Wine Tasting Tour

Enjoy a unique and phenomenal experience by combining relaxing hikes in the vineyards and

tasting plentiful of local wine appellations

GO TO PROGRAM and PRICES for WINE TASTING TOUR

The Northern part of Piedmont Region, increasingly known as Alto Piemonte, is the cradle of a wine making tradition that dates back as far as the Roman times.
In this lands at the foothills of the Alps the most noble grape varietal of all has found its perfect home: that is NEBBIOLO.

Ghemme, Gattinara, Fara, Sizzano, Boca, Colline Novaresi, Coste della Sesia, Bramaterra, Lessona and Valli Ossolane are all Nebbiolo and indigenuos grape varietals-based appellations that cover the four provinces of Biella, Vercelli, Novara and Verbano-Cusio-Ossola. More than eighty between craft wine producers and family-run estates testify the amazing quality of what can still be considered an off-the-beaten-path wine production.

There is a plethora of hidden gems with labels that range from youthful to aged wines with a bias to seduce you and take you into a mind-blowing and mesmerizing experience.

Whether you feel like giving your legs a break after a full on skiing session or simply fancy looking at your holiday from a different perspective, a Wine Tour with us can make your day as exhilarating and inspiring as you never thought it could be.
Wine Tours caters to guests who have booked a minimum one week in the same ski resort and include a variety of daily programs that typically include a hike in the vineyard followed by a wine and local food tasting.
Upon request we can offer bespoke plans including lunch in the best local restaurants and taverns.

Detailed Program and Prices

We offer you a full day discovering the area with our guides and mountain leader expert in wine. We start at morning in the centre of Gattinara, medieval village, then we move inside the hills hiking through the vineyard, just before midday, after 1.30 hour walking, we reach the first Cantine. Here we do the tour of wine cellar and then wine tasting. After this we have two possibilities:
A In the first afternoon we leave the farm and we continue to explore the area, we visit the beautiful castle and then we will go back to the centre of the village and visit the second farm.
B In the first afternoon we reach the car and we move to Lessona, the other village close to Gattinara; from there we explore the area of vineyard from a different point of view, after 1.30 hour walking we reach the second farm.

    We had the most epic time with Alagna Ski Guides! They took our goals and priorities for the trip into consideration and created the perfect, custom trip to travel and ski throughout the Alps. We were able to find some incredibly challenging terrain, but felt supported and safe with our guides at all times. We fully intend to book with Paolo and Alagna Ski Guides the next time we return to Europe to ski…. Italy or elsewhere! 110% recommended!

    We have just come back from 5 days of guided off-piste skiing in Monte Rosa area. Despite poor snow conditions, our guide Paolo Paglino from Alagna Ski Guides did an outstanding job in finding good snow and taking us to the most beautiful areas of this part of Alps. Paolo was constantly evaluating weather and snow conditions in these 3 valleys to find the best place for skiing. We have been skiing with a number of alpine guides before, but the experience with Paolo was fantastic. Thank you, Paolo, for a great week and I am sure we will come back to ski with you again in the future.

    Nous avons exploré cette magnifique région durant 4 jours en compagnie de Giuseppe, guide expérimenté, patient, à l'écoute de ses clients, respectueux, sensible et de surcroît très intéressant car très cultivé. Nous avons appris avec lui plein de choses intéressantes sur la région.Nous le recommandons sans réserve, et reviendrons à Alagna pour continuer d'explorer les multiples possibilités de randonnées en sa compagnie. Merci Giuseppe!!!

    From the day I started skiing I wanted to ski off piste, For about 10 years now my friends & I have been doing that with Powder Paolo and Alagna Ski Guides in Alagna, other parts of Italy, Austria & France. Paolo's commitment is first rate. He finds safe snow, has taken our group right to the edge of our comfort zone; exhibits endless patience, a great sense of humour and even occasionally stops for lunch (much more so as we get older!). I've been to the places I dreamed to ski, deserted valleys, glaciers and forests all with stunning scenery, sometimes needing a bit of a climb up or a roped descent down, pumping adrenaline and all adding to the adventure! Ciao Paolo, Grazie Mille, !

    We have just had another outstanding week ski touring with Paulo. As ever, he selected a varied and interesting collection of routes making good use of the conditions and with his usual consideration for the needs and wishes of our group. Alagna ski guides are friendly and professional. Paulo always mixed well with the group and adds to the social part of a trip in addition to keeping us safe and happy. John Patrick

    We have skied with Paolo for several years. This year a couple of days in the Monterosa was followed by a week in the Queyras. Despite the relative lack of snow in this part of France, Paolo found us routes for six excellent days of touring. We explored the local valley but also travelled a little further afield. As always, the routes were well chosen for the group enabling everyone to have a great time. Thanks Paolo!
