Journey through the Lange's sister vineries

Self-Guided Walking in Piedmont's Langhe

7 nights — from USD1780

The Langhe region of Piemonte, nestled between the Maritime Alps and near enough to the sea that you can sometimes catch its scent, is a landscape of hills, valleys, villages, and castles. Known for its agricultural heritage, it has long been tied to wine production. This tour, starting from Alba, invites you to explore the Langhe’s vineyards, woods, hazelnut groves, and more. Along the way, you’ll taste not only the famous wines of Barolo and Barbaresco but also specialties from lesser-known areas, including Alba truffles, PGI hazelnuts, local mushrooms, specialty meats, and regional cheeses. Since 2014, the Langhe-Roero and Monferrato vineyards have been designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, leaving an unforgettable impression. And along the way, we provide you with all the tools you need to help you put your spirit of adventure into action.
