Staying at Cascina Ponchietta means giving yourself time. The agriturismo experiences we offer in the Roero, Piedmont are designed for those who want to immerse themselves in farm life, learn something new, and slow down.
Walk the Rocche del Roero
From our agriturismo in the Roero, you can easily reach the trails of the Ecomuseo delle Rocche: woods and open panoramas across hills and valleys. Routes for different fitness levels, perfect even for families, for a morning out or a full day in nature.
On request, we can prepare a trail map and a picnic basket with local produce, so your walk turns into a proper open-air feast.
✓ Trail map of the Rocche
✓ Picnic basket with local produce
✓ Routes for different difficulty levels
✓ Panoramic views over the Roero hills
On request, bookable a couple of days in advance. Available in fine weather during the warmer months.
Taste our organic wines
The vineyards surrounding the farm are where our three organic wines are born. Come down to the cellar: we’ll tell you how we make them, then you can taste them with a couple of slices of salame, a piece of tuma cheese, and a handful of Roero hazelnuts.
✓ Langhe Nebbiolo DOC
✓ Piemonte Barbera DOC
✓ Caio, from aromatic Brachetto grapes, dry
On request, bookable a couple of days in advance. Available from April to December.
A sunset aperitivo on the terrace
When the afternoon light turns warm, there is a spot on the terrace waiting for you. A quiet moment, made for those who love the stillness of the countryside with a glass in hand.
On request. Available in fine weather during the warmer months.
Make fresh pasta with us
Tagliatelle, tajarin, ravioli del plin: Piedmontese fresh pasta is learned with your hands. Flour, eggs, and the right touch, the kind that gets passed down. Time enough for one dough, to discover how a dish from the local tradition is born.
On request, bookable 3 days in advance. Available in spring and autumn.
Walk through the vineyards
Our vineyards are just a short walk from the farmhouse. You can head out whenever you like and wander among the rows of Nebbiolo, Barbera and Brachetto grapes, the three varieties behind our wines. In spring the vines come back to life, in summer the clusters take shape, in autumn the rows turn red and gold.
Freely available throughout your stay.
Recharge under the energy pyramid
The energy pyramid, built to the golden ratio by Chiara Casetta of Pyramid Energy, a dear friend and neighbour, sits in a dedicated corner beside the pool. We are glad to share the experience with our guests: those who try it speak of finding calm, focus, and a sense of lightness.
You can lie down on the bed inside, rest in silence, and simply recharge. Early in the morning or at sunset, when everything is quiet, it is also a good moment to meditate if you wish.
Check the calendar on the notice board in the breakfast room to book your wellness hour.
On request. Available in fine weather during the warmer months.
Some experiences are on request, others are simply here, ready and waiting. If you have questions or would like to arrange something specific, write to us.
