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

A slow immersion through Langhe wine landscapes with a private guide, to understand what's behind the bottle: a couple of easy trekkings, one in the Barolo area and another one in the Barbaresco area, all of them ending with a visit of these two iconic villages. Both villages give a name to extraordinary wines, both are a picturesque bunch of houses, with more cellars than houses. Come to explore wine culture step by step, admiring stunning wine landscapes on panoramic paths. An intense experience that will. . . Make you thirsty! Chance of wine tasting in each village, on request! A deep wine experience for active wine lovers.

Free lunch and then second part of the day in the other wine area, again a short trekking then visit the village (optional wine tasting). Endo of service about 4 / 5 pm
