Barolo, Barbaresco, selected wineries, leisurely lunches, breathtaking views and carefully chosen wines. Our wine tours are not a rush from one tasting to the next, but experiences designed to discover the Langhe through wine, food and the right encounters.
Langhe wine tour: not just tastings, but a territory to discover at a slower pace

Wine as the theme of a holiday in the Langhe
When we talk about wine tours, we don’t think of them as just a tasting at a winery. For us, wine can become the thread that connects a weekend, an e-bike ride, a walk through the hills or a Vespa day with lunch. The way you reach the glass may change, but the goal remains the same: to experience the region at a slower pace.

When to plan your winery visit in the Langhe
Spring
The vines come back to life, the days get longer and the wineries are quieter. It’s a great time for a wine tour with lunch, a gentle walk or a first experience in the Langhe without the crowds of the busiest months. In spring, you can also take part in Vinum, Alba’s wine festival, and taste the new wines freshly bottled.
Summer
It’s best to avoid overplanning during the hottest hours of the day. Experiences that work well include cellar lunches, scenic stops, Vespa rides, morning e-bike tours or private driver tours, allowing you to enjoy the day at a more relaxed pace. You could also take advantage of our agriturismo weekend experience with a pool, combining wine tastings with time to unwind.
Autumn
It is the most famous season, with the grape harvest, autumn foliage, truffles and outstanding red wines. It is a wonderful time to visit, but also the busiest: for Barolo and Barbaresco wine tours, winery visits with lunch or food and wine weekends, it is best to book well in advance.
If you come to the Langhe in autumn for a wine tour, I recommend combining the experience with a truffle hunt. Pairing a glass of wine with a truffle dish is truly an exceptional experience!
winter
Wineries become more intimate and fine wines find their perfect moment. It is an ideal season for slow lunches, intimate tastings, food and wine weekends and quieter days away from the crowds. The combinations of local food and wine products are many and of great importance. Take a look at the Guide section dedicated to food and wine experiences.
Which is the right winery to visit in the Langhe?
There is no single answer that works for everyone. Some people dream of visiting a historic winery, others prefer a small family-run producer; some look for a leisurely lunch among the vineyards, while others want to discover Barolo or learn more about Barbaresco.
Our role is to help you choose the winery that best matches the kind of experience you want to have, without creating overpacked days that only look good on paper. Sometimes a single visit, experienced at the right pace, can tell you much more than three tastings scheduled one after another.

Barolo and Barbaresco: two different ways of understanding the Langhe
Although both wines come from the same grape, Barolo and Barbaresco stand apart for their subtle differences in taste. Barolo, with its longer aging period, shows greater power, while Barbaresco, with a slightly shorter refinement period, offers a more immediate elegance.
Barolo and Barbaresco are both made from Nebbiolo, but they tell the story of different landscapes and atmospheres.
Barolo takes you towards more intense hills, historic wineries, small producers and deep, complex wines, often with greater structure. It is ideal for those looking for a more immersive day, made of encounters, cellar lunches and tastings that help you understand the weight of tradition.
Barbaresco has a different kind of elegance: more intimate landscapes, open views, the Tower, and the hills around Barbaresco, Neive and Treiso. It is perfect for those looking for a softer, more scenic and refined wine tour.
In both cases, it is not about tasting the highest possible number of wines. What matters is choosing the right stops and giving the day the time to tell its own story.
Meet the Producers with Our Wine Tastings in the Langhe
If you are looking for someone local — a local guide, as people say today — who can recommend the best experiences for your winery visits in the Langhe and create a personalized package for you, you are in the right place!
We know this area very well, along with the many small local producers that make it so special: because Piedmont is always a journey of discovery, and we love guiding it through the people who live here.
Everyone has a secret to share, a story that can make us feel at home, and this is why we love introducing visitors to these places. For us, true luxury is the authenticity of an experience lived away from the usual tourist routes. The best wineries in the Langhe are the ones with a heart to share with you!
True luxury is time: time we can dedicate to ourselves. Taking a few days away from a busy life and enjoying experiences such as a winery visit in the Barolo or Barbaresco area can be a wonderful gift to give yourself. The wine tastings we want to offer you are not the usual tourist-style winery visits in the Langhe. We bring our heart, and our deep knowledge of the area, into every experience.
