    Beautiful castle on top of the langhe hills. Beautiful views of the vineyards and the tour is quite interesting to learn about all the different wines of the region. Great wine cellar for dégustations as well

    Highly recommended! UNESCO world heritage. Spectacular view of Piedmont wine country. Eat at Michelin starred restaurant. Drink and learn all about the wines from the region at the Enoteca.

    Nice castle, the panorama that you can see from the castle's hill and from the top of it's towers is amazing. The museum inside the castle is interesting and there is a nice shop full of wines and typical foods of this region.

    Beautiful place. The view and the vineyards are great with lots of information about the wine making proces and the seasonal work that is done. The castle inside is less special but for €7 who cares, it’s beautiful.

    Grinzane Cavour castle is home to the internationally famous truffle auction sale. I took part in a wine tasting there and I have to say that it’s a very cozy place for that kind of activity. On the other side if you are looking for a good local wine for a reasonable price you’re probably in the wrong place since!

    A must-visit for anyone staying in Langhe. The castle itself is beautiful, and offers an extremely educational and informative experience for anyone who's interested in learning about the region's history, as well as past and present winemaking. We loved our visit and look forward to returning soon. We returned a few days later at night to take pictures of the castle which is lit up every night with the colors of the Italian flag, and it was beautiful to see at night.

    This is more what I expected when I visited the WiMu wine museum in nearby Barolo. Nice exhibits about the area, History and wine beautiful old castle with beautiful grounds and views. We did not eat at the restaurant but it looked lovely. And I think it may even have a Michelin star. There is a nice Enoteca at bottom of the castle and Anna who poured our tasting was very knowledgeable and helpful.

    (Translated by Google) Nice castle set on top of a hill. Splendid panorama of the Alps surrounded by the vineyards of the Langhe. Small village at the foot of the castle, convenient parking nearby. The castle is very well preserved, inside there is a wine bar, restaurant and wine shop. Worth a visit! (Original) Bel castello posto in cima ad una collina. Splendido panorama sulle Alpi circondati dai vigneti delle langhe. Piccolo borgo ai piedi del castello, parcheggi comodi nelle vicinanze. Il castello è molto ben conservato, al suo interno wine bar, ristorante e enoteca. Merita una visita!

    A castle with a great view, also a good place to get some wines, we got the barbera superiore from piazzo for a similar price as at the winery itself. The castle tour was cool to walk around and we learned to drink 2 glasses of wine each evening. The restaurant is also a good place to have a drink before you go.

    A very nice place to relax with a 360° view of the panorama of the langhe, roero e monferrato. The location is like a fairytale type, once you enter inside, its more magical.

    (Translated by Google) Seen only from the outside but it is spectacular. I found a man in charge of maintenance of the castle who told me that, probably, they will not be able to reopen on 07 02 due to construction works. It will take another 1 or 2 weeks. Call before you go. He advised us some places to go nearby that I'm stu for! Thanks to him! (Original) Visto solo dall'esterno ma è spettacolare. Ho trovato un signore addetto alla manutenzione del castello che mi ha detto che, probabilmente, non potranno riaprire il 07 02 causa lavori. Ci vorranno ancora 1 o 2 settimane.

    (Translated by Google) Wonderful castle both inside and out, with a unique panorama. The photos on the website do not do justice to the beauty of visiting this fantastic place in person. Definitely worth a visit for the structure and position of the castle, the panoramic view of the hills all around and inside the museum is very beautiful. (Original) Castello meraviglioso sia fuori che dentro, con un panorama unico. Le foto sul sito internet non rendono giustizia alla bellezza che si ha visitando di persona questo posto fantastico.
