Article by Baldassarri Giuseppe Alberto Content marketing specialist for Trips to Langhe, from ITALIA.
Langhe is a beautiful region located in the Piedmont region of Northwestern Italy. It is known for its rolling hills, picturesque vineyards, charming villages, and delicious food and wine. To explore Langhe and its surroundings while practicing responsible tourism, I recommend planning an itinerary lasting at least 3 to 4 days. This will allow you to immerse yourself in the local attractions, indulge in the culinary delights, and appreciate the stunning landscapes.
Here's a suggested itinerary for your trip to Langhe:
Day 1: Arrival and Alba
- Arrive in Langhe, which is easily accessible by car or public transportation. The nearest major airports are Turin Airport and Milan Malpensa Airport.
- Check into your accommodation in the city of Alba, which serves as an excellent base for exploring the region. Consider staying in a hotel or agriturismo (farmstay) in or near the city center.
- Spend the day exploring Alba. Visit the historic center with its medieval towers and cobblestone streets. Don't miss the Cathedral of San Lorenzo and the picturesque Piazza del Duomo. Alba is also famous for its truffles, so be sure to try some truffle-based dishes at local restaurants.
Day 2: Barolo and Wine Tasting
- Head to the town of Barolo, located in the heart of Langhe. Explore the town's historic center and visit the WiMu (Wine Museum) to learn about the history and production of Barolo wine.
- Embark on a wine-tasting experience at a local winery in Barolo or the surrounding area. Barolo is renowned for its full-bodied red wines made from the Nebbiolo grape variety. Sample different vintages, learn about the winemaking process, and enjoy the scenic vineyard views.
- If time allows, visit nearby towns such as La Morra or Monforte d'Alba, which offer stunning panoramas of the vine-covered hills.
Day 3: Alba Surroundings and Truffle Hunting
- Explore the countryside surrounding Alba. Visit the picturesque hilltop village of Neive, known for its Barbaresco wine production. Take a leisurely stroll through the town and enjoy the charming atmosphere.
- Consider joining a truffle hunting experience, where you can accompany a truffle hunter and their trained dog as they search for these prized fungi in the woods. Learn about truffle hunting traditions and sample fresh truffles.
- In the afternoon, visit the town of Bra, known for its excellent cheeses. Explore the historic center and visit local cheese shops to taste regional specialties like Bra Duro, Castelmagno, or Robiola.
Day 4: Asti and Moscato Tasting
- Take a day trip to the city of Asti, located northeast of Langhe. Explore the beautiful historic center, visit the Gothic-style Asti Cathedral, and wander through the lively Piazza Alfieri.
- Asti is famous for its sparkling wine, especially the sweet Moscato d'Asti. Visit a local winery to taste this aromatic wine and learn about its production process.
- If time permits, visit the nearby town of Canelli, known for its underground wine cellars. Take a guided tour of the cellars and learn about the traditional method of producing sparkling wines.
There are various accommodation options in Langhe, including hotels, agriturismos, and guesthouses. Consider staying in Alba or one of the charming villages in the area, such as Barolo or La Morra, to be close to the attractions and vineyards.
To reach Langhe, you can rent a car and drive from nearby cities or take a train to Alba or Asti and then use local transportation to explore the region.
