Mombaruzzo

Visit the historic Moriondo Virginio workshop, keeper of the original Mombaruzzo amaretti recipe first created by Francesco Moriondo in the late 1700s. The visit shows how the soft almond macaroons are made, and those who wish can taste them paired with a glass of Moscato d'Asti DOCG. Reservation needed; visits possible in English. Via Saracco 15, Mombaruzzo.

Guided tour of the third-generation Berta grappa distillery in the Casalotto hamlet of Mombaruzzo — the alembic museum, the four ageing cellars and the secrets of steam-still distillation, closing with a tasting of three distillates or liqueurs paired with the soft amaretti of Mombaruzzo. Reservation required; morning and afternoon slots daily.

A cocktail masterclass at Distillerie Berta led by a professional bartender: learn to build three signature Berta cocktails using the distillery's spirits and liqueurs. Reservation required at least a week ahead.

A hands-on lab at Distillerie Berta where you learn the phases of distillation and create and label your own personalized bottle from the Primaneve line, after a guided visit of the distillery, cellars and museum plus a tasting. The price includes the bottle to take home; reservation mandatory.
