What-to-do
Cheese Tastings
Cheese made in Piedmont is now competing with the best of France: goat, sheep, cow and blends thereof: from Testun and Montemagno high in the Western Alps, to the row goat milk of our best "Tuma", from Lower Monferrato and Alta Langa. A small farm i...
Cooking Classes
At Ca' Momplin you will have the opportunity to attend personal, hands-on cooking classes: not the one you are used to, where you need so many complicated tools and components you'll never attempt to make any recipe you learn on your own. Simple but original recipes, the one people make here, in Pie...
Golf
Unfortunately I do not play golf, so I am of little use in suggesting any of the many golf courses we have in our area. One thing for sure is that Green fees here are particularly attractive and, according to some of our guests who have been playing here, they are not crowded during the week.

Harvesting
Here's one way to earn a magnum of Cascina Roera's Barbera d'Asti by helping Claudio and Piero harvest some of their precious grapes. This activity is organized by camomplin for late in September (to harvest the whites) and early to middle October for the more precious red grapes. This late...
Horseback Trekking
Horses have always been my passion; since I was a little girl I was attracted by them and spent all my pocket money in horse riding wherever / whenever possible. 17 years ago, I finally managed to buy my own horse, JIM: an Argentine male who was supposed to be sold to be butchered: today he is proba...
Mushroom Hunting
At Camomplin we call it mushroom hunting, not picking, for good luck, Mushroom hunting is practiced from May till the end of October, sometimes even November, as demonstrated by the new species found here last November (2012) by me and a group of friends, that we baptized “Boletus Invernalis”. A...

Please have a look at the map of (downtown...

Trekking & Biking
in Lange/Roero
Roero must have been designed by God for the fitness aficionados: trekking, cross country running, bike riding, both mountain and road. With a twist: at the end of your sweat you can enjoy a real gourmet snack, even a lunch, at any of the numerous bars and restaurants you...
Truffle Hunting
The hunt for this delicacy starts by the middle of September to end by the end of January. Camomplin organizes hunts for a small fee. We go hunting with a trained dog and his master, the "trifulau" for a few hours .
Camomplin organizes such expedition upon request. But let's talk about the whi...
