Asti Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Great activity. Everything was fantastic well maybe a little hot but that is out of our control

The pace was relaxed and the group very friendly. Andrea was an excellent teacher, taking time to explain the choice of ingredients, Italian culinary traditions and techniques to elevate our cookery. We made three types of pasta, all with different sauces, eating them together in a comfortable setting. An experience delivering great holiday memories for my family!

Me and my partner had an amazing trip due to Amanda. It was a whole day experience with pick up and delivery, two formal wine tastings and a nice lunch. We were also able to visit local shops and get a tour of some smaller towns. Amanda is extremely knowledgeable of the area and the different types of wine, and shared many interesting facts about the process and local area. She is very friendly, talkative and she provided us with an unforgettable experience. The driving was very comfortable and provided a stress free day of just being able to take in the landscape and scenery. Definitely recommend booking this tour, to get a whole day of wine tasting with an amazing guide. :)

Our days with Marco were a highlight of our trip to Piedmont! He is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about winemaking, and a deeply welcoming host. Starting the experience at his own fantastic winery (Cascina Galarin) set the perfect tone. To top it off, he was kind enough to seamlessly coordinate the shipping for all the wines we purchased along the way. An unforgettable experience!

We had a cooking class today at Fabiana e Andrea in making traditional piemonte agnolotti with lovely filling. It was a great experience for both me and my wife as well as our two children on 19 and 20. Very friendly and a lot of talk about local specialities etc. Now we are ready to make agnolotti when we are back in Denmark. Highly recommendable.

Andrea’s fresh pasta cooking class was absolutely amazing and went far beyond our expectations.Andrea was warm, patient, very accommodating, and made the whole experience feel personal and special. He was incredible with the kids, keeping them involved and excited, while also making sure the adults had a great time and learned a lot.The setting was beautiful, the pasta was fresh and delicious, and the entire class felt authentic, relaxed, and very well organized. Andrea clearly loves what he does, and that made the experience even better.We all left very happy and grateful. I would highly recommend this class to families, couples, or anyone looking for a real Italian cooking experience in a beautiful place. Truly one of the highlights of our trip.

Fabiana and Andrea were amazing hosts! Starting off in Asti experiencing both the outdoor and indoor markets purchasing the ingredients for our meal. Once we began cooking, they were wonderful teachers. It was such a great experience to learn from them and get to know them.

Nicola was incredibly accommodating. He took a special request and customized our tour. Nicola is well versed in wine. So if you want a higher level experience talking wine, he’s your guy. This experience could not have been any better. Highly recommend.

We had the most fabulous time in the Asti region learning to make bruschetta, pasta, and tiramisu!! You do NOT want to miss this, it was the highlight of our trip!!!!

Spectacular day filled with lovely wines, journeys to various small towns, and the most enjoyable and knowledgeable host, Giovanni. As a wine producer from his family owned vineyard, Giovanni guides you through all you need to know about the various wines of the region along with a special stop at his vineyard and family country home for the final tasting of the day. This is an experience not to be missed. Chin chin!!

It was a fantastic and unique experience that is highly recommended. Cozy atmosphere and perfect for experiencing the fantastic wines from the area and the producers. The guide was unique and told us a lot about the area, the various wines and makes the experience was tailored to our wishes.

The Royal Palace of Venaria Reale is undoubtedly one of the most impressive monumental complexes in the surroundings of Turin, capable of surprising for its grandeur and for some of the highest expressions of European Baroque that it guards. The interiors are spectacular: large, bright and scenic halls perfectly convey the idea of Savoy magnificence. Also interesting are the exhibitions dedicated to the Savoy, useful to better understand the history of the residence and its historical context. Very successful section of the stables, probably the most suggestive part of the route: here you can admire the royal Bucintoro and several historical carriages, fascinating testimonies of court life. The real strength, however, remain the gardens, well-kept and really pleasant to explore. Walking among pyramid-pruned badgers, hornbeam groups, rose and wisteria lodges makes the visit relaxing and scenic at the same time. The Garden of Fluid Sculptures by Giuseppe Penone is also beautiful, adding a very interesting contemporary touch to the experience.

Beautiful estate and really beautiful the guided tour helps to understand how quality wine is born, the tasting also makes you taste their excellent wines. It is great to see the passion that the owners put into producing one of the most famous Italian products.

We had an amazing Barolo and Barbaresco wine experience with Marco—truly a 5-star day from start to finish.Marco was fantastic: punctual, professional, friendly, and very funny. His communication before and during the tour was excellent, which made everything easy and stress-free.What really made this experience stand out is that Marco is a farmer himself. That gave us a much more authentic and personal insight into the region—far from the typical “factory winery” feel. You can tell he genuinely lives and breathes this world, and his passion really comes through.We visited two wonderful wineries and learned so much about the region, the wines, and the traditions. Everything was explained in a way that was both interesting and easy to follow.We also added the truffle hunting experience, which was a highlight and made the day even more special and unique.Overall, an incredible, authentic experience that we would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.

A wine and vineyard expert explained everything there was to know about this winery. The story from the cellar is incredible. Needless to say, we left fully satisfied and with 3 bottles.

The Palace is beautiful and rich in very interesting content. The guide was very good at presenting them, also sharing aspects that are not always available in the "official" guides. The visit lasted more than three very dense hours. Visitors were not many and so it was possible to film in complete freedom. Only note: the instructions are not very clear on how to find the guide, no one had information and the "meeting point" was not clear.
