Relais San Maurizio

For some people, the true home of Italian wines is the Piedmont region. It has more DOCGs (the highest classification of Italian wines) than any other region in Italy. Piedmont is often likened to Burgundy because of its numerous small-scale, family wineries, and their demandingly high standards. As you’ll see from our guide, some of the best wine hotels in Piedmont are around the hills of Le Langhe. This is where the majestic red tannic wines Barolo, Barbaresco and Barbera d’Asti are produced and where the Nebbiolo grape is revered. Amongst the white wines, sparkling Moscato d’Asti and Asti Spumante are the most famous. The area has an excellent choice of accommodation with hotels ranging from grand luxury stays to quaint B&Bs. Our hotel experts have scoured the area to bring you a collection of the best wine hotels in Piedmont selected on their location, amenities, service and design. Whether you are looking for a property with a standout restaurant, a spoiling spa retreat, a traditional agriturismo or a great value option — there is something for everyone here. So why not browse through our list to start planning your next wine tasting adventure?

For foodies

Castello di Villa

It has an excellent wine list and menus of locally sourced food plus it’s within striking distance of around 50 Michelin-starred restaurants.
  • Cookery lessons are just one of the treats on offer at La Villa, near Canelli — horse-riding, cycling, and truffle-hunting are some of the others — a grand country mansion with contemporary-style, creamy bedrooms. There’s an outdoor pool, atmospheric restaurant and a 200-plus wine list.

For a rural hideaway

Beautifully styled rooms feature wooden floors, private terraces, soft grey hues and floor to ceiling windows. It also boasts a spoiling spa, fine dining restaurant, and a well-stocked wine bar.

For a castle

  • Set amongst the vineyards of Verduno and Barbaresco, southwest of Alba, the 15th-century Real Castello does indeed feel like the ‘real thing’. Rooms are vast and traditional in style with highly polished floors, antique furnishings and painted wall panels. The views from the terrace are stunning plus there’s a chance to take cookery lessons in the hotel’s kitchens.
  • Set amongst the same vineyards, a little to the southeast, Castello di Sinio has a more contemporary take on its furnishings. Rustic-chic rooms are bright and colourful, often with white-painted exposed stone walls or beams. The dining room extends into the herb-filled garden.

For great value
