Follow along with our current trip or explore past adventures. Our blog title is a bastardized portmanteau of our family name, Farnsworth, and Dolce Far Niente, Italian for “The sweet art of doing nothing”. So this is us getting very accomplished at wasting our time having fun.

- Blessed with a clear view of the Alps
Another gorgeous day, such a joy after cold and rain in Grenoble! Drove to the nearby hill town of Barbaresco and climbed the 5-story tower for a 360°, breathtaking view. Beautiful drive through vineyards and hazelnut, peach and cherry orchards. Parked below the hill town of Barolo and hiked up to find lunch and explore. Found a wine tasting experience we’ll have to go back and try. Found our agritourism lodging which was charming (but not really out in the countryside as we had expected), as was our hostess, Raffaella. Hung out there for the afternoon with wine and cheese then drove through the vineyards to La Morra, yet another hill town, for a slightly chilly al fresco dinner.
