Travel Itinerary

We will start our day in the historical center of Alba, a city famous for art, literature, and most importantly, Nutella. Towers, churches, and ancient cobblestone streets will take you back to the Middle Ages. Chocolate and truffle shops are everywhere. 
A beautiful drive among hills covered in vines will take us to a world-renowned winery. We will tour the facility to learn how wine is made and we will taste Barolo, the King of wines. 
We will then taste the delicious local cuisine at a medieval village while sampling other wine varieties from the area. 
The Queen of wines, Barbaresco, will be waiting for us in the afternoon at a smaller, family-owned winery that will let us tour the vineyards and share their story with us. 
We will then return to Alba where we will be more than happy to recommend our favorite spots for dinner or aperitivo.

Barolo and Babaresco tasting

Excellent guide - Nicola - who is very knowledgeable about the region and wine. Really enjoyed the personalized tour, however disappointed that the Barolo tasting was limited to only two very young Barolo’s. The Barolo tasting was one of the main reasons for choosing this tasting tour and I don’t feel I got value for money. The Babaresco tasting however was excellent.

Thank you for touring with us 🍷
