Information valid for all formulas
The tour takes place in Alba, the historic and food-and-wine heart of the Langhe, and in the Langhe hills for those who choose the extended formula. Each stop is designed to help you discover authentic places and carefully selected local producers.
The tour length varies between a half day and a full day, depending on the selected formula. It’s a flexible experience that lets you explore both the city and the surrounding area at an easy pace.
Formula A requires at least four participants and is designed for small groups.
Formula B is also available for couples. It’s also ideal for groups of friends or family who want to celebrate an occasion.
Formula A includes a walk with food-and-wine stops: about 3–4 hours.
Formula B lasts 6–8 hours.
In both formulas, it’s important to respect the schedule, but we plan the day to leave time to visit and enjoy the places you pass through.
Transportation is not included in either formula. Formula A takes place entirely on foot in Alba, while Formula B requires your own car to reach the various stops in the Langhe. You can request an additional transportation or guiding service.

Our base prices do not officially change between high and low season: we keep the same reference rates all year round.
However, it’s good to know that in fall—peak season in the Langhe—some accommodations or services may apply surcharges that we must follow. Booking well in advance is always a smart idea!

We always aim for the best balance between quality, availability, and price 🌿
