Alba Wine Tour: Traditional Piedmont Pairings in Langhe & Roero | Farm | Winery

On the rolling limestone slopes of Langhe and Roero in Piemonte, a 1.5-hour tasting experience in Castagnito brings focus to the region’s wines and hazelnut cuisine. The Alba Wine Tour with Traditional Food Pairings is a compact introduction to Piedmont’s prized bottlings and regional charcuterie, staged at a winery accessible from Mombaruzzo. Travelers start with a cellar walkthrough, learning local viticulture and production stages before settling into a guided tasting of five wines: two expressions of Roero Arneis, Barbera, Nebbiolo, a local Roero red, and a concluding passito.

The tasting pairs each pour with carefully chosen regional products: creamy Robiole di Roccaverano, high‑pasture Tuma d’alpeggio, the aged Castelmagno della Val Grana, toasted Piedmont hazelnuts—famed across Italy—plus both salame crudo and salame cotto. A hazelnut cake or pastry with a glass of passito closes the tasting, letting sweet and savory linger together. The experience is designed for small groups (recommended parties of 2–12) and runs approximately 1.5 hours, making it an ideal stop between vineyard drives or as an afternoon diversion from nearby Alba.

What makes this offering stand out is its tight focus on terroir and pairing. The Langhe-Roero landscapes are recognized for their vineyard mosaic—UNESCO-listed as the Vineyard Landscape of Piedmont: Langhe-Roero and Monferrato—so each sip carries the story of calcareous soils, microclimates, and grape varieties that shaped Italian winemaking history. The tour’s accessibility—stroller and wheelchair friendly—also opens the region’s flavors to a wider range of visitors.

Practical details matter: the listed meeting point is Mombaruzzo, and transport to and from the winery isn’t included, so plan a short drive or local taxi. Pricing starts at €39 for adults with a reduced rate for youths. The tasting is self-contained: guided winery visit, structured pours, and the included plates make it a compact culinary education, without the need to purchase extra bottles unless you fall in love with a label.

For travelers who want a succinct, sensory primer on Piedmontese wine culture, this tour is a low-effort, high-reward pairing of place, produce, and poured tradition. Bring curiosity, a light appetite, and sensible footwear if you plan to explore the cellar; bring a notebook if you love notes—this tasting will supply both flavor and a stronger sense of why Langhe and Roero sit on so many wine lover itineraries.

Visit details are straightforward: the winery’s address is Str. Vietta, 2, 12050 Castagnito CN, Italy, and you’ll receive meeting instructions after booking. The tasting doubles as a concise lesson in Piedmontese foodways—the cheeses, salumi, and nocciole here are products of generations, not trends—so it rewards attentive palates. Leave room in your schedule to browse the winery’s labels; many guests find a bottle worth taking home as a tangible memory of the hills.
