Trekking in the Barolo area

Posted on: September 3rd, 2013 by Mario Ferrero

Friday, September 27th and Friday, October 4th walking tour through the Barolo vineyards accompanied by an expert wine guide.

Vigne La Morra

A walking tour through the vineyards accompanied by an expert wine guide ended with a glass of wine and some appetizers! What a better way to breathe the atmosphere of the Langhe wine district and follow the rhythm of nature of this land. During the tour the guide will talk about the history of Barolo wine and its very close link to Italy’s history.
Stop over during the excursion at the chapel owned by the Ceretto winery, Madonna delle Grazie. Also known as the Barolo Chapel it is a small chapel built in 1914 but never consecrated. People who worked in the surrounding vineyards used it during hails, but nowadays it has been refurbished in a very eccentric way, by the English artist David Tremlett and the American Sol LeWitt.

The tour starts in front of the Belvedere (The Panoramic point of view) of La Morra (CN) at 4,30 p.m. and lasts 1,5 hours. At the end of the tour final tasting with finger food in a wine bar in La Morra.
The cost is 20 euros per person, wine tasting with appetizers included.
