What You'll Experience

🍫 Alba – Truffle Capital of the World
Discover Alba — the gastronomic heart of Piedmont, internationally renowned for its white truffles, artisanal chocolate, and premium hazelnuts.

This isn't a place for tour buses or souvenir stalls. Alba is reserved, refined, and blissfully untouched by mass tourism — a destination that rewards those with a taste for authenticity and elegance.

Meander through quiet, cobblestone streets framed by medieval towers and noble townhouses. Browse curated food boutiques, truffle specialists, and family-run pasticcerias that have perfected their craft for generations.


🍷 A Family-Run Winery with 6 Top Wines
Savor 6 exceptional wines — including the iconic Barolo — at a boutique, family-owned estate surrounded by the quiet beauty of the Langhe hills.

This is not a commercial stop. It's an intimate, curated tasting experience hosted by the winemakers themselves — a family with deep roots in Barolo's terroir and traditions.

You'll be welcomed as a guest, not a tourist. Each glass reveals the elegance, complexity, and passion that define Piedmont's finest reds — guided by people who live and breathe this land.


🏰 A UNESCO Castle & a Glass of Wine with a View
Step into Grinzane Cavour — a perfectly preserved 11th-century castle rising above the rolling vineyards of the Langhe.

This UNESCO World Heritage Site isn't just a castle — it's a celebration of Piedmont's wine legacy. Inside, you'll find vaulted stone halls, noble history, and the region's oldest enoteca: a curated collection of Barolo and Barbaresco beneath centuries-old beams.

Then comes the moment to pause. A hand-picked glass of wine, a quiet terrace, and panoramic views stretching across some of Italy's most prestigious vineyards.


🍽️ Taste Real Italian Food – The Way It's Meant to Be
In Alba, cuisine isn't a meal — it's heritage. Every dish tells a story, and every ingredient is a celebration of local excellence.

This is the birthplace of the Slow Food movement, where white truffles are revered like diamonds and hazelnuts become culinary treasures. Forget the tourist menus and factory-made flavors — here, you'll enjoy seasonal, artisanal dishes crafted by chefs who treat cooking as an art.

"I cannot recommend Stefano’s Alba and Barolo wine tour highly enough! From start to finish, the experience was absolutely incredible. Stefano’s deep knowledge of Barolo, the region’s history, and the winemaking process brought the entire journey to life in such a genuine and passionate way. The tour was engaging, fun, and personal. The winery he selected was outstanding – intimate, authentic, and had its own unique story. I never felt rushed, and Stefano made sure we had time to truly enjoy eve"

"Amazing trip with Oleg. I reached out to them directly after finding their number online as they were fully booked on Expedia. (literally the night before) and he was able to accommodate. Highly recommended and got to experience Lake Como, Torno, and Lake Lugano (Switzerland). Will book tours with this group again."

"We had an absolutely delightful time on our tour of Lake Como and into Switzerland up to Lugano. It was especially nice to not be in a huge group, we had plenty of time throughout our tour to enjoy the areas we toured. We also loved that we got to see things that were not overly touristy. The tour company was very easy to coordinate with...which leads to the best part of the tour, our guide. Giulia was amazing!!! She was so friendly, accommodating, and eager to make sure that we all felt special"

"We had a wonderful time on this tour. Our guide Monica showed our small group so my local places we really got to enjoy each location in a casual and relaxed manner. Not touristy at all, and we weren’t rushed through designated stops like so many other tours. I highly recommend Abroads Tours and know we will be booking with them again."
