The castle is a must visit, and a very worthy stop was we drove from Alba to La Morra. Sweeping panoramic views from the castle grounds. We visited the well stocked enoteca selling local wines and regional specialties, also enjoying our first (paid) tasting of barolo. We did not visit the museum.

Great place to stop for a few minutes and look around. Great panoramic views of the area and a well stocked wine shop selling local wines and regional specialties. Be careful of the sun! The place is just like the Acropolis in Athens….not a tree in sight under a cloudless blue sky!

Beautiful grounds of this lovely castle which holds the truffle auction each year. The grounds are beautiful and the views are breathtaking! Inside there is a coffee shop with a huge window that looks out over the hills. We did not eat here, but we were very tempted as the food looked delicious.

on the old website they do not specify you’ve got to book, otherwise you’ll be forced to wait forever outside in the sun. It is unbelievable how such a big organization can lack in the basics of communication

I really like visiting UNESCO sites, and I loved the wine region...but I was quite nonplussed by this museum. Maybe I should have tried the restaurant and done some wine tasting too?

"THE" place to eat in Piedmont. Spectacular surrounding landscape, exceptional fine dining and service.

There are two main reasons to visit the castle the first is the stunning view over the area, which also explains why they chose to place the castle at this strategic point, the other is the museum which is located in the castle where you can see an exhibition of the life and work in this region in the 17th -18th century. The place is not accessible for people with walking difficulties as in the museum there are many stairs to climb

Really enjoyed the castle and especially the vistas. Beautiful castle wonderfully restored and modernized without losing its medieval feel.

If you are around and you have a couple of hours I’d recommend to stop at this lovely castle. It contains a wine museum inside and some artifacts about count Cavour and his lifestyle. It’s nothing that special to put it on a must see list but it’s quite a nice place to visit on a beautiful day. There is a store on the ground floor where you can purchase wine and some typical products from the area. In the castle is also a 1 Star Michelin restaurant. There are vineyards around and the view is very pleasing for the eye. We spent around 1-1,5h there.

Very nice place in Grinzane Cavour! This is castle of is very famous and pretty amazing with a lot of history. Is absolutely one of the best castle in the region of Piemonte and the view around deserves your visit!

The castle hosts a one star Michelin star and a well known wine shop. It is a nice and well kept building in which there is a wine museum and artifacts related to old times and to the way locals used to live. It is easily accessible and there is a good parking near by. From its courtyard is possible to see a wonderful panorama of the Langhe region.

This is like several museums in one. You start with a history of the wine industry in the Langa. There are some interesting displays, including one huge press. The next section is the history of the castle which has a prominent place in local culture. Then there is the part about the man himself. He was a wine producer, a political leader, and some would say, the savior of the wine industry. Finally, there is a section on life through the centuries in this part of Italy. There is free parking in a small lot below the castle. The audio guide is good and adds to the experience. We were surprised when we realized we had been there almost two hours.

Walk up the stone walkway to spectacular views of vineyards. Inside the castle is a gift shop with wines, and premium gifts of bottled truffle products and honeys. Restuarnat and cafeteria. Hall of Masks, look up, for 156 reproductions of coats of arms and face masks. Go back in time when the Count Camillo Benso of Cavour, one of the architects of the Unification of Italy lived here from 1832-49. Did I recall correctly approx 800 in the town? Well maintained rest rooms in the lower levels, down several flights of stairs. What great views of vineyards from inside the castle (top floor) and from the ground.

This massive quadrangular structure consists of a large keep, adjacent to an U-shaped structure. A tall and massive tower keeps company to several smaller turrets. It has had multiple owners over the centuries, including a few famous ones, such as Pietrino Falletti and Camillo Benso, Conte di Cavour, who acquired it around 1830. Each left his mark on the castle, which includes rich interior decoration and currently houses an ethnological museum, the Cavour Regional Enoteca and Marc Lanteri Al Castello, a Michelin-starred restaurant. It is listed by UNESCO on the World Heritage List,

From the hilltop vista and lawn view the vineyards (Barolo) and Hazelnut orchards--just a short drive from Alba. The castle is the venue for the annual truffle auction of international renown. Beautifully restored in the 60's and home for an important founder of modern Italy and key force in development of the wine making industry of this region. The museum is of interest to gain an understanding of history of this region and its role in the formation of modern Italy.
