If the name Barolo immediately makes you think of wine—you are correct. Add to that a picturesque medieval town nestled among vineyards and hills, and you have a highly recommended destination.

The town is located on one of the hills of the Langhe region, where wine is legendary and the wineries are happy to share their wine-making secrets. It’s worth visiting the most modern Barolo Wine Museum in Italy, located inside the Castello dei Marchesi Falletti, which is already a prominent landmark when you arrive in town.

Another recommended visit is the Corkscrew Museum, which features a vast collection of corkscrews from all over the world, including unique pieces and depictions of ancient methods for opening bottles.

No visit to the town is complete without stopping by one of the local wineries to taste the intoxicating flavor of the regional wine—there are many to choose from.

Nearby, among the vineyards, you can also visit the Cappella delle Brunate, a small and colorful chapel, unique in its kind, which in the past served as a shelter for field workers during storms.
