In several sales there is a permanent museum, including rare truffle outfits of local food and wine, setting of the albese kitchen of the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, the distillery of the eighteenth century, cooper's shop, farmyard farmers. Count Camillo Benso di Cavour, one of the protagonists of the Unification of Italy, was the owner of this castle. Here he stayed between 1832 and 1849, when he was Mayor of the Municipality of Grinzane. He must also be interesting to discover in the field of viticulture. In the Castle are preserved its furniture, manuscripts and the Tricolor band of the Mayor.

Mostly about wine and truffles. If you are looking for a “castle” experience, this isn’t for you. The outside grounds and views are spectacular.

We had no idea what to expect from Grinzane Cavour Castle and when our guide took us there first, we were delighted from the start. It's an amazing castle, in a gorgeous location, and it's a fabulous introduction to Piedmontese wines and vineyards. So interesting, so educational but not overwhelming, And there are lots of English language signs and descriptions, so we got an enormous amount out of our visit.

A must-visit for anyone staying in Langhe. The castle itself is beautiful, and offers an extremely educational and informative experience for anyone who's interested in learning about the region's history, as well as past and present winemaking. We loved our visit and look forward to returning soon. We returned a few days later at night to take pictures of the castle which is lit up every night with the colors of the Italian flag, and it was beautiful to see at night.

Very nice castle and extensive museum with everything you want to know about wine. Also has a restaurant and enoteca if you’d like to try local specialities.

As soon as I set eyes on this spectacular medieval castle, I was awestruck by its magnificence; especially as was was surrounded by snow which only added to the fairytale atmosphere. I enjoyed exploring the interior museum and afterwards had a delicious meal and beer in the castle courtyard. Grinzane Cavour Castle was one of the highlights on my recent trip to Piemonte.

A stunning 11th century castle, built and expanded across the subsequent centuries, in a dominant position on the top of a hill, with a breathtaking 360° view on the surroundings, especially on the world famous vineyards of the Langhe, aligned in precise parallel lines like well combed hair, alternated with just as well kept fields cultivated with hazelnuts, another of the local essential crops of the region. Inside, the Piedmontese Regional Wine Shop, where one can find some among the finest wines of this area and, thus, of the world.

Excellent signage, easy to find. Beautiful setting. Expansive views. Modest entry price. Several floors with interesting displays and objects that are explained well in English as well as Italian. Some video. Nice little cafe we used and a fancy restaurant with a Michelin star that we did not visit. This was the best presented castle/ attraction that we visited in Piedmont. Highly recommend it ... as long as you can climb a lot of stairs.

Despite having been several times in the Langhe, we had not yet visited this wonderful castle! Beautiful outdoor area, a real open-air museum and very interesting interior where in addition to the history of Cavour, it becomes a museum of the territory and I must say that it is done really very well, I absolutely recommend it if you are in the area!

Castle visited outdoors, formerly home of Camillo Benso Count of Cavour. Very nice, well-kept both the building and the park. Spectacular view, parking very close, very comfortable climb on foot although slightly uphill. Passing in the surroundings to be reckoned with.
