I was born in Alba, in the heart of the Langhe, and here I live since ever. Spent my childhood hiking and biking these hills, helping the family in the weekends in my grandparents's Estate, picking hazelnuts and harvesting grapes. And Sunday lunch was a family thing, preparing tajarin home made pasta or tasting my wonderful Grandmother's 'minestrone' (vegetable soup) in winter, with a (couple of) spoon of Dolcetto in it. That's what I call 'imprinting! The passion for this unexpected area grew up in years: so many different flavours in different seasons, a tremendous amount of roman and medieval remains, a surprising local 'cuisine' tradition, a scenographic hilly landscape (the 50th Italian UNESCO heritage site), not to mention an all-over-the-world well known wine tradition. And. . . Who loves truffles? I became certified Piedmont tour guide in 2010, certified hiking guide in 2017 and certified bike guide in 2019 (Tic-tae-toe!) so I finally turned my knowledge and passion in a perfect job. Here I am! And my goal is always the same: share with the travellers 'local spots', discovering familiar farmers and cellars! Come to enjoy South Piedmont. Simply a wonderful. Simply unexpected. Local from more then 50yrs ; )) Certified tour guide, hiking guide, biking guide 2yrs Degree in wine tasting (ONAV) I love do this! None

Discover Langhe wine-culture exploring Barolo and Barbaresco!
Overview of your Barolo tour
A full immersion in the Langhe wine landscapes, where the 2 types of the blood of Langhe's heart flow free: BAROLO and BARBARESCO. Both villages give a name to extraordinary wines. Both are a picturesque bunch of houses, with more cellars than houses. Both are worth for sure a visit if you are wine-lovers. Come and taste the landscape with a local guide! A full-day tour to VISIT BOTH BAROLO and BARBARESCO, discovering what changed those farmer villages in two all-over-the-world renowned status symbols! We'll have one private tasting each village. Free lunch (I'll point you to it if you wish) and then we'll have a 'tour in the tour', moving through wine landscapes on panoramic roads from one village to another (about 45 min driving), reaching stunning viewpoints and monuments (for sure we'll pass through wonderful Grinzane castle - UNESCO core zone 2014) A full day tour for wine-lovers. Let wine spirit flow through your veins!
