I have been to Mauro Veglio’s winery many times, both for visits and for a coffee break. But I went back again for a visit this time because my brother had never been for an official winery tour and tasting. It’s always a pleasure to spend time with Daniela, and Mauro of course (although it’s…
#tbt to the time I celebrated my birthday in La Morra
Are you going?! I am! Every year in La Morra there is a wine event called Mangialonga. You basically drink and eat along a path and it ends with a big party in the town square of La Morra. Definately worth a try if you are in the area! This year Mangialonga is Sunday August…

With the trip fast approaching, many plans have fallen into place. This time I would like to try a few new things as well as revisiting my favorite spots and my favorite people. Here are some of my stops this trip. More e Macine This osteria has become a staple during my trips, usually with…
If you are staying in the Barolo area, More e Macine is a must! The restaurant is located in La Morra, along the “main road” (if there is such a thing in La Morra…) Do not be fooled by the rather “simple” look, the food is great, wine list superb and staff incredible! Ito, the…
