Discover Italy's most beautiful wine region 🍷 with a local + 2 day trip in Portofino

Hosted by

Serena

Guided trip
Hello everyone 😊 If you are looking for an experience that mixes fun, relax, nature, stunning beaches with good food and good wine look no further! ☀️🍷🌊 Do you like wine, green hilly vineyards, small historic colourful villages, clear blue water and good food? So do I, and I would love for you to join me in this one week itinerary. Just about 50 km south of Turin, the Langhe region is an extraordinary wine district rich in noble vineyards, gorgeous sceneries, ancient castles, and outstanding cuisine declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014.🍇🍷 September is the best season to visit as it is grape harvest time and you might even get a chance to crush some grapes with your feet. We will visit some of the most renowned villages, have guided wine tastings and visit beautiful estates to learn about wine (no need to have previous knowledge), eat local food and relax by the pool in our accommodation. I planned a day excursion in Turin, my city, which has incredible architecture and really cool vibes. Our journey will continue with a short road trip (2.30 hours)🚗 to Santa Margherita Ligure where we will stay for 2 nights, allowing us to explore Portofino, Baia di Paraggi, Baia Cannone and much more while eating lots of focaccia. ☀️🌊 ✋ About myself: My name is Serena, I am 26 years old and I grew up in Turin and its stunning surrounding area, which I am really looking forward to showing you :) I currently live in London where I work in sustainability. I speak English, Italian, Spanish and a bit of French and Russian. I like good food, wine (obviously), doing yoga, travelling, photography and cooking. I am an experienced traveller and this is my first trip organised through JoinMyTrip - very much looking forward to it. What is included in the price: 💰 - Accommodation in Airbnb in Langhe - Accommodation near Portofino - Car for entire duration of the trip - 1 winery estate visit (including wine tasting) - 1 dinner in the vineyards & tasting + grape harvest experience Costs shared on the trip: gas, grocery shopping, tolls for Portofino trip, museums in Turin, meals out. 🛏️ About the accommodation: For our first 4 nights I booked a beautiful Airbnb only a short drive away from La Morra, Barolo and Monforte d’Alba. The house has 5 double bedrooms, therefore 4 private ones and one shared bedroom if we reach full capacity. Each bedroom has a private bathroom. We will also have one big kitchen and a swimming pool. For our second stop we will be staying in an Airbnb in Santa Margherita Ligure (a few minutes drive from Portofino) to make it cheaper and to avoid crazy parking fees in Portofino. The flat comes with 3 bedrooms so hopefully by then we will all feel comfortable with each other and have no issue sharing bedrooms for 2 nights :) Expectations about the trip: I am looking to have a fun time, doing lots of visits/sightseeing but also taking the time to enjoy the places we will see, having some long relaxed meals either at home or outside and chill at the beach/pool. For detailed information about the itinerary, you can check the stops section down below 📌🗺️ I am looking for 5 open-minded trip mates to join me with only criteria open in communication. I am very excited about this trip, don't hesitate to reach out if you feel the same way or if you have any questions pop me a message. 📩 Hope to see you soon 💕🤟🏻

Trip Itinerary
1

Langhe

Day 1-5
After meeting at Turin airport or in Turin city center, we will drive to our Airbnb in Langhe (in the photos) where we will spend the first four nights. During this time, we will explore the historic villages of La Morra, Barolo, Serralunga d'Alba and more. We will discover local wines through famous wine estate visits and guided wine tastings, experience grape harvest and have a magic dinner with traditional food among the vineyards accompanied by live music. There is an opportunity to organise half day on e-bikes to explore the area avoiding the car. In our spare time we can chill by the swimming pool, go on hikes, cook some meals at home (I make a pretty mean Tiramisù) when not feeling like going out, play board games and chat. P.S. In the morning you can join me for some yoga if you'd like :)

Turin

Day 5
On Tuesday, we will leave early to go visit the city center of Turin (60 mins drive). Turin has outstanding architecture, it is surrounded by the Alps and it is full of history, chilled vibes, lots of museums, shops, clubs, parks, bars and endless typical food to try. It is quickly becoming a popular destination and Fast & Furious 10 was just shot here last month ;) I have outlined a potential itinerary that mixes a bit of everything but would love to hear from you what type of visit you'd like to have and decide together. At the end of the day we will drive back to our Airbnb in Langhe.

Portofino

Day 5-7
On Wednesday morning we will be early on the road again to reach Santa Margherita Ligure with a short road trip (2.30 h) where our next Airbnb is located, less than a 10 mins drive to Portofino. We will sleep there for two nights in order to explore the surroundings (mainly on foot and by ferry) as car parking is very limited and fees are very high in Portofino. We will relax at the beach and see Baia di Paraggi, Baia Cannone, Cervara Abbey as well as Portofino and its castle. This region has some pretty amazing typical food such as Focaccia Ligure, Trofie al pesto, farinata and much more. As we will be staying in the town center we can go out at night for gelato, a drink and music :)
