🌺 Spring in the Langhe: A Few Lovely Ideas for Your Stay

Spring is the moment when the Langhe change rhythm: the hills turn green again, colors brighten, and the energy of the landscape can truly be felt—even just walking through the vineyards.

Between Easter and the month of May, several events take place that are perfect for building a truly “Speziale” stay. We would love to share a few suggestions to make your moments of discovery even more exciting 😊

Easter Monday in Monforte: Merendina nella Saracca

The Saracca is the medieval heart of the village: stone stairways, narrow alleys, and beautiful courtyards are waiting to be discovered.

How it works

You purchase a tasting carnet and stroll between the different food stations.
