Christmas and Barolo: wine tasting and touring Italy at Christmas

If you’re looking for Christmas deals for Italy, try the Langhe region of Piedmont.
While not strictly speaking Barolo country, there’s still plenty of good nebbiolo to be had for Italian wine buffs.
Spending Christmas in Italy is a special occasion, and the Langhe offers Christmas markets in Monticello d’Alba, and nativity scenes and more markets in Montaldo Roero.

The town of Alba, famous for its truffle festival, also offers plenty of Christmas cheer, and the historic Dogliani nativity scene, with its 350 figurines, is on display on the 23rd and 24th of December.
See the Langhe Roero website for more details.
