Cascina Piccaluga wine tasting tour: Vineyard walk and cellar
From the hillside rows to the aging barrel: how wine is born here
A two-hour wine tasting tour at Cascina Piccaluga in Langhe-Roero combines a panoramic walk through the vineyard with a cellar visit and guided tasting of six wines paired with local cold cuts, cheeses and hazelnuts. The tour operates at 11am and 4pm in English or Italian, with a live guide; minimum age is 18. In bad weather, the entire experience moves indoors.
The Experience
You start with a walk among the vineyard rows, where the guide shows you the eco-sustainable farming techniques that shape the grapes before they ever reach the cellar. Depending on the season, you'll see different stages of the growing cycle—how the vines are tended, what happens at harvest, what the soil contributes. The path climbs to the top of the hill, where the view opens across the mountains and vineyards of Langhe-Roero; this is where you stand to understand the place the wine comes from.
From there you move into the cellar, where the wine takes shape. The guide walks you through what happens after harvest—the alcoholic fermentation, the aging in wood, the decisions that turn fruit into something you'll taste in a few minutes. This is not a quick tour of the building; it's a sensory journey that connects what you saw in the vineyard to what's happening in the barrel in front of you.
The tasting comes at the end, six wines paired with an individual platter of local meats, cheeses and toasted hazelnuts. The wines are all produced by Cascina Piccaluga; the food comes from farms in the region. Tours run at 11am and 4pm, and you choose your language—English or Italian—when you book. If the weather turns, the entire experience happens indoors without any change to what you taste or learn.
