Piedmont food and wine experiences in the Langhe.

You can visit many places on a Piedmont food and wine weekend in the Langhe, so it is essential to have clear ideas about which experiences or wines and foods to investigate. The Langa, with its small villages, wineries, and castles that fill the landscape, is considered one of the world’s most beautiful and evocative areas. It is no coincidence that it is a UNESCO heritage site.

We decided to mix food, wine, and history wisely in our Piedmont Langhe food and wine tours. These three “ingredients” represent the pillars of this so famous area of Piedmont.

Follow our suggestions on what to visit, and trust us to experience the perfect Piedmont Langhe food and wine tour.

In Langhe, even truffles depend on the moon, or they are the moon. In the Langa for truffles, one goes into the night, and in the dark, one searches for the sweet food hidden from the light.

The moon accompanies the search, and its variability in the sky indicates to the truffle hunter the appropriate time of maturation of the mushroom. It is no coincidence that in the traditional countryside, some older adults associate the truffle with the moon, seeing similarities in the shape of the star, in their concealment and their unveiling through circumstantial signs that the generous cosmology of these hills gives us at the time when the earth is preparing for its well-deserved rest. The cold stubbornly protects its late but most precious treasure.

LANGHE FOOD AND WINE ITINERARIES

If you think of the Langhe, you will surely think of the gastronomic specialties that characterize them. Indeed, excellent wines, such as Barolo and Barbaresco, are famous worldwide, but also many culinary things!

You can feel the seasons in the Langhe! Spring, with its soft colors, summer with the explosion of nature; winter, when it cloaks in white, makes the hills even sweeter, but autumn defines the beauty of the mountain with its flaming colors.

A few wet days, the mist in the morning, and many excellent products mature in this period.

Mushrooms, truffles, chestnuts, the first harvest of hazelnuts, and cheeses that, throughout the year, whet our appetites, become the protagonists of excellent dishes. And then the prized King, the White Truffle of Alba, with its less prized but still attractive declinations in all seasons.

An overview of dishes, flavors, and fragrances without forgetting the desserts, nougat, and hazelnuts in cream.

…the journey in the taste of the Langhe has already begun; get on board!
