If You Are Traveling to Milan, Here Are 12 Wineries You Have to Visit

"A biodynamically farmed, large-scale estate in the Gavi area characterized by a mosaic of vineyards, woodlands, pastures and gardens and a commitment to on-site food production. Architectural draws include a cellar with a striking crystal façade and rammed-earth elements; hospitality is intimate, with a small Locanda offering rooms and a restaurant driven by seasonal, farm-sourced ingredients, while an on-site foundation has placed site-specific artworks throughout the property." - Federico De Cesare Viola

"The magnificent biodynamic La Raia farm, an enchanting 180-hectare oasis between Novi Ligure and Gavi, is home to a contemporary art foundation, the Rossi Cairo family winery, a Steiner school for employees’ children, guest accommodation, and this restaurant which benefits from a fertile ecosystem that provides much of its zero-mile produce. The cuisine is rooted in local traditions which have been reinterpreted in contemporary style. In the evening (and at lunchtime at weekends), choose between an à la carte, a tasting menu inspired by wines from the property’s estates between Gavi and Langhe, and a delicious “Sei mezze” menu featuring small samples of the restaurant’s most iconic dishes." - Michelin Inspector

What a wonderful wine country retreat! Locanda La Raia is a true hidden gem - a serene escape from the city hustle, surrounded by vineyards and rolling hills. The on-site fine dining restaurant is exceptional, with beautifully crafted dishes and perfect wine pairings. Service is impeccable - warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. They also offer an on-site wine tour, which adds to the great experience and deepens your appreciation for the estate’s wines and biodynamic philosophy. Every detail here feels thoughtful, creating an atmosphere of pure relaxation and understated luxury. Highly recommend for anyone seeking peace, nature, and refined hospitality.

Just over an hour away from Milan and 35min from Genova you can feel like the busy life is planets away. This gem of a hotel is super comfortable, the spa is great, the pool is nice and the staff is incredibly friendly and professional. As if that wasn’t enough, the restaurant is a gem in and of itself too.

Locanda La Raia is an unforgettable gem in the heart of Piedmont. From the moment we arrived, the 18th-century renovated estate took our breath away—elegant, serene, and beautifully restored while maintaining its historic charm. The service was top-class, with every detail carefully considered to make our stay perfect. The highlight, of course, was the incredible biodynamic Gavi wines, which showcased the estate’s deep commitment to quality and sustainability. Each glass was a reflection of the region, expertly paired with the outstanding cuisine—fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Every aspect of our stay was flawless, from the peaceful surroundings to the warm hospitality. If you’re looking for an authentic and luxurious escape in Piedmont, Locanda La Raia is simply unparalleled. Can’t wait to return!

We absolutely loved our stay at La Raia! The service and welcome were extraordinary. Set among the vineyards in the gently rolling hills of Piedmont, it is truly a place to relax, unwind, and enjoy superb food and the incredible wines of the Gavi region.

Fantastic stay at this beautiful property! We had the 2bedroom apartment for our family of four. Stunningly appointed and very comfortable. Breakfasts were a delicious spread of local Italian treats. We loved our meal at the restaurant for dinner. Pool was a hit with the kids, we loved the sauna and steam. Such a find!

From arrival to our departure, a top service, excellent food and a very nice room. This rather small hotel is ideally located in the surrounding wineyards. The wine tasting in their cellar nearby is very interesting and the biodynamics wines are of excellent quality. The only inconvenience, nothing to do with the high quality of the hotel, is that the Gavi region doresn't offer a lot of interesting sightseeings. Therefore, I recommend a short stay of 2-3 days to take a nice rest at the hotel facility!

We stayed at Laconda La Raia for three days in May. The visit was very last minute as we were planning on visiting Cinque Terra, but that fell through so we were looking for an alternative in Piemonte.||We booked based on the reviews and were very happy. The hotel is a small boutique hotel with about 12 rooms, a spa, workout room, and comfortable common areas.||As we arrived with no definite plans on what we were going to do for our stay, Fiona and Erika went above and beyond in helping us plan wine tastings, lunches, e-bike rides and, in general, helping with travel logistics.||Our room was beautiful with a view of the vineyards. The restaurant was excellent. And the spa with steam room and sauna was relaxing.||I would highly recomend this property!
