Alba International White Truffle Fair
The tour starts at the train station of Alba or in your hotel (if located nearby). Within a 20 minutes drive we will be in the heart of production of Barolo wine.

Langhe landscapes
Let our guide take you on the most panoramic wine routes winding through the area of production of the famous Barolo wine, spread across eleven municipalities, where Nebbiolo grapes are cultivated. Take advantage of stunning photo opportunities over the Langhe hills which are part of the 50th UNESCO World Heritage site of Italy, because of the historical value of a unique patchwork landscape, dotted with medieval towers, castles and quaint villages. Get familiar with elements and facts of the region otherwise silent to a hurried glance.
