However, the area's gastronomic culture is massive, which is why Langhe is your destination if you are a food and wine lover. <b>A Langhe food and wine weekend<\/b> is what you should be planning. Two days full of typical products, such as the famous <b>white Alba truffle.<\/b> The dishes, as well as cheeses, are still prepared following tradition. Among all the sweet specialties that you can taste on your <b>food and wine weekend in Langhe<\/b>, you can always trace the inevitable chocolate. Not to mention the great red wines \u2013 first of all Barolo and Barbaresco \u2013 to be savoured in the most renowned wineries of the area.\n<h2>What to see in Langhe in two days<\/h2>\nIf you wonder \"<b>what to see in Langhe in two days<\/b>\", you should know that there are many attractions and villages to visit. A must see for a <b>food and wine weekend<\/b> is definitely Alba, made famous by the <b>truffle festival<\/b>. For this reason, we recommend that you visit it in October or November, so that you can enjoy the festive atmosphere even more. It is a family-friendly town, with large pedestrian squares where you can admire the stately palaces and churches \u2013 among which we recommend the Cathedral of St. Lawrence with its magnificent colours. <b>What else to see in Langhe in two days<\/b>? Surely Grinzane Cavour with its castle that was the home of the famous Count. The <b>world white truffle auction<\/b> takes place here every November. Finally, there is the village that gives its name to one of the best-known wines in the area: Barolo. Here too, you will find a magnificent castle, the Falletti castle, home to the museum of wine and the regional wine shop. For the more curious ones, the corkscrew museum, located a short distance away, is worth a stop.\n<h2>Let us think wider towards our food and wine weekend in Piedmont<\/h2>\nIf Langhe is not enough and you are ready to go for a <b>food and wine weekend in Piedmont<\/b>, here is a rundown of the typical dishes. As for pasta courses, \u201cAgnolotti del Monferrato\u201d or \u201cdel plin\u201d, is simply the most famous one; wonderful handmade ravioli stuffed with a mix of different stews and a hint of vegetables. Among main courses, let us give credit to Barolo braised beef (a stew of Fassone meat cooked for a long time in wine) and to our mixed fried platter in Piedmont style, a dish of poor origins, initially thought to avoid wasting less noble parts of the animals. Eventually, you cannot stand back from tasting Bagna Cauda during your <b>food and wine weekend<\/b>. Bagna Cauda is a simple dish made of a fairly strong sauce created with garlic, anchovies and extra virgin olive oil, in which we dip cooked and raw vegetables.<br><br>\nContact Diwine Tours and plan your fab <b>food and wine weekend<\/b> in Piedmont.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-button--style-outline-container vce-button--style-outline-container--align-left\"><span class=\"vce-button--style-outline-wrapper vce\" id=\"el-99246976\" data-vce-do-apply=\"margin el-99246976\"><a class=\"vce-button--style-outline-animated vce-button--style-outline--border-square vce-button--style-outline--size-medium vce-button--style-outline-animated--color-b-33-33-33--fff--3d3d3d vce-button--style-outline-animated--border-color-b-33-33-33--3d3d3d vce-button--style-outline-animated--background-color-b-144-3-81\" href=\"https:\/\/www.diwinetour.com\/en\/contacts\/\" title=\"\" data-vce-do-apply=\"padding border background  el-99246976\"><span class=\"vce-button--style-outline-text\">REQUEST INFO<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-col vce-col--md-auto vce-col--xs-1 vce-col--xs-last vce-col--xs-first vce-col--sm-last vce-col--sm-first vce-col--md-last vce-col--lg-last vce-col--xl-last\" id=\"el-2997e161\"><div class=\"vce-col-inner\" data-vce-do-apply=\"border margin background  el-2997e161\"><div class=\"vce-col-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\" data-vce-do-apply=\"padding el-2997e161\"><div class=\"vce-single-image-container vce-single-image--align-left\"><div class=\"vce vce-single-image-wrapper\" id=\"el-3543c21a\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-3543c21a\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.diwinetour.com\/en\/why-choose-piedmont-for-a-food-and-wine-weekend\/\" title=\"\" class=\"vce-single-image-inner vce-single-image--absolute\" style=\"padding-bottom: 66.625%; width: 800px;\"><img class=\"vce-single-image\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"src=\"https:\/\/www.diwinetour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/week-end-enogastronico-nelle-langhe-800x533.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.diwinetour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/week-end-enogastronico-nelle-langhe-320x213.jpg 320w,https:\/\/www.diwinetour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/week-end-enogastronico-nelle-langhe-480x320.jpg 480w,https:\/\/www.diwinetour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/week-end-enogastronico-nelle-langhe-800x533.jpg 800w,https:\/\/www.diwinetour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/week-end-enogastronico-nelle-langhe-800x533.jpg 800w\" data-img-src=\"https:\/\/www.diwinetour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/week-end-enogastronico-nelle-langhe.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"week-end-enogastronico-nelle-langhe\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Langhe in 2 days Why choose Piedmont for a food and wine weekend?
