So, the town of Alba is a perfect size for strolling the streets and finding little bars to pop into for a taste of some of the great local wines from the Langhe region. I have found not all wineries are open to the public and are sometimes way off the beaten track so if you looking to stay central and not have to worry about how is driving and how is drinking then Alba is a great place to do a little wine tasting self-guided style. You never know you might even meet a few wine makers in the process they love to hang out in Alba for all the same reasons you wanna visit like the food is great.
