Alba, located about 60 km from Turin and overlooking the Tanaro River, is the capital of the Langhe, a spectacular hilly area recognized as a "UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE." The city offers a variety of activities, including tours to the White Truffle Fair, city tours with underground access, and winery tours with wine tasting. Bicycle enthusiasts can take advantage of rentals. An unusual recommended activity is hunting for GIANT PANCHES, found in the hills of the Langhe. Relaxing on them allows you to admire enchanting landscapes and capture unforgettable photographic memories during your vacation.

Visiting Alba offers the opportunity to stroll under the open sky among history and hidden antiquities. The town preserves many vestiges of the past, such as remains from the Roman era that can be contemplated in Alba Sotterranea; it offers places of art, period buildings, the famous "Towers" and various Cathedrals, the home of writer Beppe Fenoglio, as well as the rich and exciting civic museum.

On Saturday mornings, Alba comes alive with a market that fills the streets and squares of the town, offering the typical products of the Langhe: wine, hazelnuts, cheeses, mushrooms and truffles. The historic center, closed to traffic, creates a peaceful atmosphere ideal for relaxing walks among various stores and musical entertainment by street performers.

To date, one of Italy's international excellences in wine production is the Piedmont region, the limelight of which has particularly touched the Langhe wine area.
The Langhe is divided into "Alta Langa" and "Bassa Langa."
The "Lower Langa," which lies to the north between the Tanaro and Belbo rivers, is known worldwide for its most prestigious wines such as BAROLO and BARBARESCO, but other excellent wines such as PELAVERGA, DOLCETTO D'ALBA, DOLCETTO DI DOGLIANI, NEBBIOLO and BARBERA are produced here.
The "Alta Langa," on the other hand, lies to the south, where the hills reach higher altitudes and the slopes are decidedly steeper, we find the development of ALTA LANGA, MOSCATO and BARBERA wines and in certain areas TIMORASSO as well.
The decisive turning point came in 2014 when this territory was recognized as a UNESCO CULTURAL HERITAGE.
This consecration combined with wine and gastronomic excellence (there are as many as 15 "starred" restaurants in the Langhe) makes this a small paradise in which to spend unique and decidedly very relaxing vacations.
