# Autumn in Piedmont – Alba, La Morra and the Langhe Hills

> The Langhe hills of Piedmont, centred on La Morra, Alba and nearby villages, hit their peak in autumn when vineyards blaze with colour, the white truffle season opens in Alba, and the grape harvest fills the air with unhurried energy. The region rewards food and wine lovers with outstanding restaurants, picturesque villages and some of Italy's most celebrated wines.
