A local recommended us to buy wine there and she was right to have done so. The Piemontese wine selection is wide (but not huge if focused on Barolo & Barbaresco), and prices more than fair (compared to the various enotecas we visited in Barolo, Barbaresco, and the surrounding villages). Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. There’s also a large selection of French wines, champagne, and whiskies/rum. All in all, make sure you buy your wine there as it is good value for money, and has wide-enough variety.

Rolling hills, soft breezes, intense sun around harvest time, the entire Langhe is a treasure. Its curving roads deliver one scenery after another, with medieval castles, classic churches, cozy restaurants and lively wine bars. No wonder UNESCO listed the entire region as a patrimony of mankind. The region needs to be explored slowly: drive leisurely or ride a bike, or, if that is your style, hike. There are hundreds of hostels and B&Bs, hotels ranging from the inexpensive to the luxurious, and a similarly broad range of dining options. But you visit because of the wines. Arneis, Favorita, Cortese and the enormous flexibility of Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto and Moscato offer you an endless selection of wines for all tastes.

We were much taken by Alba's Centro Storico on a number of visits we made when staying near Asti. In fact we much preferred it to Asti! It is a joy to stroll around with many pedestrianised streets, an excellent central piazza, a superb Duomo, some very interesting smaller churches, and lots of cafes and restaurants. Lots of noisy locals and happy tourists made for great people watching. If you're staying anywhere near Alba you should most assuredly pay the old historical centre a visit.

For a small church in a small town, this is quite impressive. It has some relics of some saint....neveer sure about these claims.

Prices for white truffles this year has gone up now $3.5 per gram and $0.85 per gram for white and black truffles in euro, respectively. We always go back annually to this shop, run by an italian couple who are honest. To tell a good truffle u need to smell the intensity of the frangance and also the feel of the truffle should be hard like a rock once it starts to feel soft it means its going bad.

We had fully intended to visit the Ceretto winery but before we got there, we made a stop at the Chapel of Barolo and found they had a pop up wine tasting experience in a building across the street (a former grappa distillery for Ceretto). We were received warmly and our hostess was fantastic explaining the history, the wines and the "church" which is owned by the Ceretto family. The wines were great and we left with a few in tow. Highly recommend. I look forward to returning if/when they redo the space so that the entire view can be taken in through floor to ceiling windows. It will be just magnificent.
