Highlights
  • Alba - Immerse yourself in the city of truffles and Barolo and more!
    Visit Alba, this small village full of restaurants, taverns and taverns, bars and shops selling specific products, taste dishes based on truffles and precious Barolo.
  • Barolo - Castello di Barolo, of ancient origins, the first body dates back to the 10th century, the castle has undergone several transformations over time. From a defense manor to a noble country residence, to a rigid college of religious: each destination has left some traces in the halls of the large building. What is most striking of the castle is its bulk, which dominates and almost crushes the town with its grandeur, a tangible image of the power of the lords of the places.
    On the upper floors there is the ethnographic-oenological museum of Barolo, an exhibition of ancient viticultural and oenological tools in use in the area, documenting the life and work of the winemakers in the Langhe; in other rooms, a collection of wine crystals and old photographs of the town.
    The Regional Enoteca is located in the cellars, where the Marquise Giulia baptized the first Barolo. Since 2010 it has housed the WiMu Wine Museum.
  • Fontanafredda - Visit to the Fontanafredda cellars of Serralunga D’Alba.
  • Marchesi Alfieri s.r.l. Societa Agricola - As an alternative to visiting the Fontanafredda cellars you can choose these cellars with a guided tour and tasting

Do not recommend - This was an overpriced trip, you don’t get the experience you are charged for. You just get a private car with a driver. The driver was good though. . The tickets to the museums were not included, neither was the wine tasting experience. This is not a guided tour. Look for other options.

You’re better off booking a taxi - This was the most upsetting experience I booked on our trip to Italy. It was essentially just a taxi with a driver that clearly didn’t like us right from the start. I have had better conversations with the taxi drivers in Milan than this driver. The mood was somber and silent. I booked this expecting that the driver would share some stories or history of the area while we were driving through and offer suggestions of places to visit in the cities. Nope. It was brutal, sad and suffocating silence. When we would ask a question he said it was not a tour. Back to silence. Okay then. I guess I paid a lot of money to just be miserable all day and learn nothing. I would recommend that anyone else just save their money and book and taxi or Uber. We went to the cities without much clue where to go and see. Again, I assumed the driver would tell us the best places to check out on the way so I didn’t research. That was a mistake. Don’t book on Sunday!! The winery with the tasting was closed on Sunday, which I wish I would have known beforehand or I would not have booked this day!! Some communication in the listing about this or by the driver before we get to the winery would have been nice so we would have known to grab snacks in the other cities. We didn’t get to taste any wines and the truffle museum didn’t have staff outside the coffee bar so no truffle tasting either. I would not recommend purchasing this experience unless your expectation is merely a fancy cab ride.
