Asti and Tastings, Tours and Dinners in the Vineyard: what to know

The Asti area offers a wide diversity of wineries and estates within a few miles of the city. The most characteristic area is Langhe, Monferrato, and Roero, where you can taste some of Italy's most important wines, such as Barolo and Dolcetto. Slightly further north, we find Castello di Razzano, a splendid estate ideal for wine tasting and typical products.

Wineries often offer the possibility of organizing special events, such as a dinner among the rows of vines in the Monferrato, to enjoy an intimate and typical atmosphere. The price of a tasting in Asti is variable and depends mainly on the presence of a lunch, dinner or aperitif box: in fact, it ranges between €20 and €50 per person.
