The vineyard of pastels and whimsical 'langhetti."

Come with us to the VIGNA DEI PASTELLI

vigna_dei_pastelli

With our ‘La vigna dei Pastelli’ Bike Tour, you can discover a unique and fun itinerary among some of Langhe’s most original attractions!

We like alternative routes, and above all, we are happy to propose simple days in the middle of nature to discover the Langhe in a SLOW way!

We think that the E-bike is a fantastic means to ride in the hills: the climbs would be too “tough” with the standard bike (muscular, as the experts call it), but the E-bike allows you to do a bit of fatigue, but not too much…and then do you want to put the descents after the exhaustion of the climb? Priceless!!!

Our Tours are designed without a guide to enjoy the day in freedom: you will have a personalized track to follow on your phone so you don’t get lost! Super easy!

YOU DECIDE THE DATE, AND WE CONFIRM AVAILABILITY IN A MAXIMUM 24 HOURS!

E-bike rental, map to follow on mobile phone, and aperitif lunch in the legendary Pastel Vineyard

WHAT DOES THE FORMULA A INCLUDE

  • One-day Ebike rental starting at 10 a.m.
  • Personalized route map to follow on your phone like a navigator
  • Aperitif lunch at the Pastelli vineyard (the one with the giant colored pencils!) consists of 2 white and two red wines, cooked and raw salami, lard, Bra sausage, frittatas, Russian salad, and three kinds of cheese. The rustic wooden table will be set right in the vineyard, and if it is very sunny, a tarp spread between the rows will shelter you.
  • Then, on to the colorful little church of Coazzolo; you can’t miss the giant Coazzolo bench, and above all, you’ll get to Neive, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. On the way back, one more treat: the open-air museum of Camo, with magnificent works exhibited outdoors by contemporary artists (warning: don’t miss one of the most beautiful views of the Langhe from the belvedere!).
  • Return of bikes by 6 p.m.

PATH INSIGHTS

The vineyard of pastels

Why put giant pencils to mark out the rows? But to be noticed, right? At first, the vineyard owner’s idea was to restrict his vineyard from his neighbors to indicate to those working for him where they should stop…from there, coming to a tourist attraction is a short step!

We are located near the little church in Coazzolo. A not-long path takes you to the Vigna dei Pastelli. It is a private vineyard, which you can savor by taking a short walk. You’ll come across a row of crayons, colors with lots of sharp points, giant and colorful. They pop out of the ground at the beginning of each row. They are cute, cheerful, and ingenious!
Let your gaze drift over the horizon, and among the valleys and hills, you’ll also be introduced to Monviso, the mountain of the “langhetti,” who see it a little from every height.

If you want to stay a few days and explore other cycling routes, I recommend looking at our Cycling Holidays.

A walk in Neive, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy

Neive is a place not to be missed if you come to the Langhe! Neive has been listed among the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy for a few years now, and of course, there is more than one reason to visit it

Neive, what to see?

In Neive, it is nice to be amazed, walk in the alleys, and discover the wine shops; the views of the Langhe are incomparable.

There are several wineries in the village, some that can be visited even without a reservation if it is not high season (such as the Cantina del Glicine, which is very interesting and dates back to 1582)

Several restaurants on all levels look for the one with ivy all over the facade; we’re sure you can’t miss photographing it!

Camo’s open-air museum

We told you that this tour had as its theme whimsical “langhetti”…. Claudio Lorenzoni is one of them: since 2013 he has been hosting the works of young artists who leave their jobs in this beautiful museum that can be visited free of charge every day of the year by anyone looking for inspiration.

I have some questions ...

And here are your answers!

5 star ratingIncredibile tour a piedi di 4 giorni e ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo Incredibile tour a piedi di 4 giorni organizzato da Claudia e dal suo team: cosa possiamo dire ma perfetto dall'inizio alla fine. Le passeggiate tra i vigneti e in cima alle colline erano fantastiche, lo scenario era incredibile, il nostro alloggio a La Morra era perfetto perché non dovevamo spostare le valigie ogni giorno, i nostri trasferimenti all'inizio e alla fine delle nostre passeggiate ogni giorno erano fluidi, confortevoli e sempre puntuali . Anche i tour aggiuntivi del castello e della torre con pranzi locali inclusi sono stati un'esperienza fantastica. 10/10 a tutti i soggetti coinvolti: grazie a tutti i fornitori e torneremo presto.

5 star ratingTre tour in Italia di Claudia Slowdays Vorrei farti conoscere i tre tour che ci hai fornito. Il primo è stato a Milano. Sara ha fatto un ottimo lavoro, anche se c'erano problemi al di fuori del suo controllo: l'ascensore salta fila per l'Ultima Cena non funzionava, quindi ho dovuto unirmi alla coda "normale". I taxi erano quasi impossibili da trovare. Ma ha fatto comunque un ottimo lavoro. Abbiamo apprezzato il tour dello straordinario Duomo di Milano. Il secondo (Torino) è stato piuttosto carino. Laura, la nostra guida, era molto ben informata e ci ha fornito molte informazioni sul tour a piedi. Era molto gentile e parlava abbastanza bene l'inglese. Ci ha fatto conoscere molte usanze locali di cui non avevamo mai sentito parlare prima. Laura è stata estremamente gentile e il suo inglese era molto buono. Il nostro terzo tour (delle cantine) è stato un gioiello. Claudio, il nostro autista, ci ha fornito un commento sulla zona mentre guidavamo da un posto all'altro. Ogni azienda vinicola era ben rappresentata. Le degustazioni erano tutte abbastanza buone. Per me il "pranzo leggero" è stato un vero pasto! Niente cena per me quella sera! Il furgone su cui viaggiavamo era pulito e confortevole. Le tre cantine che hai selezionato erano meravigliose. Volevo farti sapere che ci siamo davvero divertiti in ogni tour e abbiamo imparato molto sulla vita (e sul vino) in Italia. Grazie ancora. Hai sicuramente la mia raccomandazione!
