Evocative and panoramic!
An excursion through the Barolo hills, where the scent of grapes meets the magic of late summer.
The territory
The end of summer gives the Barolo hills a warm, almost golden light and a magical atmosphere: rows heavy with clusters ready for harvest, the buzz of the harvest in the air, and historic villages overlooking the landscape from a privileged position.
On Sunday, September 6, we will immerse ourselves in this postcard-perfect scenery.
Our route will wind along panoramic paths connecting ancient castles, medieval lookouts, and endless stretches of UNESCO heritage vineyards, offering breathtaking views at every turn.
It will be a unique opportunity to experience the Langhe at their peak of splendor, when nature celebrates its generosity and the land tells stories of tradition and passion.
Lunch
To crown this special day, we will stop at an authentic local winery for a special lunch directly overlooking the vineyards.
Between a glass of fine wine and the typical flavors of the land, we will share the pleasure of good food and walking together, wrapped in the quiet and colors of early autumn.
An experience that combines nature, history, and conviviality, designed to regenerate the spirit and fill your eyes with beauty before summer definitively gives way.
