If you are looking for a property abroad we can take you to visit a wide variety of old farmhouses, villas and apartments.

There
are many well-stocked and attractive local cellars. |
The owner willingly arranges visits to vineyards and wine cellars (large and small, well-known and those so far unknown) in Castangole Lanze and nearby villages including those producing the famous Moscato, Asti Spumante, Barbaresco and Barolo. Other wines produced in the area include Barbera, Dolcetto, Nebbiolo, Grignolino and Arneis. There are dozens of Wineries who welcome visitors for very pleasurable wine tastings in their Cellars. As most of the local producers only speak Italian the English owner of Casina San Rocco will happily accompany you on visits to assist with translation, if required.
The area is
also noted for its fine cuisine. There is a wonderful variety of places
to eat, ranging from the excellent typical Piemontese Trattorie to the
luxurious, but comfortable Restaurants (within a 10 mile radius there
are a number with a Michelin*). We are happy to make reservations for
you at any local restaurant for lunch or dinner.
The village of Castagnole Lanze is almost equidistant from the historical
towns of Alba, Asti and Canelli. During the course of the year all of
these towns have interesting festivals and events, one of the best known
being the Festival of the White Truffle (Tartufo Bianco) in Alba in
October. Most of the nearby villages have their own wine festivals either
in the spring or autumn. Castagnole Lanze has a Barbera Wine Festival
in May.
For anyone not interested in food or wine there are plenty of things
to do. There are many interesting castles to visit and with the surrounding
hills covered in vineyards you can appreciate the wonderful scenery
either walking or cycling. At Cascina San Rocco there are maps and details
of the many wonderful routes to follow.
