TOUR
with the Ape
Calessino

Perhaps you have seen it in seaside towns, more likely in the South of Italy. We at Tour in Vespa, on the other hand, thought it could be a truly original proposal. So, here it is: the Ape Calessino. Someone called it “the Vespa with three wheels”, but we like to see it as it is: nice, cute and above all suitable for visiting the Langhe!

The tour that we propose crosses the most important places of the Langa of Barolo.

We start from Pollenzo and, just past Tanaro, we climb towards La Morra with its panoramic terrace and an incredible view of the vineyards. Then we visit Barolo where everything talks about the Wine of the Kings and the King of Wines. In these vineyards the farmers began to produce it more than two centuries ago for the local nobles. The Barolo wine is a type of wine that has changed over time, however, retaining some typical characteristics that make it very valuable.

In Barolo we stop at the Wine Museum and visit the Castle of the Marquises of Barolo. Then all again on the Ape to descend towards the Castle of Grinzane Cavour passing through the great “Cru” of Barolo, the vineyards from which the most renowned bottles are produced. With the Ape Calessino you can also climb to Serralunga d’Alba or to Monforte, small villages of Langa, rich in history and local tradition on wine and food.
