Brandini

Top choice in Langhe, Roero & Monferrato


A five-minute drive below La Morra, this vineyard restaurant and cellar has five cosy, modern rooms. Each is named for a writer and graced with appropriate quotes and reading material, along with equally inspiring views of the Alps. All fittings, from paint to wood to bedding, are made from sustainable, nontoxic materials in line with their organic agricultural practices.

Cooking classes that explore the specialities of the Langhe can be organised for groups or individuals in English or Italian.
