Mangialonga 2018

Have you ever been to Mangialonga?

If not, you should! I mean, a day of food, wine and beautiful landscape – who can say no to that?

I’ve mentioned Mangialonga before, but basically it’s just a walk where you stop along the way to eat and drink. You work your way through the courses and grapes: dolcetto, barbera, nebbiolo and barolo. It’s a day to have lots of fun, eat and drink until you fall asleep (preferably not during the course, although some have been known to take a nap or two).

I recommend taking the trip – I know I am going! Hopefully I’ll see some of you there. I’ll probably be at one of the stands, so if you’re there this year, please come say hello!

Mangialonga 2016

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 28th!

Check out the Mangialonga Website for more information!

Once again I am gearing up for Mangialonga! I think that I’ll be able to go this year!

Mangialonga is 4 km non competetive enogastronomic hike that takes place in La Morra. In other words, you walk around in the beautiful Langhe while eating and drinking. I don’t think it gets better than that!

Mangialonga 2013

Almost a year ago, I had the pleasure of participating in the Mangialonga.
For those of you who don’t know, Mangialonga is basically a “walkathon” where you walk about 2km, while eating and drinking. Drinking a lot!
EVERYONE is welcome (you have to buy a ticket of course), but last year dogs, and kids, and adults, and cripples and whatever else came through the Start line and the crossed the finish line a few drops of alcohol later.
At the end, there is a party, with Moscato (as much as you may desire).
