First stop: Piedmont!
Piedmont, located at the foot of the Alps, is one of Italy's most fascinating gastronomic destinations. Home to vineyards that produce some of the world’s most renowned wines, such as Barolo and Barbaresco, and the birthplace of the prized Alba white truffle, this region offers a culinary experience that perfectly blends tradition and innovation.
A food tour in Piedmont is not just a journey of flavors but an immersion into a culinary culture deeply tied to its territory. Here, authentic flavors harmonize with stunning landscapes: the hills of Langhe, Roero, and Monferrato, UNESCO World Heritage sites, the vibrant markets of Turin, and picturesque villages where time seems to stand still.
During the tour, you’ll discover the secrets of Piedmontese cuisine, participate in wine, cheese, and traditional dessert tastings, and immerse yourself in the art of crafting iconic products like gianduiotto chocolate and Turin breadsticks. Every stop is an opportunity to explore the authenticity of a region that celebrates food as an expression of love for its land.
Prepare to be enchanted by Piedmont, where every dish tells a story, and every flavor invites you to return.
You’ll learn about the history of Italian vermouth, taste world-famous wines like Barolo, Barbaresco, Gavi, and sparkling wine in scenic, modern wineries nestled among vineyards or ancient underground cellars stretching for kilometers. Experience vineyard picnics and adventures among the vines with unconventional vehicles. Indulge in Piedmont hazelnuts to create your own spreadable cream and taste unique cheeses aged in magical caves. Participate in truffle hunting in the woods (white or black, depending on the season) with a truffle hunter and their loyal dog, reveling in every find, and use them to prepare dishes guided by Michelin-starred chefs or in charming home restaurants. Don’t miss out on honey, traditional sweets, and fine spirits aged in historic barrels.
