Don’t forget your wine travel case if you are visiting Piedmont for the Annual Alba White Truffle Fair.

You have probably noticed that we’ve been talking a lot about Piedmont - and specifically the winemaking areas of the Langhe and Roero in the past month. That’s because it is the area’s high tourist season with the annual Alba White Truffle Fair.

 

The Alba White Truffle Fair takes place each weekend from October 10 to November 15.

Located in Alba’s centro storico (historic center), the fair offers visitors an opportunity to explore the fabled Alba White Truffle as well as other typical products of the region –especially the wine.

If you are headed to the Langhe and Roero during this season, here is a list of places to buy your wine travel case to get these amazing wines home.
