1. Cantina Fontechiara
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 298 reviews
Fontechiara is a small winery located in the Northeast area of Piedmont. We produce high quality red wines, that are faithful expression of the territory as they are made with native local grapes such as the famous Nebbiolo and the ancient Vespolina. We receive tourists for tours and wine tasting together with homemade delicacies, local charcuterie and cheeses especially selected to bring out the best flavors and characteristics of each wine.

My husband and I visited Cantina Fontechiara on our last day in Italy and it was the winery we were searching for the entire time we were there. It was hard to choose our favorite because each wine was amazing and had its own unique personality. Really the “best” wine would depend on the event, the weather, or your mood. La Nonna would be great on a hot sunny day. The Vespolina would be great with pizza. Il Nonno would be great with a steak. But what really made the visit so enjoyable was Valentina. She told us about the wines, the owners, the history of the winery, and some about herself. Instead of feeling like you were at a commercial winery, it felt like we were spending the afternoon with a good friend and chatting over great wine. One of our best memories and experiences from our trip.

It's a bit of a hike up hill from the very lovely town of Orta San Guilia on a glorious lake, Lago d'Orta. This is like a pilgrimage to Saint Francis. There are 15-20 small chapels, each with life-size reproductions of events in the Saint's life. The human figures are remarkeably realistic and life like. It's a very quiet and serene environment and well worth a visit in this most lovely spot in the Lake District of Northern Italy

Calm, charming and beautiful place. Even before spring we spent there warm Sunday afternoon. Highly recommended.

taking the boat from the main square in Orta San Giulio to San Giulio Island takes less then 5 minutes - the return trip is Euro 4.50. The boat runs every half hour or so. Once on the island, you 're in a peaceful and serene environment. The large monastery dominating the island is not publicly accessible, but the footpath around the island is picturesque - incidentally it is called 'la voie du silence' (trail of silence). Make sure to visit the Basicila di San Giulio, a 13th century church with many (restored) wall and ceiling frescoes...

This is the main hub of Orta. It's filled with restaurants and, the day we were there, an outdoor market. It's the place from which the ferry and private boats leave for Isola San Guilio.
