PROGRAM OF THE WEEKEND
 

In the early afternoon of Friday, October 18th, a CREM van will be ready to take you to Alba, the renowned truffle region.

After a three-hour journey, you’ll arrive at Casa dei Conti Mirafiori, a charming 4-star hotel nestled among vineyards. Originally a farm dating back to the 1930s, the property was beautifully renovated and reopened in 2017. The hotel offers exquisite rooms with breathtaking views of the UNESCO World Heritage Langhe hills, an on-site cellar and restaurants, and a Michelin-starred gem.
 

    

Once you've settled into your room, you'll begin with a private tour of the hotel's historic cellar, followed by an exclusive tasting of their 2018 vintage wines.

The culinary journey continues at the hotel's Michelin-starred Guidoristorante, where you'll enjoy your first dinner together. Savour exquisite dishes in a private dining room featuring an open kitchen and a view of the cellar. The restaurant's founders were pioneers in Italian cuisine, being among the first to recognize the importance of regional ingredients, which has since revolutionized cooking in the country.

  


Following a restful night's sleep and a hearty breakfast, you'll be transferred to the heart of Alba on the morning of Saturday, October 19th, to explore the renowned 94th edition of the International Alba International White Truffle Fair.

As you stroll through the fair, get ready for an exciting cooking show at 11 AM with Michelin-starred Chef Ivano Ricchebono. Following the show, you'll have the chance to taste the dish prepared by the chef, perfectly paired with a glass of fine wine.


Succeeding the workshop, embark on a free city tour before returning to the hotel and preparing for an exhilarating outdoor adventure: a guided e-bike tour through the renowned vineyards of Serralunga, La Morra, and Barolo.

As the day winds down, indulge in a gourmet dinner at La Madernassa, a 1-star Michelin restaurant in one of the most magical locations of the Roero region. Here, the cuisine celebrates the vibrant colours and flavours of the land, evoking cherished memories and emotions while offering a window to the world.

  

As a final adventure before departure, rise early on Sunday, October 20th, for a unique foray into the forest with the "Trifolau" and his loyal dog. Join them in the hunt for the most prized treasure of the Langhe: the Alba white truffle, and gain insight into the traditional harvesting techniques.

After a refreshing shower and checkout, conclude your journey with a visit to the Cascina Galarej restaurant. Enjoy a delightful meal while soaking in the sweeping 360° panoramic views of the Langhe vineyards.

  

Departure in the early afternoon by van to return to Monaco and conclude another weekend full of laughs and memories.
