Borgo diVino in Tour

Italian wine in the heart of the Langhe

When autumn arrives, the historic centre of Castagnole delle Lanze (Asti province, Piedmont) transforms into a vast open-air wine cellar. Borgo diVino in Tour is the travelling food and wine festival promoted by the I Borghi più belli d'Italia (Most Beautiful Villages of Italy) association and organised by Valica S.p.A. Every year, it visits some of the most picturesque villages in the country to showcase local territories through their wines. Castagnole delle Lanze, overlooking the hills between the Langhe and Monferrato, is one of the most anticipated stops on the Piedmontese tour.

A sensory journey through the village streets

For three days, the squares and alleys of the historic centre host a tasting trail with stalls dedicated to various wineries. There are over 30 wineries from all over Italy: alongside Piedmontese labels, visitors can discover producers from Tuscany, Veneto, Trentino-Alto Adige, Sicily, Abruzzo, Lazio, Basilicata, Calabria, and Puglia. With a single tasting voucher, visitors receive a wine glass and can freely choose their samples from the participating wineries, accompanied by an educational trail that tells the story of the world of wine and its traditions.

Piedmontese flavours and live music

Wine is not alone: along the route, a gourmet area offers local specialities, from Piedmontese plin pasta to hazelnut cake, and traditional rustic dishes. In the evening, the village comes alive with concerts and live music performances, while the historic houses and architecture of the centre provide a stunning backdrop. It is a perfect opportunity to discover Castagnole delle Lanze and the food and wine of the Asti hills in a festive, accessible atmosphere.

An event by the 'Most Beautiful Villages of Italy'

Borgo diVino in Tour is a national showcase for small villages and their producers. The Castagnole delle Lanze stop, which has even been presented at the Chamber of Deputies, confirms the municipality's commitment to enhancing the wine heritage and traditions of the Monferrato area, in an event that combines regional promotion, wine culture, and tourism.
