We will start our day in the historical center of Neive, a small medieval hilltop town. One of the towns of the Barbaresco wine area and one of Italy’s top 5 most beautiful hilltop villages. We will sit down in a caffè with a warm beverage of your choice and will go over the area with the local maps to give a better idea of the regions, the grapes, the winemaking process, and what we will be tasting throughout the day. From there we will take a beautiful drive through the the hilly roadways that are covered in vines that brings us to our first winery stop, where we will see the wine making process, talk about some family history, and a taste of some of the family’s most precious wines. After we will stop in a medieval village for lunch at a small local spot, before heading to our second winery visit. We will then after, head back to our meeting point where you will be free to enjoy an aperitivo or dinner after the tour. The start time is at 9.30 and the end time is at 17.00

We had the time of our lives! We can't name one single detail overlooked. Amanda has a gift - she's casual and laid back yet she has eyes that see what's needed and ways to make it happen when needed. And, or course, Amanda is a master of the language barrier - intuitively helping the dialog move along between all parties, all the time.
Elenora is a foodie, Alex set up the picnic in the vineyard, and Alicia can somehow get you to complete a beautiful walk. Good team! Bravo to all!
We stayed in top-notch places and had great food. Our wine tastings were personal and private. We just couldn't imagine a better deal. 5-star. Do it again!

Amanda’s Wine Adventures arranged two wonderful days for us in Barolo and Barbaresco. Eleanora and Andrea were excellent guides and both have a wealth of knowledge of the Piedmont region and wines. We also had a blast going on a truffle hunt during our Barbaresco day and found black and white truffles!

Amanda’s wine tours was an amazing experience and a highlight of our two weeks in Italy. Amanda did a great job setting up our two days of wine tasting and lunch. The wineries were all great and places I would have never found on my own, and the lunches were delicious. Additionally, our two tour guides were so knowledgeable, personable and skillful in translating it just really elevated the whole experience. I would 100% recommend this tour!

Our visit to three wineries in the Piedmont region was fantastic. Eleonora was personable, knowledgeable, and fun. It was just the three of us so we were able to have intimate discussions with the wine makers. We especially enjoyed visiting two wineries run by women. It was nice to see such barriers broken in a very old school industry. The wines were delicious, as was the lunch Eli treated us too. We highly recommend this organization's tours!

Such a great experience with Amanda and her colleague Andrea.
Our first day was well planned and effortless, as we went to two wineries in Barbaresco and Barolo and tasted wines.
Andrea drove us and gave us a lot of local info about the area and he is quite passionate about food and wine. Great dude, and we felt like we were hanging out with a friend.
Our second day, Amanda set us up with a self-guided tour that began with truffle hunting and concluded with a grappa tour and tasting. All the people we met were wonderful and it was a great way to experience the Piemonte region.
They also helped us ship back our wine and even picked up a few extra bottles we left for them at the hotel to include in the shipment. We made a great move by hiring them.

Amanda was great in communication in setting up a custom tour with one of her associates Eleonora who met us and gave us the tour. We did a Truffle hunt with a wine tour of Barolo and Barbaresco. Eleonora was new to the job but gave great insights on food and wine of the region. She was also helpful in getting wine shipped back to the USA. Amanda and her Team were a pleasure to deal with. Cheers!

My husband and I traveled to northern Italy for our anniversary in May and the tour with Amanda was most certainly one of the biggest highlights of our trip! Amanda is friendly, knowledgeable, and more than willing to tailor the experience to your wants and preferences. We visited 2 very different but both wonderful wineries with a stop for lunch in between. Amanda was able to tell us so much, not only about wine and wine making in the Piemonte, but about the region itself and it’s history. I would highly recommend booking a tour with Amanda! Don’t forget to buy some of the wine she and her husband make as well!

Planning a wine trip to Piemonte was a bit daunting, because it is less "touristy" than Tuscany or Napa. However, Amanda made it easy. She provided a list of options to customize the tour. We chose two days with two wineries a day. In hindsight, I wish we had done one less winery and chose a different activity she could organize such as a cooking class or hazelnut farm or cheesemonger visit, but you live and learn.
Amanda arranged all the winery visits and lunch reservations, and emailed us the itinerary a few weeks beforehand. Our guides/drivers for the day were great, the wineries were each unique and different, and the lunches were excellent. We loved that the wineries were family owned and loved hearing their stories. Amanda can also arrange to have any wine purchases shipped to your home.

A fantastic day out in Barberesco wine country. Visited a couple of great wineries, met some colorful characters and lunched at a farm that ages small-batch cheeses. Elenora was a wonderful and personable guide that was very attentive to our little 5-year old boy. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

It was our first visit to the Piedmont region of Italy. We couldn’t be happier with our time spent with Amanda! The winery visits, lunch at an amazing small restaurant and Amanda’s knowledge of wine and region made our visit perfect. Thank you Amanda for making our trip memorable! We will be back!
