1st
day - Friday
A little stroll in the town’s historical centre:
particularly interesting are St. Claire’s Church,
the Baroque façade of the Town Hall Building and
the imposing Parish Church of St. Andrew built on a design
by Bernini. Your visit may continue at PalazzoTraversa,
the last remaining real Medieval building in town, and
at the church of Santissima Trinità (Holy Trinity),
rich in frescoes. You can then take a leisurely walk along
Corso Garibaldi with its long Portico called “l’Ala”
which on market day (Friday) houses a picturesque market.Finally,
don’t miss a visit to the best historical bars in
town where you can enjoy excellent coffee and delicious
fancy cakes typical of Piedmontese tradition.
In the evening you may then have a lovely dinner at Osteria
Murivecchi, where you can enjoy the best dishes of
the typical local cuisine and drink the best wines of
the area.
 2nd
day - Saturday
After going through Serralunga d’Alba, you
can reach Bossolasco, an alta Langa town where
vineyards gradually give way to several types of cultivations
among which spectacular hazel groves stand out. Then you
get to Murazzano, the capital of the homonymous
DOP cheese. The hills in this area are less cultivated,
also because they are more difficult, but they boast unspoilt
paths running through luxuriant woods which cover the
area thus guaranteeing a true contact with nature!
Heading for the areas surrounding Mondovì and
Vicoforte, you can reach, through Ceva and
Pamparato, Valcasotto, the cheese maturing
centre belonging to Beppino Occelli's’s Agrinatura
Dairy Farm.
Here the old dairymen’s skill turns into real cheese-making
art. It is in this centre that excellent world-famous
cheeses are created. (among these the Protected Denomination
of Origin Cheese, Raschera, a real jewel). Here you can
enjoy a rich selection of typical cheeses accompanied
by a glass of good wine.
Don’t miss Vicoforte’s Strine, a downright
monument of art and faith. This imposing church is dominated
by a grandiose elliptic dome designed by architect Francesco
Gallo in the first half of the 18th century.
You can end your tour in Mondovì, whose
historical centre is the site of the famous Mondovì
Piazza neighbourhood. For dinner we advise you to get
to the ancient village of Briglia, where you can
enjoy a lovely dinner at the Trattoria Marsupino.
 3rd
day - Sunday
A few kilometres away from Bra lies lovely town of Cherasco,
famous for its history and for its gastronomic specialities
based on snails. The town’s confectionery ,chocolate
making art must then be experienced at the renown cafés
of the town centre among which the historical confectionery
shop, Barbero, stands out.
Finally, after leaving Cherasco, you can reach Fossano
for a sightseeing tour including the Acaja Princes’
Castle, an imposing 14th century terracotta brick construction
overlooking the town’s historical centre. At present
it houses the Town Library and the Town’s Historical
Archives.
