This 7-hour tasting tour unfolds across a landscape shaped by gentle vineyards, ancient castles, and quaint villages, all set against the backdrop of Piemonte’s signature verdant hills.

The fresh, countryside air punctuates the experience, balancing rich flavors with scenic views.

Pickup is available in Alba for selected tours, and some experiences depart from central Turin. Each itinerary emphasizes authentic, local partners and hands-on experiences. Options include a 7-hour wine and cheese tasting in Monferrato, a truffle hunt with lunch that departs from Turin, an ebike picnic through the Langhe, a 4-hour private Barolo tasting, an 8-hour small-group tour visiting three wineries with a local winemaker, and a combined truffle hunt followed by a Barolo tasting.
