The experience

The day starts with pickup in Alba. A sommelier and wine country expert meets you and drives a fully electric Tesla through Langhe to the first producer: no planning the route, no calling ahead, no wondering which wineries are worth the stop. The sommelier has direct connections to top-rated estates and knows the stories behind the wines before you taste them.

At each winery, you taste Barolo, Barbaresco and other Piedmont wines without the usual tasting-room shuffle. The sommelier guides you through the flavors and the vineyard decisions that shaped them, and because the visit is arranged in advance, the producers have time for you. The tour runs six to seven hours, which is long enough to visit multiple estates and sit with the wines instead of rushing through a checklist.

Transportation, all tasting fees, and the sommelier's time are included. The concierge service means you can ask about lunch or dinner reservations and have them handled. If you want to ship wine home, that's arranged too. The minimum is two guests, and the tour runs in English or Italian depending on your choice at checkout.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English and Italian.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Youth (11 to 17 years): free; Child (4 to 10 years): free; Infant (under 4): free.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What's the difference between the two options for this tour?

Both options are the same wine tour with the same sommelier guide, producers and tastings. The half-day option is the one listed here. It covers six to seven hours of tasting in Langhe starting from Alba.

Do I need to know about wine to join this tour?

No. The sommelier guide explains the wines, the vineyard practices and the regional styles as you taste, so the tour works whether you're new to Barolo or you've been drinking it for years.

What happens if I want to eat during the tour?

Lunch is not included in the tour price, but the concierge service can arrange a restaurant reservation for you during the day, and the sommelier can recommend places that pair well with the wines you're tasting.

Is the pickup really included, or is that extra?

Pickup in Alba is included. The sommelier meets you there and the fully electric vehicle is part of the tour, so there's no separate transportation cost.

How many people usually go on these tours?

The minimum is two guests. The tour is private, meaning it's just your group and the sommelier, not a larger group of strangers.

Can I choose which wineries we visit?

The sommelier designs the route based on what's open, what's in season and what matches your taste preferences, so there's some flexibility, but the specific producers are arranged by the sommelier's connections, not picked by you from a list.
