Walk among the Barolo and Barbaresco vineyards

Guided Walking in Piedmont's Langhe

5 nights — from USD2690

A wine and gastronomic paradiso awaits you in the Langhe region, historically one of the world’s most important centers of wine production. Among the wines to taste are a number of hearty reds, including Barolo and Barbaresco. Nearby is the Asti region, famous for spumanti, Italy’s answer to champagne. You’ll also uncover a delightful, little explored corner of the Monferrato, still largely overlooked even by Italian tourists.

Itinerary Outline

Here is an outline of a suggested daily itinerary. You can shorten or lengthen this tour to fit your travel dates. For further information, please request a detailed itinerary.

  • Day one: Your guide picks you up in Milan and brings you to Serralunga d’Alba’s striking 14th century castle, surrounded by the vineyards of Nebbiolo, the grape which makes the unique Barolo wine. You also partake in a wine tasting and tour at one of zone’s best and most welcoming producers, while enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding region.
  • Day two: A stroll through the vineyards brings you to the hilltop town of La Morra. Later in the afternoon you tour a venerable producer’s marvelously designed cellars in Monforte d’Alba.
  • Day three: Today you explore the Barbaresco wine region: though made from the same grape as Barolo, this wine is a slightly lighter red due to the local soils. You also visit the lovely village of Neive, and in the afternoon head to a village in the nearby Alto Monferrato to celebrate with a Moscato d’Asti wine tasting at a classic producer of spumanti.
  • Day four: Today you visit the Basso Monferrato for lunch; this area is known for its Barbera wine but is still far off even local tourist maps. Later, after an exploration of the various chapels of Crea Sanctuary Natural Park, you enjoy a wine and cheese tasting at another fine Barbera producer.
  • Day five: Today you head west to Saluzzo, situated at the foot of the majestic peak of Monviso. Here, you may visit the frescoed castle residence of the former Saluzzo marquees and taste this city’s cuisine.
  • Day six: We help you on your way to your next destination with a transfer to Milan.
