Cantine Marchesi Di Barolo tour

The tour at the Marchesi vineyard started with us parking alongside the vines that were heavy with ripe grapes and the harvest was in full swing with truckloads of grapes being loaded. The tour of the cellars was amazing ending with an exquisite lunch. The lunch set in a beautifully decorated room that evoked an era of old luxury, was an awesome experience not to be missed – each course was beautifully paired with a wine – freshly prepared carrot mousse, fresh pasta, juicy and tender lamb along with the best Barolos. All this ending with cheese and dessert – what a treat! The picture do not do justice to the actual experience.

Barolo Wine Country – stayed at the Il Boscareto Resort and Spa – a beautiful property overlooking the vineyard and the valley. In the distance was Serralunga D’ Alba with the castle at the highest point there. After refreshing drinks on the terrace we headed out to the neighboring town of Monforte to have dinner at Giardino De Fellini where the dining experience was a personalized experience with the chef recommending the dishes that he wanted us to taste.

The next night, we had an amazing dinner at the restaurant in Il Boscareto Resort and Spa - it is a Michelin star restaurant and the food was absolutely delicious. the pictures tell the story -photos are shown here.
