Turin Royal City & Langhe Wine Country
Explore Turin on foot for the first two days, then drive through the Langhe hills to Alba, Barolo, and La Morra for the next three.
No car is needed for the first two days in Turin to visit the Royal Palace, the Egyptian Museum, and historic cafes. Pick up your rental car on the third day and head to the Langhe region. Stay in Alba, explore Barolo and La Morra, and leave plenty of time for wine-tasting lunches. Ideal for returning visitors to Italy who love fine food and wine. Wineries must be booked in advance; since the driver cannot drink, you may want to hire a local driver-guide. This route excludes the Aosta Valley. Accommodation is highly sought after during the Alba White Truffle Fair from October to November.
The autumn grape harvest and white truffle season are peak times; hotels and wineries must be booked well in advance.
