Enjoy the tastes of autumn in Italy with Barolo wine and white truffle

Villa La Madonna is located in the area where one of the greatest delicacies is grown – the white truffle. The availability of white truffles varies from year to year, and the keen nose of a truffle dog is necessary to locate them. The area around us is also a well-known Barolo wine region.

Enhance your stay at Villa La Madonna and make a day trip to Barolo. Here, you can visit one of the finest vineyards and enjoy an extended lunch in one of the small charming villages. You can also visit the truffle market in Alba, which is open on Saturdays and Sundays from October 8th to November 27th. On the way back to us, stop by and visit Berta; one of the world's prestigious Grappa Distilleries located 25 minutes away by car from our vineyard. Naturally, we will help you arrange the entire trip. You can either travel by car or we will help you arrange transportation.

Another tip is to try one of Italy's premier Thermal Baths in Acqui Terme. You can swim under the ancient spa ritual in hot springs, like people have done here since the Roman times.

The combination of white truffles and Barolo wine in this package offers a perfect taste experience.
