Choose the style that feels most like you.

The natural setting of the Langhe contributes to your wellbeing: the slow rhythm of the hills, the chance to stop and breathe, take a photograph or simply gaze at the view. Nature is sure to win you over.
Yoga with a view and a Piedmontese lunch, as a day experience or a weekend, to rediscover a slower pace.
A slow day to share with friends: outdoor yoga in the Barolo hills, close to the colourful chapel, followed by a tasting lunch at a farmhouse restaurant with Piedmontese dishes and local wines.
During the warmer months, subject to availability, we can also suggest an option with a panoramic terrace and swimming pool, adding some relaxation after lunch.
What is included
Dinner is not included. We can make the reservation for you on request.
A short break with friends that truly allows you to slow down: one night in a B&B or small hotel, a private outdoor yoga lesson overlooking the vineyards and lunch at a farmhouse restaurant or osteria featuring local flavours.
During the summer months, the day can continue by the pool after lunch: the perfect way to enjoy a few more hours of sunshine, conversation and peace.
Dinner is not included, but we can reserve it for you so that you can enjoy a carefree weekend.
Packages focused on a relaxed connection with nature: by e-bike through the hills or on horseback in the woods of the Alta Langa.
Cycle through the hills, enjoy a few good glasses of wine and spend time with your friends.
A day outdoors, ideal for a group of friends who want to discover the Langhe in an easy-going, scenic and enjoyable way.

At the end of the ride, a winery visit awaits you, with a tasting of local wines and regional specialities: a simple, complete experience combining nature, activity and good wine.
A weekend discovering the Langhe by e-bike, through wine country and villages, with the right balance between activities and free time.
On the first day, you will leave from Alba and follow a circular route through the Barolo hills, passing places such as Barolo, La Morra and Grinzane Cavour. The map on your phone guides you along the route, and assistance is available if needed.
The experience includes a winery visit with wine tasting and a Piedmontese sharing board, one night in a hotel or B&B with breakfast and, for the following day, a written guide for exploring the Barbaresco area independently in your own car.
Dinner is not included, but we can reserve it for you.
Horses, the Langhe and good friends. One day or two, always with a focus on enjoying quality time together.
An active and sociable day combining nature, horses and good food, also ideal for first-time riders.
The experience begins at a riding centre surrounded by the woods of the Alta Langa. After a short briefing, you will enjoy a horse ride accompanied by qualified instructors.
Afterwards, you will make your own way to a small local wine bar for an informal lunch with sharing boards, traditional dishes, dessert and house wines.
A more complete and carefully planned weekend for anyone who wants to enjoy a touch of luxury in the Langhe, surrounded by nature, horses, good food and wine.
The proposal includes a horse ride through the woods of the Alta Langa, also suitable for beginners, lunch at a traditional osteria, a winery tasting in the Barbaresco area and a complete Piedmontese dinner.
The overnight stay with breakfast completes the experience, turning a trip with friends into a special, slow-paced escape without the stress of organising everything yourselves.
Light-hearted and original experiences to share an adventure: a treasure hunt with clues and a prize, or a night in the woods with stars, a barbecue and stories.
A fun and engaging game becomes the theme running through the day or the treasure-hunt weekend.
A simple, light-hearted and entertaining proposal for experiencing the Langhe in a different way, through games, discovery and small moments to share.
The self-guided treasure hunt leads you through two of the Langhe’s most beautiful villages, Neive and Barbaresco, with scenic stops among the vineyards of Coazzolo, the colourful chapel and the Vigna dei Pastelli.
Clues, questions and curious facts guide you through narrow streets, views, hidden details and small local stories. There is no need to rush: the pleasure lies in observing, comparing ideas, laughing and letting yourselves be surprised.
Complete the route and a small final surprise with a view awaits you!
A simple and enjoyable weekend for discovering Alba in an original way, without giving up the pleasure of spending relaxed time together.
The proposal centres on a tourist treasure hunt through the historic centre: a self-guided route with clues, curious facts, hidden views and small details to notice. One of our team members will send you the first link when you arrive; from there, the group can continue at its own pace and contact us if needed.
At the end of the game, you will enjoy a final lunch, perfect for continuing the day over conversation and good food. The overnight stay at a selected farmhouse accommodation or B&B completes the proposal.
In the evening, enjoy dinner at a restaurant in Alba, allowing the weekend to continue without having to think about the organisation.
A night in the woods with a barbecue, stars, stories and mystery-themed games: a safe and original adventure to share with friends.
Available from mid-May to mid-September
A night unlike the usual, shared with friends in the heart of the Langhe woods.
With an expert activity leader, you can enjoy the experience safely: a barbecue, marshmallows toasted over the fire, stories, a starry sky and a small mystery game inspired by the “Masche”, the legendary witches of the Langhe.
The night in a tent and country-style breakfast complete the proposal: a small, original and accessible adventure that does not require any camping experience.
In bad weather, when postponement is not possible, the activity may use a covered venue located very close by.
Two original ways to experience the Langhe with a different touch: a personal style consultation with a winery tasting, or a hill reserved exclusively for your group, with a gourmet picnic and time to slow down.
An original experience combining style, colours and wine: colour analysis, image advice and a tasting at an elegant Langhe winery.
An original and light-hearted day, perfect for a group of friends who want to share something different from the usual.
The experience combines a style lesson and image consultation with an experienced professional and a personal colour-analysis session, helping each guest discover the colours that suit her best and receive personalised advice on make-up, outfits and how to wear them.
Everything takes place in an elegant, carefully selected setting: one of the wineries chosen by SlowDays, where the experience continues with a tasting of 3 wines accompanied by sharing boards of local specialities.
For anyone wishing to make the day more complete, the tasting can be replaced with lunch at the winery.
A hill reserved exclusively for your group, with a gourmet picnic, lavender, music and relaxation areas: a private break to enjoy without rushing.
A simple yet special experience for a group of friends looking for a private space surrounded by nature, away from noise and hurry.
The venue is yours for half a day: an informal, well-kept hill with relaxation areas, a lavender field, small places to cool off and everything you need to enjoy your time at an easy pace.
The gourmet picnic is delivered directly to the venue, with cold dishes, dessert, fruit, water and wine included. You can choose a lunchtime or evening experience, play your own music and enjoy a moment entirely to yourselves, filled with conversation, photographs, toasts and beautiful scenery.
The proposals you have seen are starting points: some work perfectly as day experiences, while others can become a weekend with an overnight stay, dinner or an additional activity.
Tell us how many people are in your group, where you are travelling from, how much time you have and the atmosphere you are looking for. We will help you choose the most suitable combination, with realistic timings and activities already tried and tested in the Langhe.
Sometimes it takes very little to feel the need to get away together.
One weekend with friends begins with the desire to spend time together, talk without watching the clock and share a long lunch, a walk or a toast.
It may be the perfect opportunity for colleagues who see each other every day but never have enough time for a real conversation; for friends who live far apart; for school friends who arrange a reunion every year; or for a group of “girls with a few decades of experience” who want to relax, laugh and enjoy being looked after for a while.
Even when a whole weekend is not possible, a single day can still feel special: simply choose an experience that helps you switch off, change pace and create a shared memory.
The Langhe are perfect for a weekend with friends because they combine scenery, wine, good food and small experiences to enjoy at a relaxed pace.
You can start in Alba, travel between Barolo, La Morra, Barbaresco and the wine hills, and choose a winery, a walk, a spa, a picnic, an e-bike tour or a special dinner.
There is no need to fill every moment of the programme: often it is enough to choose the right theme — relaxation, food and wine, nature or fun — and leave room for conversation, laughter and the pleasure of being together again.
This is also what SlowDays means to us: we believe in slow, shared travel without unnecessary rushing.
A whole weekend or just one day? Even a single day can work beautifully when it follows the right rhythm: arrival, an experience, lunch or a tasting, some free time and a stress-free journey home.
Relaxation, wine, nature, fun, a gentle activity or something original? The important thing is to avoid programmes that are too full or unsuitable for the group. Choose one theme that appeals to most of your friends.
Possible dates, approximate budget, willingness to drive and a preference for relaxation, food and wine, outdoor activities or a fun experience. Too many options can simply make the decision harder.
The Langhe are a hilly area, and travelling by car is often the most convenient option. How many cars will you have? Who prefers to drive? Are you all arriving from the same place, or do you need an easy meeting point?
I am not trying to sell you as many experiences as possible. I want to offer you well-planned time that allows you to enjoy and strengthen your friendship. The name is SlowDays for a reason: fast experiences are not our style!
Yes, certainly. Many SlowDays proposals work perfectly as day experiences: a treasure hunt, an e-bike tour, a horse ride, a wine tasting, a spa, a picnic or something more unusual.
A single day can be ideal when you are travelling from Piedmont, Lombardy, Liguria or another area that is not too far away. The important thing is to choose a programme with realistic timings, allowing you to enjoy the experience without rushing.
Yes. Although some experiences are often arranged for bachelorette parties, they are equally suitable for groups of friends, colleagues, school friends, sisters, cousins or small groups who simply want to spend time together again.
The atmosphere changes according to the group: it can be a relaxing day, a food-and-wine weekend, an experience in nature, a game through villages and clues or a small special moment to share.
In many cases, yes. The Langhe are a hilly area of villages, wineries, farmhouse restaurants and scenic viewpoints that are not always connected by public transport.
For some experiences, you will therefore need to travel in your own cars. When we prepare your programme, we provide addresses, timings and meeting points, helping you organise the day more easily and understand how many cars are needed.
Yes. Many experiences can become a more complete proposal by adding dinner, a night at a selected property or a second activity.
Some packages are already designed as weekends; others begin as day experiences but can be combined with accommodation, dinner or extra moments. Tell us what you have in mind and we will help you understand which combination works best.
The easiest way is to begin with a few questions: how many people are in the group, where you are travelling from, how much time you have, your approximate budget and the atmosphere you are looking for.
Relaxation, nature, food and wine, games, gentle activity or something more unusual? You do not need to have everything worked out already: tell us about your group and we will help you choose a proposal suited to your pace, age range, interests and available time.
It depends on the chosen experience. Some outdoor activities can still go ahead in uncertain weather; others can be adapted, moved or replaced with more suitable alternatives.
When the weather may affect the experience, we assess the situation with you in the preceding days and explain the available alternatives. Our aim is always to create a pleasant and safe day without last-minute improvisation.
The earlier you contact us, the better, particularly when you are looking for a weekend with accommodation, a Saturday date or a popular period such as spring, summer or the grape harvest.
A simple day experience may require less notice, but larger groups and proposals involving several services should book earlier. This gives us more opportunities to find suitable accommodation, wineries and activities for your group.
When you are looking for a weekend with friends in Piedmont, the Langhe are an excellent destination, combining villages, hills, wine, good food and many experiences to enjoy at a relaxed pace.
Alba is a convenient starting point, with Barolo, La Morra, Barbaresco, Neive and the Alta Langa all nearby. In one day, you can choose one main activity; with an overnight stay, you can add dinner, a spa, a tasting or a second, lighter experience.
It depends on the group and the kind of day you imagine. For a relaxing experience, choose a spa, yoga, a picnic or a private hill. For something more active, there are e-bikes, horse riding and walks in nature. Treasure hunts and game-themed activities work especially well for groups looking for fun.
The idea is not to fill the programme, but to choose one or two experiences that allow you to be together, talk, laugh and enjoy the Langhe at the right pace.
Yes. With more time, a simple experience can become a short holiday with friends in the Langhe, including one or two nights, dinner, a tasting or an additional activity.
For groups travelling from farther away, a weekend with accommodation lets you enjoy everything more slowly: arrival, the main experience, dinner, a night at a selected property and perhaps a more flexible second day exploring villages, wineries and scenic views.
“Claudia organised a fantastic day for my wife and me to celebrate our fortieth birthdays. As a horse lover, she absolutely loved the experience. …
Thank you so much for arranging such a truly memorable experience!”
“It was an unforgettable weekend, organised down to the smallest detail. We had the farmhouse accommodation entirely to ourselves, and the staff were extremely kind. We ate very well and enjoyed unique experiences. Thank you, SlowDays, and thank you, Claudia.”
“Excellent organisation, detailed and accurate information, a wonderful choice of accommodation and wineries to visit, and carefully selected routes that were easy to follow. Claudia was very kind. I absolutely recommend relying on her professional expertise.”
