Varzi Hunting Estate – Lombardy

Reganzo Hunting Reserve near the town of Varzi: A Paradise for Pointing Dog Enthusiasts in the Heart of Lombardy

In the heart of Oltrepò Pavese, just a few kilometers from the picturesque village of Varzi, lies the Reganzo Hunting Reserve, a true sanctuary for lovers of wandering hunts with pointing dogs.

This unique place, nestled among the gentle Lombard hills, offers an authentic hunting experience, where wild gray partridges and red-legged partridges, never “released,” roam free in an environment that seems tailor-made to enhance the ancestral bond between man and his faithful companion.

For the hunter, watching their dog hunt in such a perfect setting evokes deep, indescribable emotions.

The dog, trained with patience and love, moves with elegance and precision, sniffing the air attentively with instincts sharpened by a long hunting tradition shared with its human companion.

Every step, every movement, every signal is the result of perfect synergy between hunter and dog, a delicate interplay of mutual understanding that unfolds on the terrain.

Created and managed by Giorgio Paraporti, Reganzo is the ideal hunting reserve for enthusiasts of walk-up hunting with a pointing dog.

The hunter’s heart beats in unison with the dog’s, anticipating that magical moment when the point becomes more certain, the tension more palpable, and finally, the sudden flight of a flock of wild partridges or red-legged partridges takes to the air, delivering a rush of pure adrenaline and satisfaction.

In this environment, the pointing dog can fully express its potential, working in harmony with the rolling hills and the game.

The hunter watches with pride as their four-legged companion explores the landscape, nose to the ground, focused on every detail.

The satisfaction of seeing the dog stop, motionless and concentrated, with its eyes fixed on the prey, is something beyond words.

In that moment, the very essence of hunting is felt: the connection with nature, the art of patience, and the beauty of simplicity.

Every hunt at the Reganzo Hunting Reserve transcends the mere act of hunting. It is a celebration of the balance between man, animal, and nature.

The emotion of seeing one’s dog explore the terrain, guided by instinct and training, brings a deep sense of fulfillment, as if the hunter were part of an ancient tradition that has endured through the centuries.

And when the day comes to an end, tired but happy, the welcoming hunting lodge at Reganzo becomes the perfect retreat to rest and share the day’s experiences.

Comfortable single rooms with ensuite bathrooms provide the needed tranquility, while the cuisine, rich in local flavors, recalls the culinary tradition of Oltrepò Pavese.

The aromas of dishes made with genuine local ingredients and the fine wines of the region perfectly accompany the stories of the day’s adventures.

The Reganzo Hunting Reserve is not just a place to hunt; it is an experience that touches the deepest chords of a hunter’s heart.

Here, the beauty of the landscape, the authenticity of the game, and the intimate relationship with the pointing dog blend into a perfect balance.

A place where the soul finds peace, and where every hunt becomes an unforgettable memory.

A true paradise for those seeking an authentic hunting experience in a pristine and exceptionally welcoming environment, nestled in one of the most captivating and wild areas of Lombardy.
