Gourmet Hiking in Piedmont

Wine Hiking in Langhe with Barolo

Popular

Everything tastes so much better when you've been active! Rarely is this as true as on this delightful walking trip for gourmets in Italy's perhaps finest food and wine landscape. The Alps and Apennines provide a magnificent backdrop to the picturesque hills, each with a village or castle on top and a skirt of straight vineyard rows. Here in the Langhe area, some of Italy's most prestigious wines are made, Barolo, Barbaresco and Barbera, and the charming medieval town of Alba is known for white truffles, gourmet cheeses and chocolate.

This birthplace of Slow Food culture reveals its culinary and cultural treasures to those who move slowly through the landscape. Visit picturesque villages, elegant castles and taste all the good things. The hikes are easy to moderate and go through the vineyards on fine trails, donkey paths and peaceful gravel roads (strade bianche).

You stay at charming small hotels or B&Bs and you can choose between different trip lengths.

Gourmet Hiking in Piedmont

Despite enormous amounts of rain on the first day, which made the trails muddy and slippery throughout the week, the hiking days were really fun. The ascent, as well as the terrain was sometimes very challenging - more like 4 than 3, but it was beautiful and everyone we met was helpful, happy and spoke English. We also ran into a large wild boar family with piglets in the hazel forests - we were as surprised as they were.
