Val Tidone is the westernmost valley in the province of Piacenza. Crossed by the stream of the same name, it has served since ancient times as a borderland and a crossroads, thanks to its strategic location linking the Po Valley and Lombardy.
A vast, sun-drenched area, Val Tidone is characterised by meadows and rolling hills dotted with orchards and vineyards, coppice woodlands and pine forests at higher elevations, wineries, agritourism farms, picturesque villages scattered across its gentle slopes, medieval towns, castles, historic villas, fortresses and traditional farmhouses. It offers an idyllic setting for peace and relaxation, as well as excellent opportunities for nature excursions.
Visitors can also indulge in the delights of local food and wine, from DOC-certified wines and PDO cheeses to simple yet delicious traditional dishes, in which the flavours and aromas of the region’s culinary heritage come together in perfect harmony.
