The Grape Path

The Sentiero dell'Acino (Grape Trail) traverses the wine-growing heart of the Roero region in the municipality of Castagnito, renowned for its production of fine Piedmontese wines. The trail winds through neatly arranged vineyards on the region's typical sandy hills, offering picturesque views of the Rocche del Roero and the Langhe hills in the distance. Along the way, you'll encounter ancient country chapels, historic wineries, and panoramic viewpoints that on clear days encompass the entire Alpine range. The moderate elevation gain over twenty kilometers makes the route suitable for hikers with good physical fitness. The ideal time to visit coincides with the autumn grape harvest, when the landscape is tinged with red and gold, transforming every hill into a natural masterpiece.
