Asti
Asti, set among the Monferrato hills, gives its name to sparkling Asti wine and to Barbera d'Asti, and is known for its medieval towers and historic Palio horse race. Wine tourists, families and business visitors all head here. A private transfer from Geneva saves several train changes and lets you go straight to a farmhouse or estate in the hills.

Chauffeur's tipMany guest houses in the Monferrato are on unpaved country lanes; send the exact address or GPS pin so the chauffeur can find the gate without detours.
The route from Geneva Airport to Asti
The chauffeur drives through the Arve valley to Chamonix and crosses into Italy through the Mont Blanc Tunnel. The A5 motorway follows the Aosta Valley down to the Piedmont plain, and after skirting Turin the A21 motorway towards Piacenza heads east through gentle hills to Asti. The approach from Turin gives a first view of the vineyards of the Monferrato. When traffic requires it, the chauffeur may approach from the A26 motorway instead.
Arriving in Asti
The old centre around Piazza San Secondo and the long Corso Alfieri is partly limited to traffic, so the chauffeur sets you down at the closest authorised point to your hotel. During the Palio, the main squares are closed to cars. Beyond the town, AirportsTransfers.ch drives guests to wine estates, agriturismi and villas across the Monferrato and the Roero, and on to Alba and the Langhe.
Practical advice for the journey
At under four hours, Asti works well for a long weekend, with a break usually taken near Turin. Wine buyers can bring cases back in the V-Class van, which takes up to seven passengers and ten bags; please mention it when booking the return trip. Child seats are fitted on request. Morning fog is frequent in autumn and winter, so allow some margin for early flights. Your flight is tracked on arrival and waiting time is included if it is late.
