Your adventure begins in Alba, a city that blends medieval charm with an outstanding culinary reputation. As you explore its historic center, you’ll encounter cobbled streets lined with artisan shops, inviting piazzas, and cafés serving up local delicacies. Known for its prized white truffles, Alba is a food lover’s paradise. Take your time to soak in the atmosphere, browse the markets, and experience the town’s rich flavors before heading into the heart of Langhe’s vineyards.
A Guided Wine Tasting in the UNESCO-Listed Langhe Hills
Leaving Alba behind, you'll venture into the scenic Langhe countryside, where endless vineyards stretch across rolling hills. A visit to a renowned winery offers a deep dive into the region’s winemaking traditions, guided by an expert sommelier. Enjoy a six-glass tasting featuring a selection of the area’s most celebrated wines, including the legendary Barolo, often referred to as the “King of Wines.” As you sip, take in the panoramic views of the vineyard-covered landscape—one of the many reasons this region has earned UNESCO recognition.
A Final Stop at the Castle of Grinzane Cavour
Before returning to Milan, you’ll pause to admire the Castle of Grinzane Cavour, an iconic landmark that has stood for centuries as a symbol of Piedmont’s winemaking heritage. Overlooking the Langhe’s spectacular hills, this historic fortress provides a picture-perfect ending to your day of discovery.
Return to Milan with Lasting Memories
As the tour concludes, sit back and enjoy a scenic drive back to Milan, reflecting on the flavors, landscapes, and cultural treasures that make the Langhe one of Italy’s most remarkable wine regions.
