Additional Information

Trekking around Serralunga Castle is an intriguing experience that allows you to have history, scenery, and tasting all day. This tour is a genuine surprise, an opportunity to uncover the secrets of one of the most beautiful medieval castles in the Langhe.

We love this tour because:

What makes this tour so unique? To begin with, you can visit Serralunga Castle accompanied by expert guides. This is undoubtedly a significant added value because you can delve into the history of this imposing structure. The guides will lead you through the corridors and historic rooms, where you can admire ancient frescoes and discover architectural details that tell its long and fascinating story.

The castle visit lasts approximately 45 minutes, just the right amount of time to appreciate the castle. It’s a comprehensive experience, but it won’t be the only one of the day.

The panoramic view is one of the main attractions of Serralunga Castle: from its windows, especially from the top of the tower, you can enjoy a spectacular view that embraces the surrounding countryside and extends to the majestic Alps. The feeling of being on top of the world is truly indescribable.

The history of Serralunga Castle dates back to the 12th century when it was built as a defensive structure.

Its central tower and mighty stone walls tell stories of brave knights, feudal lords, and epic battles nearby. Every corner of the castle recalls medieval life, and as you explore it, you can live and hear the voices of the past.

But there’s more. This tour emphasizes not only the castle itself but also its surroundings. Serralunga is located in the renowned Langhe of Barolo region, famous worldwide for its prized wine known as the “King of Wines.” You can enjoy a stroll through the vineyards, immersing yourself in the beauty of this hilly landscape.

Why is Serralunga so famous, and how does its name connect to Barolo wines?

The answer lies in the rich winemaking tradition of this region. The vineyards of the Langhe are famous for producing some of Italy’s best wines, including the celebrated Barolo. And Serralunga is one of the municipalities involved in this winemaking tradition. The vines that grace the hills around the castle are an integral part of the region’s wine history.

In conclusion, the Serralunga d’Alba and its Castle Walking Tour offer a well-rounded experience: history, culture, breathtaking landscapes, and gastronomic pleasures. It’s a journey through time and flavors that will leave you with unforgettable memories of the Langhe of Barolo and the magnificent Serralunga Castle.

Grappoli di serenità Camminare tra i filari, apprezzando il territorio e gustando la tranquillità di questo slow-day, è qualcosa da condivedere e pubblicizzare. La Morra con il suo belvedere domina le colline circostanti dove lo sguardo si perde e porta l'Infinito di Leopardi in terra piemontese....

Un regalo speciale da condividere con le amiche. Cercavamo un'idea carina da regalare ad una nostra amica e l'abbiamo trovata grazie a Claudia e al suo staff. Una magnifica giornata nelle Langhe in zona La Morra. Alla mattina un trekking soft tra i vigneti con traccia personalizzata (impssibile perdersi!). Pranzo in vineria e al ritorno dalla passeggiata, visita in una cantina della zona. Per rilassarci dal sole (e dal vino) fine giornata in un centro benessere.Eccellente l'organizzazione, programma dettagliato con orari che ci hanno consentito di fare tutto con calma, accoglienza e professionalità nelle varie tappe e soprattutto disponibilità degli organizzatori. Da rifare.

Abbiamo fatto una passeggiata a piedi tra le vigne del Barbaresco, partendo e tornando a Treiso (circa 5,5 km in 2 ore). Alla fine del giro siamo stati alla Cantina di Treiso, dove abbiamo assaggiato tutti i vini disponibili.
Una bellissima esperienza, vigneti e paesaggi mozzafiato, sempre guidati nel percorso dalla app inviatici da Claudia, e alla fine la piacevole chiacchierata con la responsabile della cantina, che ci ha professionalmente spiegato tutto e ci ha anche dato ottimi consigli su ristoranti della zona.

Weekend Amiche in relax nelle Langhe Claudia di Slowdays é stata la soluzione ideale per organizzare un tour nelle Langhe all'ultimo minuto. Avendo poco tempo per organizzare mi sono affidata a lei e il risultato è stato impeccabile. Abbiamo trovato ospitalità e gentilezza in luoghi stupendi. Il tour comprendeva degustazione vini in una cantina di Barbaresco, pomeriggio in SPA ad Alba, cena con degustazione dei piatti locali e pernottamento a Guarene. Ero in compagnia di un'amica e siamo state entrambe benissimo. Da rifare!
