoy a break in a “gastronomia” which is a shop where home-cooking type of food is prepared daily by professional chefs: two traditional “antipasti” or starters with a glass of wine will be served.
In a cozy restaurant where locals hang out, taste ravioli and “tajarin” (egg pasta) with a traditional sauce.
Our tour comes to an end with a celebration of hazelnut and chocolate delights from a pastry shop.
