Cocconato is a village that comes alive during the summer, when more and more tourists arrive who want to discover this part of Italy not yet known, but rich in ancient culture and gastronomic tradition.
Nobody passes by without tasting a good wine or a traditional meal!
In September there is an exhibition-market of our "Cocco wine" wines and on the last Sunday of September there is the Palio degli donkeys, a competitive race through the villages preceded by a parade in medieval costume that recalls the history of the village, the ancient crafts, or moments of the life of the past.
Cocconato has Roman origins and the remains of the 10th century Radicati castle are still visible.
Cocconato is in the middle of an area rich in Romanesque churches located in nearby locations (Montechiaro, Montiglio, Cerreto S. Fede and Albugnano) being crossed by the paths
of the Via Francigena, a road travelled by European pilgrims to reach Rome and the Holy Land.
Built between the eleventh and twelfth centuries, they were a resting place during the walk and churches of the small villages that stood on the hills.
They all are worth a visit if for no other reason than their always splendid panoramic position.
Staying in Cocconato means enjoying the view of the great panoramic spaces that its geographical position allows, looking "beyond"; it means finding oneself during walks in the woods and in the surroundings, it means being amazed at the beauty of the wild blooms that still exist despite industrialization. Cherry, apple, peach and pear trees in bloom leave you speechless.
After visiting the surroundings of Cocconato and shopping for wines you can visit the Romanesque churches and Monferrato'castles, Vezzolano Abbey, Chieri with its many churches, Asti, with its history and the Palio in September, Turin, with its museums, and its nightlife.

Those who love to swim a pool can be found about 5 km. Codana Lake.
