The Langhe – Food & Wine Journeys
among UNESCO Hills

Food and wine journeys in the Langhe, designed for small groups, with private driver, curated experiences and boutique hotels — created for travellers who value time, depth and authenticity.

Slow-luxury itineraries among castles, vineyards, truffles and Michelin-starred dining, shaped through tailor-made journeys, authentic encounters and refined boutique hospitality.

The Langhe are not meant to be rushed.

Like a freshly poured wine, they reveal themselves sip by sip — through gentle hills, hilltop villages and vineyard rows that feel almost drawn by hand across the land.

A mosaic of landscapes that shift with the light, castles watching over the vines, and kitchens that tell centuries of rural memory and gastronomic mastery.

In spring, the Langhe reveal their most elegant expression: truffles, damp earth, Michelin tables, vertical tastings, medieval villages — and vineyards that quite literally smell of Barolo.
A journey designed for those who love to move slowly, between taste, nature and culture.

StappaMondo accompanies this discovery with carefully curated itineraries: private transfers, quiet boutique hotels, rare experiences and genuine encounters.

Two journeys, one promise — memories that stay with you long after you return.

Why travel the Langhe with StappaMondo

Travelling the Langhe with StappaMondo means entering the most intimate heart of Piedmont — not as a visitor, but as a guest: tasting Barolo and Barbaresco in historic cellars, climbing the steps of Grinzane Cavour Castle, exploring the WiMu Wine Museum in Barolo, following a truffle hunter through silent woods and listening to the stories of those who have shaped these hills for generations.

Here, a picnic among vineyards becomes a ritual, a cooking class an act of memory, a Michelin-starred dinner at Guido Ristorante* a tribute to authentic Piedmontese tradition.

The rhythm is slow luxury: a private driver always at your disposal, no rush, only experiences designed to let you truly feel the magic of these UNESCO hills.

Here, luxury is not dispayed. It is time returned to you.

Our Langhe journeys

The Langhe can be experienced in different ways.

For this reason, StappaMondo offers two distinct itineraries:
one deeper and more immersive, the other shorter and spring-focused.

Both share the same philosophy: small groups, slow rhythm, authentic experiences and meticulous attention to detail.

Small groups, certified guides, a private driver, privileged access to historic wineries and local realities: every StappaMondo journey is built on a careful selection of experiences — exclusive forest lunches, cooking classes, museums, castles, vertical tastings and boutique hotels chosen for the quality of their service, identity and atmosphere.

Those who choose StappaMondo are not looking for simple visits: they are looking for experiences that leave a lasting mark.
