Ciao Italia!

TorreBarolo

Have you been to Italy?  Are you longing to go?  Are you dreaming of going?  I must say, my trip in 2007 was amazing, and I would love to go back and spend some more time there.  That said, an ex-pat named Megan owns this gorgeous property in the Piemonte region.

In an effort to draw people to the region, and to boost the exposure of her property there in beautiful Barolo country, Megan is giving away 3 nights at the house shown to the left.  This property is 17th century tower in the heart of the Langhe wine region, which would be ideal for a wine lover from all over, but particularly you European wineaux, and maybe even some of us from the US.  Robbin Gheesling I’m talking to you!

The contest is pretty simple – you are entered to win (or is that wine?) 3 nights at TorreBarolo by becoming a fan on Facebook.  All of the fan names will be put in a drawing on Feburary 1st, and the name drawn gets the getaway.

As for the region, I’m not that up on my Italian but the Piemonte is known particularly for Barolo and  Barbaresco wines.  There are also many other wines produced in the nearby Langhe valley.  Megan also mentioned that TorreBarolo is only 15 minutes away from Alba, which is known as the world capital of truffles – and I don’t mean chocolate!

There is a ton to do in the region, so if you’re interested in a free place stay, fan up TorreBarolo.  Good luck!

I wasn’t paid for this post, or given a free trip to Italy either.  I just thought it was cool!
