What people are saying about Alba

Ileana was wonderful, very knowledgeable and passionate about the region. The visit to a Barolo vineyard was personally tailored to our precise interests. The choice of location and restaurant for lunch was charming. The overall service, including the car, the driver, pick up at our hotel, was superb. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic day! The tour was very educational - we left with a deep appreciation for their craft. The 11 tastings - 9 wines & 2 spirits - gave us a well-rounded look into their craft. And, the snacks were the perfect (& generous compliment). Would recommend!

From beginning to end, I had a wonderful, truly authentic experience. Perfectly organized, everyone I encountered was kind and dedicated. Not only do I highly recommend it, I can't wait to do it again. A memorable day.
