Albaretto in festa · Albaretto della Torre
Four evenings in the piazza run by the Pro Loco: pizza, long tables, dancing. Unpolished in the best way. Some meals need booking.

Bareback horse race
Palio di Asti · Asti
Twenty-one bareback riders around Piazza Alfieri, run since the Middle Ages. An hour away and busy; arrive early or watch the procession instead.

Street arts · circus
Mirabilia on the Road · Dogliani
Contemporary circus, dance and urban theatre in the streets of Dogliani. Mostly free, mostly outdoors, easy to dip in and out of.

Wine
Douja d'Or · Asti
Ten days of tastings spread through Asti's courtyards and palazzi, around the national wine competition. Good for a long afternoon, not a rush.

Food festival
Bra's Food Festival · Bra
Four days of food in Bra, an hour west of the house. Worth a day trip if you would rather eat your way through a town than sit still.

Truffle · food
International Alba White Truffle Fair · Alba
The 96th edition. Thirty-five minutes from the house; the market is at its best early on a Saturday, before the coaches land.
