Things to Do

Things to Do in Castiglione Falletto
  • Castello di Castiglione Falletto dominates the village skyline with its cylindrical tower and medieval stone walls. Built in the 11th century and later restored, the castle is privately owned but visible from the surrounding streets and vineyards. It stands at the highest point of the village and offers panoramic views of the Langhe hills.
  • Historic Village Centre consists of narrow lanes, stone houses, and small courtyards clustered around the castle. The layout reflects the village’s medieval origins, and many of the buildings have been carefully restored. Wine shops, local producers, and small restaurants are tucked into historic structures throughout the centre.
  • Parish Church of San Lorenzo is located near the castle and was rebuilt in the 18th century on the site of an earlier church. The interior includes stucco decoration, religious paintings, and a carved altar. The church is active and forms part of the village’s religious and cultural life.
  • Panoramic Terraces and Viewpoints are located on the edges of the village, offering wide views over vineyards, hilltop villages, and the Alpine chain in the distance. These spots are accessible on foot and are often marked with orientation panels. They are especially popular during grape harvest season in early autumn.
  • Barolo Wine Cellars and Tasting Rooms are located in and around the village, with many offering tastings of Barolo, Nebbiolo, and other DOCG wines. Some estates are open for guided tours that include vineyard walks and visits to underground cellars. Advance booking is recommended, especially in high season.
