Meet Piemonte, Nizza Monferrato

This tour exceeded our expectations! We had a wonderful time. Our guide Giovanni is very knowledgeable about the wine business since he is a winemaker himself. He’s also very personable and fun to be with. We started the tour by visiting "Fratelli Ravello", a winery near La Morra in the Barolo region. Elena Fratelli, who works in the winery with her parents and brother, showed us the property and directed us on a very nice tasting of their most iconic wines. Then Giovanni recommended a very nice restaurant in the area, where we had the local specialties. We loved the Plin, a pasta dish of small ravioli. Next, we visited "La Ganghija", the winery owned by Enzo Rapalino in the Barbaresco area. Enzo's family had owned vineyards for many years, but he is the first one that decided to make wine. He is also introducing some innovations in the process. It was nice to hear about his passion for making a top product. The last stop was "Cascina Galarin", the winery owned by Giovanni and his family. They specialize in Barbera D'Asti. What a treat it was to have a taste of those fabulous wines! This tour was a wonderful experience that we will remember for many years to come. We wholeheartedly recommend it!

Alessandra was an amazing guide! She was very informative and a pleasure to keep company with. The wine tour was delightful and the truffle hunters were amazing ! It was so fun to watch the dogs “play” and learning about the training process and relationships of the dogs with their people. A heartwarming and interesting experience. I already had an appreciation for truffles, this experience makes enjoying truffles even more special.
