About Alba
Alba is the capital of the Langhe hills, a town where white truffles are auctioned each autumn and where Nebbiolo grapes become Barolo and Barbaresco in the surrounding villages. Food and wine here are not an add-on to sightseeing — they are the reason to come, and the best experiences put you directly in the cellar or at the family table. Compare a small-group Abellonio Cascina Piccaluga: Vineyard Visit & Wine Tasting Cellar Tour with a hands-on Langhe Cooking Class at a Local's Home Near Alba, and you have the two poles of an Alba food-and-wine trip: the vineyard and the kitchen.

Frequently asked questions
In Alba the producers are usually the hosts. You taste Barolo and Barbaresco with the winemaker or owner in the cellar where the wine was made, and food experiences happen in family homes or country houses rather than restaurants.
