5.00What a great day! Stefano is a lifelong Milan local and so friendly, engaging, and full of information. His technique for initiating group conversation made it fun from the very beginning. Alba, during the truffle season! Wow! Great wine tour, lovely visit to the castle. And he sent us all his tips on what to do in Milan. He's obviously passionate about his tour. I highly recommend this one!
Small means big on details and attention.

Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the region’s winemaking traditions, making the day both educational and enjoyable. The interaction between the guide and our group was fantastic — friendly, engaging, and full of great energy. Visiting the local vineyards and cellars gave us a true taste of Barolo’s heritage.

5.00Everything was done on time. Lunch was nice in Alba. The wine tasting was such a delight. Simone, son of the operation of Montaribaldi was energetic and fun and really helped us understand the wine regions and designations. He made the tasting a lot of fun. The day was foggy and a slight rain but the sun came out for a few minutes so we could get some good shots. Our guide Monica was smart and it was apparent she knew what she was doing and our driver was always on time. A good way to spend a day.
A perfect Day Trip from Milan

5.00What an amazing experience! The tour was a perfect combination of activities and everything felt very local & authentic. We started in Alba, which was such a cute, vibrant town and was amazing to be able to experience during their annual Truffle Festival (October- beginning of December). We stopped in a local shop where we got to taste some of the town’s specialties such as truffle infused cheese, meats and hazelnuts! The lunch recommended by our guide Naji was also excellent, and she made sure to secure us reservations if we wanted (it was a Michelin restaurant). Our next stop, the winery, was a family run winery with amazing Barolos, Nebbiolos and Barbaras which we had ample tastings of. The owner was kind and did a great job taking us through the regional grapes and types of wines. Last we stopped at Castello Di Grinzane Cavour, this had the most breathtaking views of the Barolo region and was amazing to be able to see. Last but not least, our guide Naji, and our driver Fabio, were wonderful, knowledgeable & so kind. I cannot recommend this tour enough to anyone who is visiting Milan, the places we visited were so special and thoughtfully curated for the perfect day outside of the city.
