Welcome to
Langhe-Monferrato-Roero, the Home of BuonVivere.
The best destination for most demanding experiential travellers. PIEDMONT - ITALY

Bacchus  really feels at home here.
Your clients for sure will, too.

If wine can be called the nectar of Gods, then Langhe-Monferrato-Roero are its Olympus. These lands have been committed to the vine cultivation for centuries: the peculiar climate conditions combined and the always changing clayey soil of these morainic-alluvional hills are the basis for the wealth of local crus blessed with  outstanding organoleptic characteristics.

World renowned wines such as Barolo, Barbaresco, Nebbiolo, Asti Spumante, Barbera d'Asti and Nebbiolo  have achieved international status in terms of excellence and quality -

For your clients, the best and most pleasant way to know the Langhe-Monferrato-Roero will be, for sure, with a glass of excellent wine in one’s hand.

Visiting a local cellar will be an inevitable and unforgettable experience for them. The cellar is the only place where to understand that wines are a tale of ancient peasant knowledge, passion, tenacity and ability of a producer to understand all the secrets of wines and winemaking, respecting their soul and identity.

Because wine is culture, passionate expertise and science at the same time.

 

White truffles are a tasty, well hidden miracle of the nature.
We’ll engage your clients in true treasure hunts in the woods.

Truffle is a jewel that nature denies to most and grants to few, a small miracle coming from the perfect combination of spores, roots, earth and atmospheric agents.

White is the most precious kind of truffles and the most famous white truffle in the world is that of Alba, in the heart of Langhe. The white truffle of Alba has an intense, overwhelming and still harmoniously balanced aroma: its scent is made up of 120 volatile molecules! It can transform even the simplest recipes into real culinary works of art and is the basis .

The white truffle is also incredibly rare. It cannot be cultivated and finding it is not a exactly a walk in the park. It only grows spontaneously in symbiosis with few specific plants and the signs of its presence can be recognized only by most expert “trifolao” (quarrymen) with the help of their well trained dogs, which can uniquely recognize the typical smell of truffles.  

A most involving and memorable experience for your clients can be to participate to a  truffle hunting with a real trifolao and his dog in the woods where the truffles typically grow (tartufaie): a fascinating way to know the tips and secrets (but not all!) of this ancient job and appreciate the profound relationship between the dog and its owner.

Because of specific climatic conditions, best period of the year to enjoy a full truffle experience is autumn/early winter, when white truffles spontaneously grow and are harvested.

In the same period, the famous Alba White Truffle World Market is held: there, your clients can taste, appreciate and buy certified premium truffles from the area.

In november, every year, the Alba White Truffle World Auction takes place: the most prestigious specimens of truffles are put up for auction for charity purposes: VIPs, connoisseurs and chefs from all over the world compete for batches of the this precious and rare fruit of the earth.

 

Our Art travels through millenniums.
There is no BuonVivere without Grande Bellezza.

Art experience is strictly associated with Italy and Langhe-Monferrato-Roero will fully confirm this perception: during their stay, your guest’ expectations will be totally satisfied and they will be constantly afflicted by the well-known Stendahl syndrom.

Our artistic and cultural offer spans from Romanesque, through Baroque up to Contemporary styles, with countless sites, churches, castles, galleries and museums to visit, always surrounded by the natural amphitheater of the hills.

Langhe-Monferrato-Roero might be instinctively associated with past centuries’ art but that’s a wrong perception. Your contemporary art lovers will find here adequate and tasty food for their thoughts and souls.

Open-air Art Parks are a precious uniqueness of these lands, where one can walk among masterpieces from major international artists immersed in nature.

As a trial, suggest your clients to include in their trip a visit to The Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo’s Art Park, a permanent large sculpture park on the hill of San Licerio in Guarene. Here they will find the famous Marguerite Humeau’s “Rise”, a monumental sculpture hinting a “tree of life”, with modules recreating in large scale the grapevines’ flowers. Or, also, they could have a visit at Quarelli Art Park, a private exhibition space set in the hills of Monferrato in Roccaverano, not far from Asti. It covers an area of thirty hectares inbcluding 62 artistic installations by 46 different artists.

Not to talk about the renowned David Tremlett’s circuit in Lnaghe, consisting of four chapels which have been taken to new life by his vividly coloured and geometrically shaped interiors, an unexpectedly harmonious contrast with the peaceful hilly surroundings.

Your more classically tasted clients won’t be disappointed, too. Monferrato and Langhe offer a invaluable treasure of more than 80 Romaneque sites, with chapels, churches, and abbeys spread across the provinces of Alessandria, Asti and Cuneo. While walking unhurriedly in the central, austere streets of Asti or Alba they will live a fascinating trip back to the fairy times of knights and princesses in their exquisite costumes!
