FEATURES OF THE VISIT
Stroll in the vineyard
Your experience begins with a stroll through the rows of the vineyard surrounded by the colorful hilly landscape of the Gavi terroir, with the opportunity to learn about our sustainability approach which created the only Eco-Sustainable Gavi wine.
Walk in the centuries-old park
Your visit continues with a walk under the trees of the centuries-old park surrounding the mansion and overlooking the vineyard, surrounded by the unforgettable beauty of the Gavi hills, while relaxing in a rural setting with the charm of a past era.
Visit of the historic mansion
An exclusive visit awaits you at Villa La Cedraia, a late eighteenth-century mansion built with the ancient technique of rammed earth, including rooms with old-world vaulted ceilings and filled with antiques.
Guided wine tasting
You will then have a sensory wine tasting experience, with a wine tasting session guided by the winemaker, who will present the characteristics and peculiarities of each wine you taste, how it is made, how it evolves over time and how to pair the wines with food.
You will be tasting three La Cedraia wines, the Gavi DOCG in its Classic and Selection labels and its sparkling BRUT variant, paired with some traditional food samples from the surrounding area (Novese stretched focaccia, salami from Monterotondo cured with Gavi, Montebore cheese); the best way to conclude your visit that enhances the fine wines with delicious foods. We are sure that you will taste and feel the passion, love and expertise embodied in our wines and local Italian cuisine.
At the end of the tasting session, you can purchase the La Cedraia wines directly in the Wine Shop and if you want, we can have them delivered to you at home.
Do you want to engage in this Experience?
Every Saturday and Sunday, in good weather, La Cedraia opens its doors to welcome you, your family and your friends. Let yourself be seduced by the flavors of the Gavi land!
An historic mansion from the late 1700’s, constructed of local earthen materials, immersed in a centuries-old park next to verdant hills and vineyards as far as the eye can see; La Cedraia is the perfect setting for a food and wine journey where the estate’s excellent wines are paired with traditional food specialties of the area.
Marco Cremonini
Owner of Villa La Cedraia and passionate winemaker, he will accompany you on your visit. A Genovese with family roots in the Southern Piedmont, and by virtue of his experience as an environmental engineer, Marco has made the balanced development of the estate and its environmental sustainability a hallmark of his winemaking. He will guide you through a pleasant, relaxing and educational experience, where the spirit of the “Home of Gavi” can be enjoyed by visiting the centuries-old residence and park, and by tasting its fine wines paired with equally fine local cuisine.

Why come and visit us?
Nothing better than a dip into the past, fully relaxing under the trees or in the rooms on the ground floor of the mansion, while tasting the wines and getting in touch with the history of the Gavi “terroir” and the so-called Oltregiogo lands between Liguria and Piedmont.
The time spent at Villa La Cedraia will be an unforgettable experience.
You will immerse yourself in its vineyard and be connected to a place of timeless charm with the past history of a country manor and the land that surrounds it.
A visit to the old mansion has elicited feelings of enchantment from our guests, helping them (and hopefully you) discover some of the secrets behind our winemaking traditions at La Cedraia.
A reserved table – to be shared with a few selected people – will be the crowning glory of your exclusive visit to a corner of paradise not easily visible to other guests, allowing you privacy and intimacy.
A place where we are sure you will want to return because it is a refuge providing an experience of peace and serenity in contact with nature and fine Italian wine and food culture.
