Barolo
The core village of the Langhe wine region and the home of Barolo red wine, with the WiMu wine museum in its castle.
Barolo is at the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage site “Vineyard Landscape of Piedmont: Langhe-Roero and Monferrato.” It is famous for Barolo, the “wine of kings” made from Nebbiolo grapes. In the Falletti Castle, the WiMu Wine Museum tells the story of wine culture through interactive displays. Nearby wineries offer tastings, often by reservation. The colorful church at La Morra and a viewpoint over the rolling vineyards are also close by. Barolo is about 70 km from Turin with no convenient bus service, so driving or joining a day tour is recommended. Do not drive after tasting.
