Barolo Chapel

Destinations

Where modern art meets pastoral serenity

Originally built in 1914 and reborn through the artistry of Sol LeWitt and David Tremlett, this vibrant landmark offers a stunning visual contrast to the gentle hues of the Langhe landscape.

Wind your way down the hill from La Morra through the rolling vineyards, and you’ll arrive at the vibrant Barolo Chapel, originally built in 1914 as a shelter for vineyard workers. Transformed in 1999 by artists Sol LeWitt and David Tremlett, with support from the Ceretto family, the chapel is now a spectacular art installation.

LeWitt’s bold geometric designs on the exterior contrast beautifully with Tremlett’s warm, earthy interior tones, creating a stunning juxtaposition against the muted hues of the Langhe’s landscape. A favorite spot for hikers, picnickers, and photographers, this colorful landmark is a perfect blend of art and nature—and an unmissable highlight of Piedmont.

Insider Insight

For a magical experience, visit during the autumn harvest season when the vineyards are ablaze with color. For a private viewing, coordinate with the Ceretto estate for a bespoke sunrise or sunset session, when the chapel is closed to the public and the light transforms the colors into something otherworldly. Combine it with a curated tasting of Ceretto’s rare “Artist Series” wines—bottles whose labels pay homage to the chapel’s rebirth and are available only to guests who participate in the full Ceretto experience.
