The Langhe is an area of rolling hills in the Piedmont region in northern Italy.
The landscapes are gorgeous. The countryside in the area was recently recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and its extraordinary vineyards and beautiful medieval villages are the real draw for visitors.
Let's talk about wine first, Piedmont is home to many Italian grape varieties. The "king of wines" of the region is called Barolo.
You can also taste many other types of wines from the region, such as Barbaresco, Barbera and Dolcetto and all with their particular taste and texture.
The medieval villages in the area are worth seeing, almost all of them have a municipal cellar where you can try a wide range of local wines.
And yet, another way to try them is to hike through the different paths that connect all the towns in the region, an extraordinary opportunity to savor the Langhe without having to go back.
Slow Food was born in Piedmont, more precisely in the Bra region, famous for the Cheese Festival which takes place every year at the end of September.
Aside from its long reputation as one of the best food and wine regions in the entire country, the Piedmontese capital is only 1 hour away. Turin, one of the largest and most vibrant cities in Italy, is easily accessible.
