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.

If you visit the area of Langhe, you love wine and if you love wine, you want to taste the wine. One thing to do: book One On The Hill. It is an amazing experience. Pierandrea is a good expert in wine and he drives you around (in his Tesla) to the nice vineyards to taste. He knows a lot about the region, the wine, the food to combine,... It's a nice man to have around, with a lot of knowledge. He has a good relationship with the vineyards and helps you on the spot with which wines to choose on an honest and respectful way. We are very glad we have met him, a friendship and expert to hold on to learn more about the wine and of all to buy local if we go on holiday :-). If you become a member of his Wine Club, you receive wines during the year, which is a wonderful concept. One thing on the side, but for our as parents so important. We have a 2 year old son, Luca, so we were doubting by doing the trip, but Pierandrea made a whole new program to adapt to our son, so big thank you for that. Bottom line: just do it!

My name is Jessica, I will accompany you on a visit to the vineyards and cellar. We produce wine for passion, with respect for the environment and continuous search for quality without forgetting the poetry that wine contains. We want to offer our guests a full-immersion experience in the world of oenology, and tasting, with a sensory journey to discover the world of wine from cultivation to aging. You can take a panoramic walk with us in the vineyard, where depending on the season you can actively follow the different processes, to understand how the wine is born in the vineyard, and then continues its life in the cellar from alcoholic fermentation to aging in wood. The experience ends with the tasting of wines paired with local products selected by the best farms. In case of bad weather the experience is carried out entirely indoors The visits start at 11.00 and 16.00, for different needs do not hesitate to contact us!

We are very sad that we didn’t get our guide’s name but she was superb. Took us to all the essential places - palaces, cafes, arcades, museums, markets - so we got our bearings with the history and architecture as well as the geography. Gave us great tips all the way and tailored things to our interests so we could come back and visit sites later. She was intellligent and friendly and a truly great ambassador for her wonderful city. Absolutely highly recommended!
