5.00Oleg is an amazing guide, making this Langhe wine tour a most awesome one that gave us insightful information about Langhe wine region, plus additional information about Italy in general along the tour, which we greatly appreciated, and the visit to the castle, Alba town and Montaribaldi winery is memorable!
Authentic wine tasting tour close to Milano

5.00Well planned, authentic norther Italian wine tour while visiting a beautiful town known by its Michelin star restaurants, ending in wine yard with scenic views and sunset, tasting one of the best Barolo and Barbares wines. The tour took a full day, allowing to fully emerge into the Italian local culture, food and wine. We were a small, very international group moving around with Mercedes van. Totally worth the price!
Best of Langhe with Oleg

5.00Oleg’s tour was the most cost efficient and fuss free methods to explore Langhe and the Barolo wine region from Milan. The tour was small and personal - he shared a lot during the ride and we had the opportunity of spending time in the beautiful town Alba, feasting on hyperlocal cuisine, and spending a generous amount of time in a local Barolo vineyard to taste the best of Langhe. It’s a tour I would highly recommend to anyone looking for both wine tasting and sightseeing.
Wonderful wine tour

4.00Our tour guide Chiara was very nice and professional. It’s a small group tour so the whole journey was smooth and friendly. We tried a few barbaresco and two barolo wine, at a beautiful vineyard in the Bararesco area. Would like to visit Barolo next time when we come to piedmont again. We didn’t join the truffle product tasting but went to the Alba Truffle fair instead which was amazing.
Would recommend this tour

5.00The wine tour was a very good experience. Oleg was very knowledgeable about the piedmont area and informed us about everything. We also got picked up very close to our accomodation and dropped off close to it as well. We had a very good time on this tour and would recommend it to anyone who is interested. You will see some very interesting historic sites and some amazing winery.
Great place to get to worth your visit in Milano

5.00Chiara was really amazing on our tour, if I am honest I am not used of this types of experience and I took the risk and paid the price, let me say is TOTALLY worth it, from the Alba tour, the truffle tasting and the incredible place she booked us to have lunch (always as a recommendation and not as a mandatory tricky thing) I felt the experience was totally worth it. Then we had to keep on going to the main tasting on the winery and even the personal there was so nice (I meant it, my dad ask for an extra glass tasting on almost every wine and he got it 😋). From a solo traveler on a low budget I highly recommend this as an investment to get to know italy more than a big city as Milano is.
Piedmont area visit

5.00Amazing visit to Alba (at the height of truffle season) and a vineyard in the Piedmont region with Chiara. Great guide, good food, good wine and amazing sights in a beautiful part of the country.

4.00Great experience, Ciara was lovely! Beautiful places on the tour, lovely food and wine! Only thing to stop 5 stars is that tour guide (Stefano) contacted us two days before hand to say it might he cancelled, which would have given us little timw to arrange a plan B. Fortunately tour wasnt concelled but the uncertainity did guve us a a bad view on the organisation of the tour. Content of the tour when it happened was great though!
