Individual arrival in Barbaresco. In the evening, we will meet our hiking guide. Over an aperitivo, we will discuss the upcoming week of hiking. Afterwards, we will have dinner at our hotel, Casa Nicolini (https://casanicolini.it).

We first travel to Cassinasco. This idyllic village on the edge of the Bormido Valley offers magnificent views and is the starting point for our first hike. Where trade routes once crisscrossed the land, we encounter Saracen towers, medieval monasteries, and churches. Through vineyards, we reach the ancient Bormido Monastery. After a well-deserved lunch, we continue to Canelli, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its legendary wine history. This town is the birthplace of Moscato d'Asti and Italian "Champagne," which we will taste at a winery after our tour.

Today we're embarking on a hike in the fantastic wine region of Barbaresco. The day begins with a drive to the romantic village of Neive. Along our route to Barbaresco, we'll encounter wonderful photo opportunities, including the Roero castles and the expansive Tanaro Valley. We'll meet at the small Montaribaldi winery for a tour and conclude our Barbaresco experience with a tasting.

We begin today with a panoramic view from the "Balcony of the Langhe" overlooking the Barolo Valley. On a clear day, the Ligurian Alps even appear on the horizon. Wine lovers from all over the world appreciate this renowned wine region for its exquisite wines. The Barolo Trail leads us through the vineyards to one of our favorite winemakers in the region. He shares the history of his winery and invites us to a tasting. After a picnic amidst the magnificent landscape, we see the imposing castle of the hilltop village of Barolo in the distance, reaching the birthplace of the "King of Wines."

With so many impressions to take in, you can either relax and soak up the beauty of the region on your free day or explore the Piedmontese cultural landscape on your own. The choice of dinner is also entirely up to you. We're happy to help you plan your day.

There's plenty to see in the Roero region. Where sandy seabed once covered the land, we can now admire a typical phenomenon of the area. We begin our hike through a fascinating rocky landscape. Nature lovers and gourmets alike adore this magnificent corner of the world. Along the way, we hike through dense chestnut forests and see the famous fruit and vegetable plantations. Here grows the most delicious peaches in Piedmont. Arriving in Monteu, we'll discover the fabulous wines of a traditional winery.

A must-do on any culinary journey through the enchanting Langhe region is a truffle hunt near Alba with a "Tartufaio." This professional truffle hunter will take us on a quest for the "gold of the Langhe." White truffles are Alba's special treasure, attracting thousands of gourmets to this charming town every year. The hazelnut forests offer the best chance of finding them. We'll learn from the expert what goes into a successful truffle hunt. In the quaint village of Roddi, we'll sample truffle delicacies with a glass of wine. Afterward, Fabrizio will lead us on a short walk through Alba, followed by free time to stroll through the historic streets. If you're still missing that one or two culinary gems to complete your dolce vita experience back home, you're guaranteed to find them in Alba.
