5.00Our guide Stefano was very knowledgeable. He took the two hour bus ride to explain the history of Northern Italy, geographical landscape significance and the unique properties of the wine we were about to taste. We were surprised at the slight change of itenerary as the UNESCO winery grounds were now included instead of the Barbaresco wine tasting. But the itinerary suited us just fine and we still got to taster 8 northern Italian wines, visit the UNESCO wineries with gorgeous sunset views and meet local merchants. Very enjoyable and relaxing experience with a safe driver in a comfortable small group setting.

5.00This tour was amazing! It was 10 hours of so much fun. Although the 2 hour drive to and from Milan sounds daunting, Amato made the trip go by so fast and was accommodating with stops! He offered many recommendations in Alba, and the wine tasting was top notch with an option to purchase at the end! We concluded our tour with a visit to the local castle to end a fantastic day!
Nice day in Langhe

5.00Had a great time on this trip. Chiara and Fabio were great hosts! We appreciated having free time in Alba for a nice relaxed lunch. It happened to be white truffle season so having the option to try them was a plus. The winery visit had tasty wine and amazing panoramic views of the region. Enjoyed having a small group for the tour.
A beautiful day trip from Milan

5.00We kind of thought this was a wine tour with a side trip to a castle, but it really was an amazing little day trip to see the Barolo wine country, learn some Italian history, explore Alba and taste some truffles, oh and we tastes some delicious wines! Chiara was our guide, and Fabio was our driver. they were so knowledgeable and helpful. Chiara did a great job at educating on without getting boring, and explained the products of the areas we were in. I would def recommend a tour with Abroads! what a great day and our group was just 15 ppl so it felt more personal.
Great day in wine country
