 Welcome to Cascina Blon

A typical 19th century Piedmont farmstead returns to life thanks to the careful restoration of its current owners Evi and Kalle. 

 

Located in the hills of Monferrato and Langhe area, this farm holiday establishment covers approximately three hectares, 

with a lovely garden, meadows, olive grove and vineyard with Barbera and Moscato grapes.   

 

Welcoming and elegant yet comfortable and cozy, Cascina Blon always makes its guests feel at home. 

Our Story

Cascina Blon is in an area known for its great Piedmont wines. Its name comes from a well-known family of the area -- the Belloni family -- that first owned the farmstead back in the 19th century. 

 

The current owners wanted to preserve the spirit of the home. In fact, you can admire original stone and wooden beams in several rooms. The two antique flintlock dueling pistols cemented into the ceiling of the ancient wine cellar were probably put there by the builder as a sort of personal emblem. 

 

Besides offering hospitality, the farm holiday establishment also continues to produce its own wine.

Activities

Cascina Blon is the ideal starting point for a variety of activities: hiking through the vineyards, excursions and horseback riding or bike tours, and visits to the local wineries and distilleries. Both amateurs and pros will love the famous golf courses in the vicinity (which are also part of international circuits).
In the fall, guided tours of the natural truffle fields with the local 'Trifulau' [the truffle hunter] can be organized. Guests can also try their hand working in the vineyard or picking cherries, hazelnuts and almonds.
Cascina Blon is just 2 km from the center of the lovely town of Nizza Monferrato and about an hour from Milan, Genoa, and Turin. It is 20 minutes from Acqui Terme (famous since Roman days for its hot springs) and Asti (the medieval city known for its famous Palio race as well as several food and wine fairs).
Cascina Blon is 50 minutes from Alba (the home of the white truffle) and Serravalle Scrivia (home of one of Italy's largest designer outlet centers).
The area is just as famous for its traditional food and wine. Local fairs and events held between May and November will make your stay even more enjoyable.
