First stop was Ceretto Winery for a late breakfast/brunch/lunch (ok, wine). We had stopped there yesterday, but they were already closed. Oh my, what a beautiful place. High on a hill, outside of Alba. Fairly new facilities, built next to a very old winery. See photos below ...
This was the view from the winery -
This was a new room they built out over the vineyard -

And then our tasting -
Then we set off to Nesso, where we will be staying for a week. We are staying in a wonderful apartment/villa right on the lake. It is owned by our neighbor in St. Louis. We stayed here almost six years ago and couldn't wait to come back. However, we both had forgotten how narrow the roads were driving up to the town and how narrow AND steep the driveway was. WOW! Lots of oohs and aahs and f@#ks on the way!
Here are some shots from out on the balcony -
Yes, I even made dinner, after a quick stop at the market -
And I'm pretty sure this water skier is George Clooney, looking for me - his villa is right across the lake!
Location:Nesso, Lake Como
