Summer in the winery experiences and tastings among the vine rows

August is the summer month when the vineyards of the Langhe explode with vibrant colors, fragrances, and vitality.

The vine rows turn a deep green, the days are longer, and the warm evening air invites you to enjoy moments outdoors, perhaps with a glass of wine in hand.

It’s the perfect time to discover the local wineries and let yourself be captivated by immersive experiences amidst nature, flavors, and conviviality.

Sunset Tastings and Picnics Among the Vine Rows

Summer enhances the pleasure of an outdoor tasting, and the Langhe producers know this well, so they offer tailored activities to experience wine in an authentic and relaxed way.

An example? Cadia, in Roddi, offers a charming picnic among the vineyards: gourmet basket, glass of wine, and sunset over the hills, all immersed in the tranquility of nature.

Another not-to-be-missed proposal is the walk with tasting at Gianni Doglia, in the Asti area, where walking among the vines becomes a way to connect with the winemaker’s work and savor the wine right where it’s born.

Wine Tour by E-Bike and Music in the Vineyard

For the more active, August is also the perfect month to explore the hills on an e-bike.

Moscone, in Monforte d’Alba, offers you three hours of fun with a tour of the vineyards by electric bicycle, a visit to the production facilities, and a guided tasting.

An original and sustainable way to combine exercise and food and wine pleasure.

More and more wineries are also offering evening events with live music.

The magic of the night, a glass of Barbera or Alta Langa in your fingers, and jazz or folk notes spreading through the vineyard will be remembered as beautiful convivial and multisensory moments.

Engaging and Exclusive Experiences

If you’re looking for more intense emotions, Dosio Vigneti offers “A stroll through the vineyards”: a panoramic walk in the La Morra area, accompanied by a sommelier who explains the terroir, grape varieties, and production processes. An educational format, perfect even for wine novices.

In Albaretto della Torre, on the other hand, “A breath of Alta Langa” is one of the most evocative experiences: between terrace tastings, spectacular views, and sparkling wines, you can truly breathe in the most authentic essence of this growing territory.

Do you love the freshness of white wines? “Tasting among the White Mulberries” in Magliano Alfieri is designed to discover Piedmontese white wines in a bucolic and relaxed setting.

In the Vineyard: Time for Veraison and Work

During this period in the winery, it’s not just time for celebration, but also for hard work among the rows.

Veraison marks the moment when the grapes begin to change color and ripen: it’s a crucial phase for the quality of the future harvest.

During this period, canopy management interventions are also carried out, such as pruning and leaf removal, which serve to ensure a perfect balance between sun, ventilation, and protection of the grape cluster.

Many winemakers, during visits, explain these activities in a simple and accessible way, allowing you to understand the daily work behind each bottle: Open Doors at the Winery for Ferragosto is a great opportunity to delve deeper into these aspects!

Can’t get away? No Problem

Even if you stay at home, you can still treat yourself to a journey through the flavors of the Langhe. All you need is a glass, some “relaxation, and the right bottle to rediscover the atmosphere of the hills”, wherever you are.

Fresh whites, light reds, sparkling wines to uncork outdoors, bold reds for a barbecue with friends. You choose! The good news? They’re all discounted.
