Discover Domodossola: a journey through history and culture
The tour usually begins in the historic centre, where you can admire Piazza Mercato, with its arcades and frescoed houses. Here, every building tells a story, and a guide can help you notice the details. Also not to be missed is the Collegiate Church of Saints Gervasius and Protasius, the town’s main church.
Wine tasting in Vagna
After exploring Domodossola, you can continue to Vagna, the hamlet where the winery of Azienda Agricola Edoardo Patrone is located, among the vineyards of the Ossola Valley. It is an opportunity to savour a selection of local wines and learn first-hand about the work behind every bottle. Discover the tastings and experiences offered by the winery.
Why choose a guided tour with a tasting
- Knowledge of the area: a guide can offer a perspective that is more difficult to gain on your own
- An authentic experience: tasting wines directly at the winery helps you better understand the area’s winemaking tradition
- A great way to end the day: after a morning of sightseeing, the tasting is a moment of relaxation
Planning your visit
To arrange a guided tour of Domodossola paired with a tasting, you can contact the winery directly or a local tourist guide to check availability and arrangements. One practical tip: wear comfortable shoes for your visit to the historic centre.

A tailor-made experience
The combination of a guided tour of the historic centre and a winery tasting is well suited to being adapted to the needs of each group, whether it is a couple seeking a romantic experience or a small group of wine-loving friends. Availability, itinerary and arrangements should always be requested and confirmed directly with the winery before booking, to ensure a tailor-made experience for every visitor.
Vagna, among vineyards and tradition
The hamlet of Vagna, the destination of the guided walk, retains a rural character that pleasantly contrasts with Domodossola’s town centre: exploring it on foot, perhaps in the company of a local guide, allows you to appreciate up close the micro-vineyards that dot this corner of the area, often unknown even to those who regularly visit the town.
A different way to discover Domodossola
Those who have already visited Domodossola independently will find significant added value in this guided experience: the opportunity to hear historical anecdotes and curiosities that are difficult to find in a simple tourist guide, told by people who truly know the area and its inhabitants.
One final note: booking a few days in advance is always advisable, especially during peak tourist periods, to ensure the guide and winery are available on the same day.
