Wine Tasting with Snacks in Neive, the Heart of Langhe
Discover the flavors of a UNESCO World Heritage wine region in a historic Piedmontese village
This wine tasting in Neive offers an authentic one-hour immersion into the viticultural tradition of the Langhe, a landscape recognized by UNESCO for its outstanding cultural and gastronomic significance. Three carefully selected wines guide you through the region's most celebrated grape varieties, paired with local snacks chosen to highlight each pour.
Neive is one of the most well-preserved medieval villages in Piedmont, and the wine bar hosting this experience sits at the center of its historic quarter. The setting itself adds a layer of authenticity that distinguishes this tasting from more commercial wine tours in the region.
