Private Wine Tour from Turin

From the capital of Piedmont to its most famous wine region

Turin has always been closely connected to the Langhe.

For centuries, it was the capital of the House of Savoy, the royal family that played an important role in the history of Piedmont. While Turin became known for its elegant architecture, cafés and royal residences, the surrounding countryside developed a completely different identity — one built around vineyards, farming and an extraordinary food and wine culture.

Today, these two sides of Piedmont complement each other perfectly.

After spending time exploring Turin, many visitors choose to experience the region beyond the city. Just about an hour away, the landscape changes completely. Vineyards replace historic buildings, small villages overlook rolling hills, and life follows a noticeably slower rhythm.

I think that's one of the reasons a wine tour from Turin feels like such a natural addition to your trip.

Which wine region should you visit?

If you're staying in Turin, the Langhe is usually my first recommendation.

It's close enough to enjoy a relaxed full day while giving you access to some of Italy's most celebrated wines, including Barolo and Barbaresco.

If you're looking for something a little different, we can also explore Roero, known for its sandy soils, elegant Roero Arneis and expressive Nebbiolo, or design a day that combines more than one wine region.

Every itinerary is private and built around your interests.

Some guests enjoy visiting historic wineries.

Others prefer smaller family estates.

Some are passionate about Barolo, while others would like to discover a wider selection of Piedmontese wines.

That's exactly how I design every wine tour.

Getting to the Langhe from Turin

Reaching the Langhe from Turin is easy, and I'll help you choose the option that works best for your trip.

If you're traveling by car, we can simply meet at our first winery.

If you'd rather not drive, I can arrange private transportation directly from your hotel, allowing you to relax and fully enjoy the wine tastings.

There's also a direct train between Turin and Alba. If that's the option you prefer, I'll be happy to meet you at Alba railway station before we begin our day together.

To make the most of your visit, I usually recommend starting around 10:00 AM in the Langhe. That gives us plenty of time to visit one or two wineries, enjoy a leisurely lunch and explore one of the region's beautiful villages before returning to Turin in the early evening.

How would you like to spend your day?

One of the advantages of a private tour is that the day can be built entirely around your interests.

If wine is your main focus, I usually recommend visiting two carefully selected wineries, enjoying a leisurely lunch with panoramic views and taking time to explore one of the beautiful villages of the Langhe, such as Barolo, La Morra or Neive.

If you'd like to experience more than wine, there are wonderful ways to combine different traditions of the region.

One of my favorite itineraries starts with a private truffle hunt in the morning, followed by a visit to a local winery and a relaxed lunch featuring seasonal Piedmontese cuisine.

Another wonderful addition to your day is a visit to a local producer of Nocciola Piemonte IGP. Widely regarded as one of the world's finest hazelnut varieties, it has played an important role in Piedmont's culinary heritage and is the signature ingredient of the iconic Gianduiotto — the chocolate that was born in Turin.

There isn't one perfect itinerary.

The best day is simply the one that's created around your interests.
