Hills and vineyards leave space to castles and historical villages: this is the landscape that the Langhe's visitors can enjoy. It is impossible to think about our area without considering our gastronomy. Various vineyards follow one another in the Langhe region: Barolo, Barbaresco, Nebbiolo and Dolcetto are amongst the most important wines produced here. Not to mention the Alba White Truffle, the production of the Tonda Gentile Hazelnut and the D.O.P. certified cheese. Many outdoor activities are also available to Nature lovers.
