La Morra: Discover Wine, Trails and Culture

Wine Landscape and Local Character

La Morra is part of the UNESCO-listed vineyard landscapes of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato. This provides a clear thematic framework for planning your trip: wine, regional cuisine, paths through the countryside and cultural sites can be explored in varying proportions. This leaves room both for enjoyable days and for outdoor activities and sightseeing.

Wine Tastings and Piedmontese Cuisine

In the historic centre of La Morra, the Poderi Marcarini Wine Shop is dedicated to tasting and purchasing the wines produced by the winery. Poderi Marcarini also offers private tours of the historic cellars followed by personalised wine tastings. At Azienda Agricola Gian Piero Marrone, guided tastings of several wines are held in the cellar. These can be combined with Piedmontese specialities prepared in the cellar, including Barolo.

Azienda Agricola Gian Piero Marrone also offers cooking classes in its kitchen with the chef Paolo. This gives regional cuisine its own practical dimension alongside the tastings, making it particularly suitable for travellers who want not only to sample culinary traditions but also to learn how they are prepared.

Hiking Trails and Routes through the Vineyards

La Morra has seven hiking trails that can be explored on foot or by mountain bike. Stage 6 of the Bar to Bar route follows a high trail through the vineyards of Sarmassa and Cerequio before ascending to La Morra. The CHERASCO IN MTB route between Cherasco and La Morra can likewise be completed on foot or by mountain bike. Your planning options therefore include both trails within La Morra and routes extending across the region.

Castles, Museums and Cultural Sites

In the immediate vicinity of La Morra are Castello Falletti di Barolo, a castle; Museo dei Cavatappi di Barolo, a museum; and Strada del Barolo e grandi vini di Langa, also a museum. Castello Visconteo di Cherasco, a castle, is also located in the area around La Morra. Monastero di San Martino di Marcenasco in Annunziata near La Morra is associated with use as a museum and multipurpose hall, as well as with new cultural and social uses. Cappella del Barolo is closed due to works until autumn 2026.

Gardens and the Regional Surroundings

In the wider region around La Morra are Giardini del Belvedere, a garden complex, and Parco Cascina Vigna, a park. Arco Trionfale, a natural arch, is also located in this wider region. Area Verde Giovanni Falcone Paolo Borsellino, a garden complex, is located in the area around La Morra. When choosing a hotel in La Morra, you can therefore clearly define the focus of your trip: wine tastings and cooking classes, hiking trails and mountain-bike routes, or cultural sites and gardens.
