Our picks: Castello di Masino

The entry ticket is the straightforward choice if you want the castle and garden and nothing else. The Canavese day trip adds lunch and a wine tasting with transport from Turin, but its castle stop is either Masino or Agliè depending on the season, and castle entry is extra.
