"Notturni sulla strada romantica" takes participants along the "Romantic Road" at night, in ancient hamlets’ alleys and the Langhe and Roero hills’ picturesque vineyards - a UNESCO heritage. Participants meet at 8.45pm (beginning at 9pm) usually in the main square. A torch and comfortable shoes are recommended.

During the walk - a loop, mostly-paved path that does not exceed 5-6 km, suitable for all age groups - a stop will be dedicated to a brief and engaging entertainment/performance based on the walk’s theme. Then, at the end of the walk, a nice tasting will be provided.
