Barolo

Barolo is a small village with peach- and ochre-washed houses set among extensive vineyards. A steady stream of wealthy gastronomes and wine connoisseurs come here for the Enoteca Regionale del Barolo (wenotecadelbarolo.it) and the WiMu Wine Museum (wwimubarolo.it) housed in a turreted castle on Piazza Falletti 1, while for a more quirky take on the wine industry, there’s the original Museo dei Cavatappi (wmuseodeicavatappi.it, or Corkscrew Museum, at Piazza Castello 4.
