wine tasting with winery owner in
Barbaresco
You visit a wide variety of Barolo and Barbaresco wineries, from small family run wineries to medium size producers, from traditional to modern style, from famous to not yet famous. You talk, drink and laugh with a cast of warm, very hospitable local wine men and women, all eager share their passion for their wines and stories of their lives with you.
You discover a wide range of wines: at the top level, Barolo and Barbaresco, that rank with Tuscany's Brunello, in the middle level, excellent reds like Barbera and Nebbiolo, and at every day meals, winemakers say they drink the young, fruity Dolcetto.
hazelnut and chocolate cake
You also receive warm welcomes from owners of trattorias and restaurants where you'll revel in Piedmontese specialties, accompanied by fine wines, of course.
In her restaurant just outside the town of Barbaresco, surrounded by rolling green vineyards, lively chef Ester will bring you typical local dishes like roasted pepper rolls filled with tuna and capers and topped with a tangy parsley sauce, or sliced beef simmered with herbs, vegetables and wine and topped with fresh basil sauce. If you have a sweet tooth, indulge in a semi-freddo of hazelnut torrone candy, or a devilishly chocolaty hazelnut cake with Moscato wine zabaglione.
