We will await you at Turin airport and accompany you to your hotel in Benevello. In the afternoon we will present you our Alfa Romeos and introduce you to our easy-to-follow road book. During this afternoon, a famous Barolo winery will open its gates to us. Small, winding roads on your way back to Benevello will give you an understanding about how the roads will look like during the next days: panoramic slopes atop of hills with an endless panoramic view and hardly any traffic. Back at Villa d’Amelia, there is time to relax before we transfer to Montelupo Albanese for dinner at Trattoria in Piazza.

After breakfast, choose your Alfa Romeo and head south through a quieter side of Piedmont. We reach Ceva in time for a coffee before continuing to Vicoforte, where we sit down for lunch together. The afternoon begins with something rather different: a guided ascent of the remarkable dome of the Sanctuary of Vicoforte. Back at ground level, we return to our classics for the drive via San Michele Mondovì and the Tanaro Valley to Villa d’Amelia. The evening is entirely free.

Today the road takes us east through the hills towards Canelli. There is time for lunch at leisure before we meet at Contratto, one of the historic names of Italian sparkling wine, for a guided visit to its remarkable cellars. The drive home is every bit as important as the destination. We follow the Belbo Valley and return through Barbaresco, with vineyards accompanying us for much of the way. That evening, a transfer takes us to Trattoria Il Bivio for dinner together.

Today it is the turn of Alba, the centre of hazelnut processing and probably the most expensive truffle in the world. Dating back to 6,000 BC, Alba is home to one of the largest confectionery empires in the world, Ferrero. It all began in 1946 with a small pastry shop in the town centre, where the ‘gianduja’ dessert was made from hazelnuts and cocoa. Later, it developed to Nutella, basically a gianduia form that can be spread. The ancient pastry shop has grown into the worlds’ third largest candy company, counting many more employees than its home town does count inhabitants. Alba is also known for the particularly valuable Alba truffles, which can be bought all year round in the city’s speciality shops. You will be returning to your hotel in the afternoon, bid farewell to the Alfa Romeos, and after that we will accompany to Turin airport.
