Via Albertina, 44, Cervesina

Voghera sits on the Po plain at the meeting point of the Staffora valley and the first hills of the Oltrepò Pavese. The Staffora river runs by the town, and within a short drive to the south the landscape becomes vine-covered hills with small villages and roads climbing toward the Ligurian Apennines. The nearest larger centre is Pavia, with a historic centre and university, while daily services are already concentrated in Voghera itself as a rail and road hub. The area is known for wine production in the Oltrepò Pavese, especially Pinot Nero and sparkling wines.
