Serafina Guide
Immerse yourself in the still wonderfully traditional way of living in Piedmont. Our favorite places to visit in the area of Dogliani.
Aperitivo Barolo Bar in Monforte d'Alba
Unlike the name would suggest, there is much more here than barolo. So you do not have to dig so deep into your pockets, as there are many great wines and local foods to be enjoyed here. As well as live music from time to time. It is located in the centre of Monforte d’Alba.

Caffè Agripanetteria di Stefano Musso
Words and Photo by Anna Pearson* Have you ever heard of an “agripanetteria”? I never had until recently, but then I figured it out: “Agricoltura” (agriculture) + “Panetteria” (bakery) = “Agripanetteria” = a bakery that processes home-grown grain! Et voilà, in Dogliani there is someone who does just that: Stefano Musso grows ancient grains which he uses to bake very good focacce, breads, grissini etc. This is the small, self-built shop of Stefano Musso’s “Agripanetteria”.

Osteria dei Binelli
Food of which you can be sure that the ingredients haven’t made a trip around the world. What is it that makes Piedmont so irresistible? Why do the flavours in a down-to-earth “locanda” remain so vivid in our memories? To find answers, we set out on a quest to the Osteria dei Binelli near Dogliani in the province of Cuneo.

There is no place in the world where such excellent (and numerous) Hazelnuts could grow, except for the Langhe. The world of the Nocciole can be explored nowhere else in an as authentic and well-tasting way as at the Cascina Barroero, in Cortemilia. Words and Photos by Jürgen Schmücking*

Restaurants Vinoteca Centro Storico
A pearl of Italian hospitality can be found in the historical city center of the small village, Serralunga d’Alba. The Vinoteca Centro Storico is a culinary sanctuary for wine connoisseurs and gourmands. Here, the small guest room is bulging with excellent wines and delicious specialties from the region. You’ll find prosciutto, culatello and all different kinds of salamis hanging from the ceiling.
