A full-day tour with a small group (up to 7 guests) from Alba with a professional driver and luxury van. Drive on the most panoramic wine routes within the area of production of Barolo wine with views over vineyards, medieval towers and quaint villages. Visit a first off-the-beaten track winery where Barolo wine is aged and enjoy a wine tasting of four premium wines including different types of Barolo. Some free time in one of the villages of the area wondering around wine shops or simply enjoying the quiet and cozy atmosphere. The second winery we visit, it includes a light lunch (salami, a plate of cheese with honey and jam, warm focaccia) paired with their wines. Later, drive East of Alba where the Langhe hills get shaped like natural amphitheaters, originating a unique micro climate and exposure which makes the cultivation of Nebbiolo grapes ideal for Barbaresco wine. Visit the third family-run cellar of the day and partake in one more premium wine tasting with more food.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Three different wineries with premium wine tastings, Light lunch set in one of the wineries we visit, Free time in at least one or more villages of the area

The four of us booked this tour with Meet Piemonte. They sent us the addresses of the two wineries which we would have never found on our own and a list of things to see in the area. Gorgeous cellars, both owners where so personable and treated us like family. Lunch was a starter, ravioli and dessert, not a huge meal but enough to carry on until dinner and great pairing with the wines of the first winery. We had some time in between wineries so we went to one of the big benches they recommend us and we took photos and enjoy some sunshine. This region is stunning and we will come back.
