A Day in the Langhe: Barolo Village, Wine Tasting & Rooftop Lunch
Step out of Turin and into the hills behind the world's most famous wine. The Langhe are a UNESCO World Heritage landscape of vine-covered ridges, medieval villages and a slow, generous food culture. The best way to see them? From the passenger seat.
Your driver is Maurizio, the founder of Around Turin: born and raised in Turin, a genuine local, personally connected to the wineries and the people you are about to meet. He collects you at your hotel in Turin city centre, drives you through the hills and stays with you for the whole day, filling the road with anecdotes, real stories and his own passion for this land, so all you have to do is sit back, taste and enjoy the view.
STOP 1 · BAROLO VILLAGE The day opens in the village that gave its name to the King of Wines. Cobbled lanes, stone houses, small wine shops and the castle, home of the WiMu Wine Museum. The panorama over the Langhe from up here is already worth the trip.
STOP 2 · VINEYARD WALK, WINERY TOUR & BAROLO TASTING IN NOVELLO The heart of the day: Cantina Mauro Marengo, a family-run estate in Novello. Daniele or Pier walks you through the Terlo and Ravera crus, explaining the land behind every bottle, then takes you inside the winery, from grape to glass. The tasting takes place at La Risorseria, in the heart of the medieval village: 6 wines and 2 Vermouth in total, including 2 Barolo.
STOP 3 · LUNCH ON A ROOFTOP ABOVE THE VINEYARDS Lunch with the view you will remember for years: a rooftop restaurant suspended above the hills of Barolo, with a floor-to-ceiling glass wall framing the vineyards — so the panorama is there whatever the season, winter included. A premium atmosphere and a menu that tells the story of Piedmont: an antipasto, a first course and a dessert, served with an excellent local wine pairing, with a breathtaking view over the Langhe hills.

What Our Guests Say
An unforgettable day with Around Turin
My girlfriend and I had the most incredible experience exploring the beautiful Langhe region and Turin with Maurizio, and I genuinely cannot recommend him highly enough!
From the very beginning, Maurizio went above and beyond to make sure our day was absolutely perfect. He organised everything for us, including picking us up directly from our hotel and personally driving us around for the entire day.
We spent the first part of our day exploring the Langhe wine region, visiting beautiful vineyards and enjoying an amazing lunch at a vineyard Sky Bar overlooking the stunning Italian countryside. We also visited the town of Barolo, where Maurizio took us to a friend's wine shop for an incredible wine tasting experience, accompanied by delicious cheeses and antipasto. It was the perfect experience, made even more special by the people and places Maurizio introduced us to.
It was a very hot day, almost 40 degrees, but Maurizio made sure we were comfortable and kept cool throughout the entire day. It's those little things, and the genuine care he showed us, that really made the experience so memorable.
For me personally, one of the highlights of the entire trip was visiting Juventus Stadium. Being a Juventus supporter and having travelled all the way from Australia, seeing the stadium for the very first time was something incredibly special to me. Maurizio went out of his way to make the experience even more memorable, taking me to the area where the Juventus ultras meet and sharing his knowledge of the club and its culture. Having Maurizio there with me for that moment made it even more special, and it's something I'll never forget.
But what truly sets Maurizio apart is the kind of person he is. Not once did it feel like we were on a guided tour. It genuinely felt like we were spending the day with a friend or even a member of our own family. His warmth, generosity, local knowledge and genuine passion for what he does made the entire experience feel so personal.
The effort Maurizio put into making our day special was something we really appreciated. Nothing felt rushed, everything was thoughtfully organised, and he genuinely cared about making sure we had the best possible experience. You simply don't get that level of care and personal attention everywhere you go.
We came all the way from Australia hoping to experience the beauty of Italy, and thanks to Maurizio, we left with so much more than just beautiful photos and memories. We left feeling like we had made a genuine friend.
If you're visiting Turin or the Langhe region, I cannot recommend Around Turin highly enough. This was without a doubt one of the highlights of our entire trip to Italy, and an experience my girlfriend and I will cherish for the rest of our lives.
Thank you so much, Maurizio, for your kindness, generosity and for making our day so incredibly special.

Had a fantastic day exploring the Langhe before the Lazio game!
We were picked up in Turin and headed straight to Barolo, where we had a wander around the beautiful town, taking in the castle and some absolutely stunning views.
From there, we made the short drive to Novello, stopping for a drink at a brilliant little Piemontese bar before heading to a family-run winery for a tasting. We sampled a selection of local wines, learning about each one and getting some excellent food pairing recommendations directly from the producer. A really personal experience and absolutely first class.
Next up was a real treat. We headed to Sky Bar, a restaurant with rooms boasting panoramic views across the Langhe. The food, wine and setting were all outstanding. From oysters to pasta topped with freshly grated truffle, everything was exceptional. As someone who's passionate about food and drink, I can honestly say it was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had.
After lunch, we headed back into Turin to meet up with the rest of the group at Open Baladin (if you go, try the Rock 'n' Roll beer, it's superb!) before making our way to the stadium.
I honestly can't believe that after all these years of travelling to Turin to watch Juve, I'd never ventured out into the Langhe before. It's an absolutely beautiful part of the world and, if you love your food and wine, a genuine bucket-list experience.
My wife and I are already planning our return next year!
