Why This Tour Is Unique
Alba has no tourist circuit. It is a small medieval city that has been eating and drinking seriously for two thousand years — and it stays that way. No tour groups, no laminated menus, no performance for visitors.
The winery we visit is a small family estate in the Langhe hills. Not a showroom. The winemaker pours personally because it is his cellar and his wine — and that changes everything about the conversation.
In Alba, the pasta is made from flour and egg yolks only — up to 40 yolks per kilogram of flour. No water, no whole eggs. The result is a pasta so rich it barely needs a sauce, and in truffle season it gets nothing but butter and shaved white truffle. The ingredients are simple. The craft behind them is not. That is the Langhe in a single dish.
The day is private, the vehicle is yours, and the itinerary moves with you.
What You'll Experience
In short:
A fully private day in Piedmont with hotel pickup, a guided walk through Alba — the white truffle capital of the world — and a boutique family winery with 8-wine tasting. No shared groups, no fixed menus, no rushed stops.
🚐 1. Hotel Pickup in Milan
⏱️ Flexible — we recommend leaving at 9:00 AM
Your private guide meets you at your hotel entrance. A brief overview of the day, and you leave Milan behind.
🌄 2. Drive into the Langhe
⏱️ Approx. 1 hour 45 minutes
The flat Lombard plain gives way to rolling hills covered entirely in vines. Your guide provides context along the way — the geology, the history, what you are about to taste and why it matters.
🏙️ 3. Walking Tour of Alba
⏱️ Approx. 45 minutes
Alba is a medieval city that has been eating seriously for two thousand years. No tourist circuit, no laminated menus. Your guide walks you through the historic center — the Roman street grid still in daily use, the ochre towers, the truffle market district — and explains what you are looking at and why it matters.
🍽️ 4. Lunch in Alba
⏱️ Approx. 1.5 - 2 hours
Your guide brings you to a personally vetted restaurant. The pasta in Alba is made with up to 40 egg yolks per kilogram of flour. In truffle season, it arrives with nothing but butter and shaved white truffle. Our guests consistently call this the finest meal of their entire Italy trip. Lunch is not included in the price — it is yours to enjoy as you see fit.
🍷 5. Boutique Winery Visit & 8-Wine Tasting
⏱️ Approx. 2 hours
A small, family-run estate in the Langhe hills — not a commercial tasting room. The winemaker greets you personally and pours 8 wines including Barolo and Barbaresco, in the cellar where they were made. Unhurried, guided, and genuinely informative.
🍫 6. Truffle, Hazelnut & Barbaresco Tasting — Exclusive to Direct Bookings
⏱️ 15–20 minutes · Complimentary for direct bookings
A tasting of truffle products and Piedmontese hazelnuts — the same variety behind Nutella and Ferrero Rocher, grown in the hills surrounding Alba.
🍷 Complimentary Barbaresco — exclusively for direct bookings:
Barbaresco is the neighbouring wine to Barolo, made from the same Nebbiolo grape — and often called the Queen to Barolo's King.
Groups of 2–3: a complimentary glass of Barbaresco per person.
Groups of 4 or more: full bottle of Barbaresco
🌅 7. Return Drive to Milan
⏱️ Approx. 2 hours
A relaxed drive back through the Langhe and across the Po plain. Your guide drops you directly at your hotel.
⏱️ Total duration: approx. 10 hours
🚶 Walking: light — mostly flat historic center
🕖 Return to Milan: around 7:00 PM
Timings may vary slightly depending on season, winery schedule, and road conditions — but the overall structure remains the same.
