Costa di Mezzate, a historic village nestled between vineyards and olive groves, is the perfect setting for a journey through culture and flavors. At 6:30 PM, a guided tour in Italian will begin, led by an art historian, of the Camozzi Vertova Castle, a 17th-century noble residence overlooking the town square. Walking through the frescoed halls, internal courtyards, and panoramic terraces, you’ll discover the story of a family that has shaped the region and experience the authentic atmosphere of a residence from another time. Normally closed to the public as it is privately owned, don’t miss the opportunity to visit it on its open days, promoted by Terre del Vescovado.
At the end, you’ll enjoy a moment of conviviality at Birreria Einmass, located in the picturesque Torre degli Zoppi, where ancient stones meet the passion for craft beer. A selected glass and tasty snacks await you to conclude the evening with a toast.
For overnight accommodation, comfort awaits just a few minutes away, in Brusaporto, at a modern 4-star hotel. A property surrounded by greenery, where each room is like a small apartment: spacious, with a kitchenette and direct access to the garden or pool. Ideal for those seeking privacy, comfort, and a touch of exclusivity.
You will also have time for a guided tour of Bergamo Alta. On Saturday at 3:00 PM, you will meet a tour guide outside the VisitBergamo infopoint at the Torre del Gombito and discover, during an exciting two-hour walking tour, the historical and artistic beauties of Bergamo. The tour is available in both Italian and English.
