The experience

Barolo, one of Italy's rarest red wines, anchors this day. The tour picks you up from your Turin hotel and drives you into the Langhe hills, where the Nebbiolo grapes that make Barolo grow on clayey slopes considered ideal for the wine's depth and aging potential. You taste Barolo and other Piedmontese wines (Barbaresco, Nebbiolo, Roero, Barbera) in the cellars and vineyards where they're made, with your guide explaining why the soil and slope matter to what ends up in your glass.

After the wine tasting, lunch happens at a typical trattoria with views across the Langhe hills, now a UNESCO World Heritage site. The meal is light and pairs naturally with what you've tasted. Alba, famous for its white truffle and other food specialties, is part of the route, so you see why the region's reputation for both wine and food is earned. Your guide and driver handle the eight-hour day, leaving you free to focus on the wines and the landscape.
