Introduction:
While the peaks of the Aosta Valley are breathtaking, the true soul of this region can be found on its plate. Aosta Bella was born here, and we’ve spent a lifetime discovering the family-run trattorias, boutique vineyards, and artisan producers that define our culinary landscape. Let us guide you through the hearty, high-altitude flavors that make this valley a foodie’s hidden gem.

The King of Cheeses: Fontina DOP

• No dish is truly local without this creamy, nutty cheese. We’ll take you to see how it’s made and aged for over 80 days in mountain caves.

• Must-Try Dish: Fonduta Valdostana, a rich and decadent fondue.

A Carnivore’s Paradise:

• • Sink your teeth into the region’s famous air-dried ham, Jambon de Bosses, and warm up with a bowl of Carbonade—a slow-cooked beef stew simmered in red wine and spices.

  • Aosta Bella Insight: We know the butchers who have been perfecting these recipes for generations.

Wine with a View: Europe’s Highest Vineyards

• • At 1,200 meters, our vineyards are a sight to behold. Sip the local Petit Rouge, a ruby-red wine with a unique character, while surrounded by alpine panoramas.

  • Aosta Bella Experience: We arrange private tastings at vineyards you’d never find on your own.

The Sweet Finale:

• • End your meal on a sweet note with Tegole, delicate almond cookies named for their tile-like shape, and a small glass of Genepy, the region’s signature herbal liqueur.
