Six seminars to share the great wines of the Langhe, Roero and Dogliani regions

The territories of Langhe and Roero return to tell their story through wine with a new cycle of high-level seminars dedicated to the most passionate wine lovers. From April to June 2026, a series of six tasting and educational sessions will begin, designed to offer tourists and enthusiasts an authentic and engaging experience of discovery of the region’s great appellations.

The seminar series aims to offer a new way of approaching the wines of the area: meetings lasting about an hour and a half, scheduled on Saturday afternoons, where tasting and storytelling intertwine. The format features a dialogue between a local speaker and an external guest, selected from among wine journalists, communicators, or educators, in order to create an accessible, dynamic narrative rich in insights.

The goal is to offer not only a tasting, but a true moment of discussion and storytelling: stories of territories, soils, vintages, and production styles, accompanied by the tasting of wines and the direct contribution of the producers involved.

The calendar includes six events between April and June 2026, hosted in some of the symbolic venues of wine culture in Langhe and Roero.
