Experiences in Alta Langa: The Rhythm of Slow Life
The most authentic Piedmont cannot be rushed; it must be breathed in at a slow pace. At Tenuta MonteOliveto, every activity is an invitation to slow down and reconnect with the surrounding nature, enveloped in silence and utmost privacy. We have tailored exclusive, on-request experiences for our guests, ideal for couples, families, or small groups wishing to discover the true essence of the territory.
Yoga, Meditation & Mindfulness
Regenerate Your Senses in the Silence of the Langa
Our estate is an intimate and silent refuge. While we do not host fixed daily group classes, the open spaces — from the panoramic infinity pool deck to the quiet spots among the vine rows and private woodlands — are entirely at your disposal for personal yoga practice, meditation, or restorative walks.
Looking for a dedicated retreat? For small groups of friends or corporate retreats, contact us to arrange private sessions with professional instructors and reserve the estate's areas exclusively.
E-Bike Tours Guided by the Ridges
An Effortless, Dynamic Exploration
Tenuta MonteOliveto is the ideal starting point for discovering the breathtaking panoramic views of Alta Langa. Upon reservation, we provide our guests with modern pedal-assisted e-bikes to climb the scenic ridges effortlessly.
We will personally recommend the most fascinating routes: trails that start straight from our vineyards, wind through shady woods, and reach medieval stone villages. Upon your return, a refreshing dip in our panoramic pool awaits.
The Wild Honey Path
Biodiversity & Stories in the Heart of the Woods
A fascinating brand-new experience dedicated to the untouched nature of our Estate in Vesime. In close collaboration with artisan beekeepers VDS Miele, we have welcomed beehives deep within our trees to give life to a unique narrative path.
Strolling in total relaxation among ancient oaks and wild chestnuts, you can discover the tale of the forest keepers and savor the purest essence of the territory through the limited editions of our micro-territory honey.
Wine Tasting & Private Vineyard Tour
Understanding the Region Through Soil and Glass
Leave the massive tourist crowds behind. On our estate, wine is a family matter. We will personally guide you through the vine rows, sharing our artisanal, earth-respecting approach where every single plot is tended to grape by grape, following a transparent agricultural philosophy.
The tasting comes to life either in our indoor lounge or outdoors, exploring our labels: Dolcetto d'Asti DOC, the warmest and most sincere red identity of the Piedmontese hills, alongside our fresh, mineral Chardonnay & Sauvignon DOC whites.
Each glass is thoughtfully paired with a handpicked selection of zero-km products: local artisan robiola, Langa cheeses, and traditional cured meats.
Truffle Hunting with the Trifulao
The Thrill of the Search in the Deep Forest
The world-renowned Alba White Truffle is the hidden gold of this land. Depending on the season, we arrange exclusive excursions accompanied by a local truffle hunter (Trifulao) and his masterfully trained dog.
This is no staged tourist show: you will head into real woodlands, learn to read nature's subtle signs, and experience the pure adrenaline of unearthing a fresh truffle from the Langa soil. This seasonal experience must be booked well in advance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Experiences
Are the experiences available all year round?
It depends on the activity: some are always available (wine tastings, relaxation at the estate), while others are strictly seasonal (such as truffle hunting). Get in touch with us and we will suggest the best options based on your stay period.
Do I need to book activities in advance?
Yes, we highly recommend booking well in advance. Many experiences depend on the availability of our external professional partners (e-bike guides, local truffle hunters) or have limited spots to ensure total exclusivity.
What happens in case of bad weather?
For all outdoor activities, in the event of rain or poor weather, we will evaluate alternatives together: shifting the hours or day of the booking, or converting it into an indoor experience (such as a guided private wine tasting in our indoor lounge).
Are these experiences suitable for families with children?
Many of our proposals are perfectly suited for families. Please let us know the age of your children when contacting us: we will suggest the easiest e-bike paths or the most engaging Wild Honey Path and truffle hunt activities for them.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, a morning session as the mist lifts over the hills is an experience that stays with you long after you leave. Perfect for couples, small groups or solo travellers seeking a moment of genuine reconnection.
Truffle Hunting in Piedmont
Piedmont is the world capital of the white truffle, and the woods around Vesime hide some of the most prized specimens in the region. A truffle hunt in the Alta Langa is a truly unforgettable experience — an ancient ritual that connects you to the land in a way few activities can.
Through our local partners, we can organise a private truffle hunting excursion with an experienced trifolau (truffle hunter) and his dog. The session typically lasts two to three hours through the forest, followed by a tasting of freshly found truffles.
If you are visiting in autumn, do not miss the famous Alba White Truffle Fair, just 40 minutes from the estate — the most prestigious truffle event in the world. Discover our exclusive Alba White Truffle Experience packages created for this magical season.
Wine Tasting in the Heart of the Langhe
The Langhe and Monferrato hills are among the most celebrated wine regions in the world — home to Barolo, Barbaresco, Barbera d'Asti and Moscato d'Asti. From Tenuta MonteOliveto, the finest wineries of the Langa Astigiana are just minutes away.
Start right here on the estate: we invite our guests to taste our own Dolcetto d'Asti DOC, Chardonnay DOC and Sauvignon DOC, produced from the vineyards that surround your cottage now proudly bottled under our dedicated wine label Il Calimero. Giuseppe is always happy to share the story of each wine and pair it with local cheeses and cured meats.
For deeper explorations, we connect you with trusted local wineries for private tastings among the historic cellars of Canelli — a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Just ask us and we will arrange everything.
