Travel Agent - March 2, 2009 - (Page 16) DESTINATIONS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14 replanted using eco-friendly techniques to achieve the best result with minimal impact on the environment. Three 18-hole courses are within a 30-minute drive from the hotel. For oenophiles, Monforte d’Alba is right in the heart of the Barolo DOCG (Denomination of Origin Controlled and Guaranteed, the highest possible standards in wine production and grapes control) producing area. The area produces approximately 10 million bottles per year, 65 percent of which are exported (almost 15 percent to the U.S.). Four hundred local vineyards are open to visitors, offering tours, tastings and snacks. Prices vary between $12 and $19 per person, depending on how many wines are tasted. If guests don’t feel like leaving the hotel, they can try some selections from Relais Monforte’s own vineyard and winery. The lush hills of Piedmont are ideal for an ultra-romantic wedding, and Relais Monforte will handle every detail of the celebration from accommodations to banqueting, to hairdressing and flower arrangements. Bordering the hotel is a countryside church—Sant’Anna—that can be used for wedding ceremonies or special blessings. Relais Monforte can arrange for the bride and the groom to arrive at the church on a Vespa, a bicycle, a golf cart or with horses strolling through the vineyards on the country road. When couples book more than 15 rooms for their wedding party, the hotel gives the bride and the groom complimentary use of the main suite. The closest international airport is Turin (TRN), approximately 56 miles away. It offers a wide range of flights into major European cities. Milano Malpensa (MXP) is approximately 112 miles away. This airport also offers direct flights not only into European cities but also to the U.S., Africa and Asia. Fabrizia Manassei (booking@relaismon forte.it, 011-39-0173-215626) is in charge of reservation requests and agents can also contact Rachele Belladelli (rachele@ relaismonforte.it, 011-39-011-4474605 or 011-39-0173-215626).
