We will await you at Turin airport and accompany you to your hotel in Benevello. In the afternoon we will present you our Alfa Romeos and introduce you to our easy-to-follow road book. During this afternoon, a famous Barolo winery will open its gates to us. Small, winding roads on your way back to Benevello will give you an understanding about how the roads will look like during the next days: panoramic slopes atop of hills with an endless panoramic view and hardly any traffic. The hotel itselfs offers you the choice between bistrot-style casual and fine dining.

After breakfast, we will start the engines and cruise to the Northeast, changing wood and hill stretches with country roads leading through vineyards and small villages. During the morning, we will visit an Amaretto production. In nearby Canelli we will take you through the vaulted cellar of local sparkling vinery Contratto, a former supplier to the British and Italian Royal Family. The entire afternoon route seems like taken from a picture book, this is the Langhe heartland. The evening is at leisure.

Today, your itinerary heads south and west along beautiful country roads always within the Natural Reserve ‘Sorgenti del Belbo’ to Vicoforte. The small village is dominated by an oversized church, with the largest elliptical dome in the world. Here lie the remains of the last Italian King Vittorio Emanuele of Savoy and his wife Elena. The return journey via Murazzano is as spectacular as the outward journey. In the evening we take you to a nearby winery for a wine tasting and a farewell dinner.

Today it is the turn of Alba, the centre of hazelnut processing and probably the most expensive truffle in the world. Dating back to 6,000 BC, Alba is home to one of the largest confectionery empires in the world, Ferrero. It all began in 1946 with a small pastry shop in the town centre, where the ‘gianduja’ dessert was made from hazelnuts and cocoa. Later, it developed to Nutella, basically a gianduia form that can be spread. The ancient pastry shop has grown into the worlds’ third largest candy company, counting many more employees than its home town does count inhabitants. Alba is also known for the particularly valuable Alba truffles, which can be bought all year round in the city’s speciality shops. You will be returning to your hotel in the afternoon, bid farewell to the Alfa Romeos, and after that we will accompany to Turin airport.
