Harvest train: do not miss the experience of traveling through time aboard a historic train in the Piedmontese vineyards

On September 21, 2025, it will be possible to live a unique experience on board the vintage train, a journey between history, nature and wine tradition in Piedmont. The departure is scheduled from the Novara station at 09:10, aboard elegant corbellini vintage carriages of the 1950s and an authentic historical trunk. The train will cross breathtaking landscapes, between hills, ordered rows and villages surrounded by greenery, offering travelers a timeless natural and cultural show.

After about 40 minutes of course, the arrival is scheduled in Sizzano at 09:50, a small village known for its wine excellence and for a secular agricultural tradition. The harvest here is not only a seasonal activity, but a real collective rite, which involves families, cellars and the local community, transforming work into the vineyards into a shared party.

Once you arrive in Sizzano, travelers will have the opportunity to discover the streets of the village, visit artisan shops, local markets and stores of typical products. It will be the ideal opportunity to bring home an authentic memory of the territory, between the scents of wine and flavors of the Piedmontese tradition. The program of the day also includes free time to fully savor the atmosphere of the place and enjoy the suggestive views of the surrounding vineyards and hills.

An out of time experience

The vintage train is not only a means of transport, but a real immersive experience that combines the pleasure of the journey by historical train to discover a food and wine culture rooted over time. The return is scheduled for 17:30, departing from Sizzano to the FS Foundation, bringing unique memories and the feeling of having traveled to the heart of Piedmont more authentic.

This initiative represents a perfect opportunity for families, enthusiasts of history and wine lovers, who wish to live a unique experience between nature, culture and tradition. The combination of picturesque landscapes, vintage carriages and local activities makes this journey a special moment to rediscover the charm of historic trains and Italian wine lands.
