Baladin Open Garden
“Because Beer is Earth!”: this is the essence of Baladin Open Garden. A place for sharing and where you can experience the connection between nature, farming, live beer and much more!
A place where you can experience quiet moments of rest and peace with your family and friends, in harmony with nature. If you want to find out more about the Baladin philosophy, come and listen to our tales on Sundays, visit the brewery, experience the processing of cocoa and coffee beans at the farmhouse, or see how old varieties of grains are ground with our stone mill to then produce the Baladin micche (bread loaves in the local dialect).
Visitors can fully appreciate the experience at the park by spending the night in one of five “agro-nests” on the hill, next to the farmhouse. This has been made possible thanks to the cooperation with Fabio Revetria and Lara Sappa, creators of StarsBox. Guests who stay over the night can enjoy their breakfast at Casa Baladin, which they can reach with electric bicycles provided by Repower. Baladin has been partnering with them for many years to improve energy efficiency and the use of renewable sources.
In summer (June-September)
The self-service restaurant will offer Roman-style pizza, vegetarian and vegan dishes, hamburgers, grilled meat and Baladin pork shank (reservation required). Plus, 16 live beers on tap and our Baladin soft drinks. For mixology lovers, our bartenders will serve tasty cocktails made with beer and Beermouth.
Wide open air spaces and two large indoor rooms in case of bad weather.
On Sundays, we open in the morning! Start with a visit at the brewery (advance booking is required), then try one of the workshops at the Rac-contadino market, accompanied by Baladin beers. If you wish, you can shop at the market and, upon prior reservation, cook your products (meat included) on the braziers provided for free. Throughout the day, kids can play in the park and participate in the many fun activities organized by our expert staff. On the first Sunday of the month, bread making classes for grown-ups and children.
To make our beer and food even more enjoyable, we have prepared a rich program of special events every day of the week. Click here to find out more about your Summer at the Garden.
Baladin Open Garden is now plastic free: water is available on tap and - just as beer and soft drinks - poured in biodegradable glasses. Food is served with compostable plates and cutlery.
To relieve you from the summer heat, a cube shaped dispenser of scented water, covered by hop plants, will refresh adults and entertain children.
Book your StarsBOX
The story of StarsBOX comes from far away... (This is how its creators describe it)
Inspired by the temporary dwellings of shepherds in the Ligurian Alps, it updates its shapes and function.
It is the symbol of a new, lighter and more engaged way of enjoying nature, thanks to the evocative power of a unique experience. StarsBOX is a fairytale that lasts all night; a creative exercise of simple and childlike authenticity.
StarsBOX is more than just a nest. It is a shelter and embodies the spirit of traveling; it is a box of dreams, where you can get drunk on stars and feel enlightened by fresh dawns.
Part tent and part hut, it offers protection but can be opened to gaze at the sky and enjoy the most spectacular show that nature can offer.
StarsBOX is a bed under the stars. It has the shape of a wooden hut and the size of a tent and fits a double bed. StarsBOX is an architecture-art installation for a special, unique night. Its peculiarity is the roof that can be completely opened, so that you can spend the night gazing at the starry sky.
Each StarsBOX is fitted with a double bed (140x195 cm), bedsheets, blankets, two classic pillows and two pillows filled with scented hops - you’re at a beer park after all - and bathrobes. Similarly to a campsite, bathrooms (toilets, sinks and showers) are shared and located within walking distance from the StarsBOX village. A lit path connects the two areas. All StarsBOX huts have USB sockets; to light the room, two camping lamps are provided at check-in. Check-in desk and breakfast at Casa Baladin (2.5 km, Piazza 5 luglio, 34 – 12060 Piozzo). To reach the village of Piozzo from the Baladin Open Garden, Repower eBikes are available.
Price per night, breakfast included: € 100.

The history Baladin Open Garden is created with one ambition in mind: getting as many people as possible to know about the movement of Italian craft beer.
Located in the wonderful land of the Langhe, Open Garden is a project that belongs to everyone: it has been built with the help of a crowdfunding campaign launched to create a community and make people feel part of it. As Teo himself puts it: “I hope that all visitors can rediscover a part of themselves in the Garden, and join in the spirit of a project aimed at making culture and developing a community around the values of the earth and craft beer”.
“First and foremost, this is a space devoted to agriculture and the revitalization of a place which – away from large city centers – is a meeting place for the community, is always open and accessible to anyone.” (Carlo Petrini, Slow Food founder)
