Arrival in Gavanni: A Champagne Welcome

As we arrived in the picturesque town of Gavanni, nestled in the heart of the Monferrato region, the air was filled with the promise of indulgence. The Maison Petit Perlage, a charming inn that once served as a champagnerie, welcomed us with open arms. The moment we stepped into our room, the Pinot Noir, we were greeted by a chilled bottle of champagne, setting the tone for a weekend of opulence.

The room itself was a testament to the elegance of the region, with its tasteful decor and a tub that offered a view of the rolling Monferrato hills. The idea of a champagne bath was both intriguing and decadent, a unique experience that promised to be as effervescent as the drink itself. As the sun set, we enjoyed a welcome aperitif, savoring the delicate bubbles and the anticipation of the days to come.

A Gastronomic Awakening

Morning in Gavanni was nothing short of a culinary revelation. The breakfast spread at Maison Petit Perlage was a feast for the senses, a sophisticated array of sweets, sausages, cheeses, and hot drinks, all accompanied by the ever-present champagne. Each bite was a celebration of the region’s rich culinary heritage, a testament to the passion and skill of the local artisans.

The breakfast was not just a meal but an experience, a leisurely affair that invited us to savor each moment. The champagne, with its crisp and refreshing notes, was the perfect complement to the rich flavors of the cheeses and the delicate sweetness of the pastries. It was a morning that lingered in the mind, a reminder of the simple pleasures that life in Gavanni had to offer.

Exploring Monferrato: A Tapestry of Experiences

Our journey through Monferrato was a tapestry of experiences, each more enchanting than the last. We embarked on a truffle hunting expedition with a local “trifolau,” a thrilling adventure that took us deep into the woods in search of the elusive delicacy. The excitement of the hunt was matched only by the joy of tasting the freshly unearthed truffles, their earthy aroma a perfect match for the region’s wines.

We also indulged in a cooking class, where we learned the secrets of traditional Italian cuisine from a local chef. The hands-on experience was both educational and entertaining, a chance to immerse ourselves in the flavors and techniques that define the region’s culinary identity. As we dined on our creations, paired with exquisite local wines, we felt a deep connection to the land and its people.
