Turin Wine

Turin is the capital of Piedmont and one of the easiest places to taste the region’s wines without renting a car. Wine bars and shops often carry bottles from Langhe, Roero, Monferrato, Asti, Gavi, and other Piedmont wine areas.

The most useful grapes to know are Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, Arneis, Cortese, and Moscato Bianco. Nebbiolo is the grape behind Barolo and Barbaresco, while Barbera and Dolcetto are common red wines for everyday meals. Arneis and Cortese are useful white wines to look for in restaurants and shops.

For a broader regional overview, see our Piedmont Wine page.

Piedmont is one of Italy’s most important wine regions, especially for Nebbiolo-based reds such as Barolo and Barbaresco. The region also produces Barbera, Dolcetto, Arneis, Cortese di Gavi, Moscato d’Asti, sparkling wines, and several smaller local styles.

Wine bars in Turin are the easiest way to compare Piedmont wines by the glass. Ask which regional bottles are open, and look for Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, Arneis, Cortese, and Moscato d’Asti before moving to better-known appellation names such as Barolo and Barbaresco.

The closest wine-country outings from Turin usually lead south toward Roero, Langhe, and Monferrato. The wineries listed here are concentrated around Montà and Canale in Roero, making them easier to combine into a single self-guided day than scattered estates across Piedmont.

Embarking on a self-guided winery tour from Turin is a fantastic way to explore the region’s wine culture at your own pace. If you have time to venture into the picturesque countryside, you’ll discover charming wineries offering unique experiences and exquisite wines within an hour of Turin. Significantly, there are numerous wineries near Alba, Asti, and Barolo.

If you only have one day for a wine tour, we suggest visiting one or more of the following wineries:

• Cantina Pelassa
• Azienda Agricola Riccardo Vigna
• Poderi Vaiot Winery
• Mario Costa Winery
• Giacomo Vico Winery
• Deltetto 1953
• Bric Castelvej

If you have a driver (and you definitely should), you could leave Turin after lunch, visit three or four of these wineries, and be back in Turin in time for dinner. Of course, how long the tour takes will depend on how many wineries you visit and how long you spend at each winery.

NOTE: Some wineries in Italy require reservations for tastings and tours. We suggest you contact them ahead of time to make any necessary arrangements.

There are many great places to stay in Turin. For the best experience, we recommend staying near Centro (the castle marker on the map below). The Centro area is the most pedestrian-friendly, with many restaurants and historical shops, and the main attractions are nearby.
