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.

Big shout out to Marco for being so knowledgable and informative. A great morning of walking in the woodland with Gianni and his dog Mac. Mac managed to sniff out three truffles that we were kindly given. Gianni was very happy to pass on his knowledge that has been passed throughout his family for generations. The black truffles went very well into a cheese fondu. We could had sat at the cellar all day during the wine tasting! Hope to be back in Alba again to test out Marcos food tour.

Wine tasting & tour, amazing setting and super friendly staff Charming and rustic family winery with super vistas of vineyards. The wine tastings were a generous pour and pairing with some local salumi and cheese. Fresh pastry in closing. We were very well received by the owner' s son, informative and cheerful and tasted: Barbaresco Canova 2013, my favorite, raspberry nose, firmness of the tannins. Lovely orange zest finish; Barbera d'Asti Superior 2015, red fruit, medium toast oak barrels and a super extra brut 2015 Alta Langa bread crust and dried fruit scents, well-balanced.

Our family loves Piemonte for the food, wine, beauty and wonderful Italian hospitality. We discovered their wines in Singapore of all places and decided to visit and stay at the winery on one visit and have subsequently returned a few times to stock up on their delicious wines. We have young children whom enjoyed the cute guesthouse and the large safe internal courtyard whilst the adults tasted the wines with the owner family whom are so interesting and generous. They directed us to a few local restaurants which remain on our GOAT list years later. The St Emiliano red and Arneis white are our personal favourites though there is a lot of other choices. We can't wait to return
