Azienda Agricola Ferrari Dario e Alberto

If you’d really like to immerse yourself in all things wine-related, you’ve come to the right place. There are numerous wineries dotted around these landscapes, perhaps best visited on a cycle tour through the vineyards and stopping in for the odd tasting. Mix it up with a dip into the area’s history via visits to places like Civico Museo Archeologico di Casteggio e dell'Oltrepò Pavese (20 minutes’ drive) and gorgeous buildings like Castello Dal Verme di Zavattarello (35 minutes). You may also like to take a stroll around the pretty town of Voghera (half an hour) or spend the day in Milan (an hour and 10 minutes), taking in major sights like the Duomo and Pinacoteca di Brera. Back in the countryside, there are adrenaline activities at Parco Avventura Salice-Terme and western-themed rides and shows at Cowboyland (35 minutes). The area is also dotted with several exhibits from the Big Bench community art project – check out numbers 149 - Calvignano (20 minutes) and 163 - Casteggio (25 minutes) for a start.
