Moriano can be explored through winemaking, tastings and regional food and wine destinations. Vineyards, cellars, historic rooms and an old mill offer different ways to enjoy a stay that combines culinary experiences with culture. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Moriano, it is best to base your choice on the travel theme that matters most to you: winemaking, shared tastings, regional cuisine or historical discoveries.

Winemaking as the common thread

In Moriano, Azienda Andi manages 7 hectares of vineyards. The winery produces typical wines of Oltrepò Pavese, including white, red and traditionally method-produced sparkling wines. These sparkling wines mature for 48 to 60 months. Azienda Andi also produces natural wines. Its farming practices developed from initially organic agriculture through biodynamic farming to experimental natural methods of ecological agriculture, which are also used today.

Grape varieties and the location of the San Martino vineyard

The San Martino vineyard illustrates the diversity of regional winemaking particularly well. Croatina, Barbera, Uva Rara, Riesling, Cortese, Moscato, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and Pinot Nero are cultivated there. The vineyard lies at an altitude of 250 to 300 metres and faces southeast. For you, this combination of numerous grape varieties, elevation and southeastern exposure provides a concrete starting point if you want not only to taste wine but also to learn about its agricultural foundations.

Tastings with a long history

Cantina Belcredi organises guided tours of its vineyards and cellars, combined with tastings of its wines. Azienda Agricola Belcredi can be traced back to 1906. A visit therefore combines practical insights into vineyards and cellars with the long history of the agricultural business. This combination appeals to travellers who, during a stay in Moriano, want not only to admire the landscape but also to get to know specific places of production.

Historic rooms and agricultural learning

Fausto Andi’s “cantina perfetta” was renovated using materials from the 16th century. Fausto Andi’s company was recognised as an accredited teaching farm in 2006. Together, these facts give the wine theme a cultural and agricultural dimension, without limiting the visit to a mere tasting. Historic building fabric and an exploration of farming work thus complement the impressions made by the vineyards.

Garden, cuisine and an old mill

Cuisine is also one of Moriano’s tangible culinary attractions. Agriturismo Almaste grows various vegetables in its garden, which are used in the agriturismo’s kitchen for guests’ dishes. Agriturismo Al Mastè is located in Località Moriano, 27040 Montù Beccaria. In an old mill, Fausto Andi offers the opportunity to dine and taste the winery’s wines; overnight accommodation is also available there on request.

The right holiday apartment for planning your trip

This creates a varied but clear framework for choosing your holiday apartment in Moriano. If you want to focus on vineyards and grape varieties, Azienda Andi and the San Martino vineyard lead to different aspects of winemaking. If guided tours and tastings are more important to you, Cantina Belcredi offers a suitable focus. Those who want to combine culinary experiences with history can consider the old mill and the “cantina perfetta”. This allows you to choose your accommodation based on the experiences you want to define your trip, without reducing Moriano to just one type of holiday.
