Golf Club Citta di Asti
A compact city-side Piedmont course that makes golf easy to blend with Asti's wine-and-food identity
Asti is a very useful golf stop because it places a playable course directly inside a city better known for wine and food than for fairways. The club is compact, flat and easy to navigate, which makes it much more attractive as part of a broader urban-and-territorial itinerary than as a standalone sporting trophy. For travellers who want a short round before returning to Barbera, old streets and a slower Piedmont rhythm, it makes excellent sense.

Exclusive Experiences
Secrets found in no guidebook, curated by our concierge.
Asti — Aperitivo tra Piazza San Secondo e i portici
Asti's old center is the right civic finish after the round: brick towers, arcades, old commercial streets and the compact social rhythm around Piazza San Secondo. It feels alive without becoming overwhelming, which is exactly why it suits a golf day so well.
“Stay between Piazza San Secondo and the surrounding portico streets and do not over-plan dinner immediately after aperitivo; Asti works best when the city unfolds in one compact loop.”
Colline di Asti — Degustazione di Barbera in cascina
The Barbera hills outside Asti are the obvious wine orbit, but the hidden-gem version is one single stop in a farmhouse winery where the tasting still feels linked to work rhythm and to the vines around you. It turns the round into a fuller Monferrato afternoon without over-curating it.
“Choose one producer and ask for a vertical or a slightly older vintage if available; Barbera starts telling the real story when it is not poured too young.”
Asti — Museo del Palio e racconto delle contrade
Asti's Palio memory is one of those civic layers that genuinely helps the city make sense after golf: flags, districts, horses and old local rivalries condensed into one readable story. It works best as a short cultural context stop rather than a heavy museum session.
“Treat it as context, not as a lesson: twenty focused minutes are enough if they help you read the city differently once you are back outside.”
Il Cascinale Nuovo — Cucina piemontese senza compromessi
An 18th-century farmhouse ten minutes from the club, where the Ferretto family runs a kitchen rooted in Piedmontese tradition without apology. Tajarin with meat ragù and vitello tonnato here have never been softened for visiting palates. The wine list, deliberately focused on the Asti hills, is worth the visit alone.
“Book a table in the old stable wing and ask about the bollito misto trolley — it's not always on, but when it is, don't say no.”
Abbazia di Vezzolano — Il Medioevo intatto tra i colli
Hidden among the Monferrato hills in Albugnano, this 12th-century Romanesque abbey is one of Piedmont's most complete medieval monuments — and almost no one knows it. The stone choir screen dividing the nave is carved with figures that still seem in motion. On a weekday morning, the silence is total.
“Come between 10 and 11am when the side light enters through the apses and turns the stone honey-colored — the hour when the church tells everything it knows.”
