Cata de vinos Barolo para grupos pequeños, Alba y las colinas del Piamonte de la UNESCO
Descripción
Descubra Barolo, a menudo llamado el “Rey de los vinos y el vino de los reyes”, en un viaje en grupo pequeño desde Milán a las colinas de los viñedos de Langhe, un paisaje vinícola declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO. Viaja en un cómodo grupo pequeño con un guía de habla Inglés. La primera parada es Alba, la capital mundial de la trufa blanca y cuna de Nutella. Disfruta de 2 horas de tiempo libre para pasear por el centro histórico y disfrutar del almuerzo. Desde Alba, continúe en la región vinícola de Barolo para visitar una bodega de gestión familiar con espectaculares vistas sobre las colinas de Langhe. Entra en la bodega tradicional, conoce a los productores y disfruta de una cata guiada de 7 vinos, incluido Barolo, mientras aprendes sobre los viñedos locales y las tradiciones vitivinícolas. El día también incluye una parada en el Castillo Grinzane Cavour, Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO rodeado de viñedos y uno de los miradores emblemáticos de Langhe. (Los martes, cuando el castillo está cerrado, la parada se sustituye por un mirador panorámico en La Morra o Barbaresco.)
Opciones de la excursión
Itinerario
Alba es conocida por su encanto histórico, excelente cocina y la famosa Feria de la Trufa Blanca, que se celebra los fines de semana de octubre y noviembre. Explora las torres medievales y la Catedral de San Lorenzo, la principal catedral de la ciudad. Visite las tiendas locales para obtener algunas de las mejores cremas de avellanas del mundo o disfrute del almuerzo en un pequeño restaurante tradicional que sirve especialidades de Piamonte, como pasta de huevo fresca y ternera con salsa de atún.
Visita una bodega de gestión familiar en un entorno panorámico rodeado de viñedos. Entra en las bodegas y aprende directamente de los enólogos sobre la producción de Barolo, un vino estrictamente regulado elaborado solo con uva Nebbiolo, con reglas precisas que rigen la ubicación, crianza y clasificación del viñedo. Descubre cómo cada colina y viñedo tiene su propio nombre y carácter, influyendo en la estructura, aroma y potencial de envejecimiento. Pruebe al menos seis vinos tintos DOC y DOCG, a veces siete, incluido Barolo, durante una cata guiada centrada en la calidad, el terruño, la expresión del terruño y la tradición local.
Disfruta de una visita a un castillo medieval declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO, que ofrece vistas panorámicas de las colinas de Langhe y los viñedos circundantes. Dentro del castillo, visite la histórica tienda de vinos, considerada la más antigua de la región del Piamonte, y conozca su estrecha conexión con Camillo Benso, conde de Cavour. El sabor desempeñó un papel clave en el desarrollo del vino Barolo, promoviendo métodos modernos de elaboración de vino y ayudando a transformar Barolo de un producto local en un vino respetado internacionalmente. Tenga en cuenta : los martes, cuando el castillo está cerrado, la visita se sustituye por una parada en un mirador panorámico en La Morra, conocido por algunas de las mejores vistas al viñedo de la región de Barolo.

Oleg, our driver and tour guide was extremely well read and shared his vast knowledge with us on varied topics making the whole experience very enjoyable. He took us to very exclusive places that most people would never have access to and hence the tour was very curated.
Amazing experience with Oleg . It was exactly as described and hoped for but way more! He is incredibly knowledgeable and so personable . The accommodations he provided were great . I enjoyed everything about the tour - we tasted hazelnuts, truffles, wine (very delightful), had lunch at a delicious restaurant in the town met a wonderful elderly man named Aldo who owns Azienda Agricola Sandrone Aldo (hazelnut farm ), The castle and the landscape of the region was amazing . Do this tour so well worth it !
Was absolutely wonderful. Loved our guide and tour. If you’d like to have a nice, relaxing day while enjoying some fantastic wines then this is the tour for you.
The best and the most rated wine tasting tour on tripadvisor from Milan!
Very nice wine tasting experience to BARBARESCO wines in Piedmont region. Exceptional lunch experience at Hostaria dai Musi. All thanks to our tour guy and to the driver who provides with the most comfortable ride on an executive coach. The introduction speech of Italy history, area highlights and local culture makes the two hour road ride an enjoyable journey. Highly recommended!
I was initially concerned that the long ride out of Milan would be tedious and exhausting. In fact, it was anything but that. Stephano kept us amused and engaged during the whole ride. We learned about Italian history (did not realize how young a country Italy is!) and about the twenty different regions of Italy. He shared a history of Italy for the last century be hundred and sixty years. The Italian resistance at the end of WWII is fairly unknown in the US. It was particularly exciting to hear about the strength of the Italian people during a rough period in their history. He had us laughing the whole time. The truffle shop he took us to was very good. The owner gave us a smiling introduction and some wonderful samples. The restaurant Stephano recommend for lunch was excellent. The postcard like scenery at the vineyard where the tasting took place was idyllic. The wines was all wonderful, and my wife purchased some to ship back to the US. I would highly recommend this tour group to anyone interested in the area.
What an awesome day spent with Stephano on this fun tour! Comfortable small bus with a perfect itinerary. The town Of Alba and the winery tasting are beautiful and just so pleasant. And he tossed in a pile of Italy history of the region to round out the experience. What a great way to spend a day!!
Great wines, guides, locations and tour in general. Wonderful day out, would highly recommend
Stefano was very knowledgeable. He shared a lot of information about the history of Italy.
What an amazing day tour! Very enjoyable and flawless planning!
The trip sounded more exciting with UNESCO site and wine region. The guide Stéfano is very knowledgeable about Italy, Milan and the areas visited. It’s a long drive there and when we get to the historic site, we are left to visit on our own (there’s a path below with great signage and information or you pay for a visit of the castle but not even sure we had enough time) while the guide takes a coffee; then on to Alba where the local product tasting is great and the recommended restaurant excellent (we do this on our own); then to winery for visit and tasting. Great wine tasting with the owner and wine specialist in beautiful setting. All in all it’s a fine tour but just not worth what we paid. Of course, we then had a bus problem on way back with tire blowout and had to wait 2.5 hours on the side of the highway. Upon examination, all tires were in poor shape. I do not blame the tour operator who did his best to solve this except that a better quality bus should have been booked from the beginning. Again, all I ask is to get what we pay for. As a comparison, we had done two very different tours in two other cities in prior four days that were excellent.
