two hours to Alba, mostly on highways. The renovated apartment in a century&#8217;s-old building where we stayed came with its own parking spot and was just off one of the main pedestrian streets.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li>When we weren\u2019t cooking our own meals, we enjoyed a few very nice restaurants. At one small out-of-the-way place recommended to us (<em>Osteria Dei Sognatori<\/em>), we arrived to find all the tables full with what seemed like loyal local customers. The owner, feeling sorry for us, said to come back the next night at a certain time. That following evening he remembered us, and served us not from a menu but with dishes they prepared from whatever was fresh and available that day over many different courses, including a complimentary glass of <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.winemag.com\/2023\/01\/03\/grappa-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Grappa<\/a><\/span> at the end. The unfamiliar dishes were a special and delicious sampling of Piemontese cuisine, and with dessert and a carafe of wine, the bill came to only 49 euros.<br \/><br \/><p>And no, we did <em>not<\/em> try the Michelin 3 star restaurant. Maybe next time??<\/p><\/li><li>Near the main piazza we toured the Beppe Fenoglio Study Center dedicated to one of Alba&#8217;s own who took part in the town&#8217;s resistance movement against the Fascists in World War II. That movement inspired Fenoglio to become a writer and to chronicle those experiences in several novels. I recall fondly the pride the English-speaking guide had in showing us the writings and photographs of that local patriot.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li>We made two side trips by car: one to the nearby town of Asti for their popular food and clothing market; another to the charming <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cascinadellerose.it\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Cascina delle Rose<\/em><\/a><\/span> winery for a tasting of their Barbaresco wines.<p>After we arrived at the winery at our appointed time, Riccardo and his father spent an hour and a half showing us the vineyards, the cellar, and providing a lengthy tasting \u2014 all for free. Being treated like VIPs after making the required appointment has been typical of all our visits to Italian wineries. And so far, all our tours and tastings have been free, with never any pressure to make a purchase, although we typically buy a bottle or two to show our appreciation. Besides, the wine is always good!<\/p><\/li><li>During an early evening walk on a pedestrian-only street, we found ourselves suddenly surrounded by a large crowd of townspeople as if a concert or movie had just let out. Only later did we realize we had taken part in our first <em>passeggiata<\/em>, the traditional pre-dinner stroll common in Italy.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li>We continue to find the Italians we meet to be very friendly, and the owner of our apartment was no exception. Because she felt sorry we had to endure several rainy days in Alba during our stay, she insisted that we not pay the full amount of the rent!<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section
