Farms, Relais and Wine Experiences designed for lovers of good drinking: an offer that combines culture and territory.
There are places that are not only visited, but also breathed, lived, taken with you. Relais Poderi Luigi Einaudi is one of these: a refuge immersed in the heart of the Langhe, a residence that maintains the charm of a private home from the late eighteenth century where the surrounding landscape envelops you in a dimension of quiet, elegance and authenticity for an unforgettable experience. Here time expands, every corner tells a story and the harmony between nature and territory becomes the common thread of a stay that goes beyond hospitality, promoting the bon vivre of Langa. The ten rooms , seven doubles, a junior suite and two suites, each panoramic and tastefully personalized by the Einaudi ladies, embody the charm of an enlightened past, furnished with original furniture from the historic homes of the Einaudi family. The walkway and the winter garden, the tasting and aperitif room, the outdoor pool and the flowered pergola overlooking the Alps and therefore suited to long contemplations in absolute quiet, complete the Relais’ offer. A perfect balance between comfort and refinement, in which every detail is designed to offer an authentic stay; making the stay even more special is breakfast, a ritual that celebrates the bond with the place through a selection of local and seasonal raw materials. Fresh fruit and vegetables, cheeses and dairy products from the Cuneo valleys and the province such as the renowned Toma di Murazzano, fragrant biscuits and cakes, artisanal jams, natural fruit juices and honey from local beekeeping. A journey of flavours that enhances excellence and tells the soul of a generous land. A few steps from the Relais is Dogliani , a village rich in culture, tradition and intellectual fervor (think of the now famous TV Festival, the countless exhibitions, concerts, events). Its natural amphitheater shape, influenced by the work of the famous architect Giovanni Battista Schellino, alternates panoramas, monuments and views, for a welcoming atmosphere. Dogliani, famous for its Dolcetto wine (which in 2011 took the name of Dogliani Docg), is also a crossroads of enchanting itineraries between churches and parish churches (to be explored on foot, by bicycle or on horseback), immersed in the suggestive setting of the vineyards.
Here, for wine lovers, Poderi Luigi Einaudi transforms into a sensory food and wine journey that fixes tradition, speaking the language of contemporaneity. The winery welcomes visitors all year round, even on weekends, by reservation, offering tailor-made experiences for enthusiasts and wine lovers. Tours dedicated to the different expressions of Nebbiolo, vertical tastings of Barolo vintages and tailor-made tastings, designed to satisfy every curiosity. For those who want to accompany wine with the flavors of the territory, gourmet selections are available with traditional proposals, coming from local cured meats and delicatessens. In short, enjoying the Relais Poderi Luigi Einaudi in all seasons means immersing yourself in an elegant way of traveling, more collected, relaxed, authentic and linked to the natural rhythm of the territory. The residence, adjacent to a provincial stretch and easily reachable by motorway (it is in fact just a quarter of an hour from the Carrù toll booth or the Cherasco toll booth), welcomes guests with the same warm intimacy of a lived-in home, ideal for those who want a regenerating break away from the daily hustle and bustle. *Dogliani and its surroundings, the in-depth analysis The territories that immediately surround Dogliani, for example, represent the nerve centre of the most famous Langa: Barolo, La Morra, Monforte D’Alba and the other municipalities of the Barolo and Barbaresco DOCG, a UNESCO heritage site; in a few minutes you can easily reach the nerve centres of wine, food and tourism itineraries. Not just Langa: a mirror land, nearby and located to the North, beyond the Tanaro river, Roero is another protagonist of Piedmontese viticulture and gastronomy. Less beaten than the more famous Langhe circuits, but still increasingly crucial for slow and thoughtful tourism. The Monregalese and Saluzzese, with their medieval villages and Savoy testimonies, represent ideal destinations for those seeking genuine cultural experiences; spring and autumn are the ideal times to participate in the Castelli Aperti days, visiting historic residences in Piedmont that are often closed to the public, or to immerse yourself in the changing landscapes of Monviso with guided excursions or panoramic routes. Winter, with its muffled and intimate atmosphere, offers special suggestions: Christmas markets in the villages, abbeys illuminated for night visits, moments of relaxation at the relais between a lit fireplace and a private tasting, perhaps accompanied by local specialties such as mountain cheeses, traditional sweets or honey from the valleys. Finally, Turin, reachable in just over an hour, enriches the offer with its always active cultural calendar: from the Turin Film Festival to the Biennale Democrazia, every season offers ideas for a satisfying visit. Poderi Luigi Einaudi are not only locus amoenus with a vocation for wine, but also a hub of cultural and wine tourism opportunities, with a cuisine rich in the flavors of the past and excellent products; among these, truffles and cheeses occupy a position of honor (from October to November, the Alba Truffle Fair offers the perfect opportunity to let yourself be guided by its unmistakable olfactory call), with wine as the absolute protagonist.
