Discover Canevino: History, Nature and Food and Wine Traditions in the Heart of Oltrepò Pavese

Among the gentle hills covered with vineyards of Oltrepò Pavese, atop a hill stands the small village of Canevino, a place where history, nature, and tradition intertwine in a unique blend.
Located near the sources of the Versa and Scuropasso streams, Canevino offers a journey into the past and a breathtaking landscape.

In the Middle Ages, Canevino was a strategic passage point.
The road connecting Bobbio to Pavia passed through the village, offering a safer alternative to valley routes, often plagued by brigands.
Here, on the summit of the hill overlooking the village, stands the parish church dedicated to the Assumption, a symbol of spirituality and history.

The church, dating back to the 13th century but rebuilt in the 18th century, can be reached via a picturesque staircase of 133 steps winding through the woods from the hamlet of Caseo.
Inaugurated in 1984, this staircase leads visitors to a place of great tranquility, where spirituality merges with the beauty of the panorama.
From the churchyard, the view stretches across hills, plains, the Po River, and, in the distance, the Piedmontese and Lombard Alps.
The church, one of the first in Oltrepò Pavese, still preserves an atmosphere of intimacy and reflection.

Canevino lies at the heart of a territory renowned for producing fine wines.
White grapes of Moscato, Riesling, and Pinot thrive here, creating exceptional wines like the celebrated Brut.
This small corner of Oltrepò Pavese is a paradise for wine lovers and those seeking an authentic connection with nature.

Numerous hiking trails branch out from the village, traversing woods and sandstone ravines, offering perfect routes for walking or cycling.
The tranquility and beauty of the landscape make Canevino an ideal destination for trekking enthusiasts and those wishing to rejuvenate surrounded by nature.

Since 2019, Canevino has been part of the new municipality of Colli Verdi, together with neighboring Ruino and Valverde. This union has strengthened the bond between the three communities, enhancing the territory and its traditions.

In Canevino, time seems to stand still.
The quiet, the beauty of the landscape, and the call of history make this village a unique experience.
