Trekking with alpacas in the Langhe hills and picnic

We are undecided which is the highlight of this experience. The alpaca walk or the home-cooked picnic?

We're sending you on a mission to find out: take part in our 1-hour walk with alpacas through the wine-growing landscape of the Langhe, in the company of a guide and his fluffy animals.

On your return to the estate, you can spend more time with the other inhabitants of the farm and conclude the experience by enjoying a picnic with local products!

What we will do

The appointment is 30 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Lequio Tanaro (CN), in a characteristic 18th century estate. We will be welcomed by the guide who will accompany us on this soft adventure!

Once all participants have gathered, a 30-minuteintroduction to the world of alpacas will take place, during which we will get to know our sweet companions better.

This is when our alpaca walk will begin: we will venture into the woods adjacent to the estate, along a gently sloping hillside path with a panoramic view of the Langhe UNESCO World Heritage Site. After walking about 3 km, we will return to the estate where the other animals that live there will be waiting for us: the guide will introduce us to horses, goats and the characteristic black Piedmontese pigs.

We will then be given a picnic basket (included) that we can eat on the estate or in the nearby natural setting. The menu includes salami and lard from Piedmontese black pigs reared on the family farm, omelette with herbs, anchovies and butter, bread, water and a bottle of natural wine for every 2 people (can be replaced with beer or fruit juice per person).

The alpaca walk will last 1 hour. The total experience will last approx. 3 hours, but we will be able to stay as long as we wish, as if we were at home!
