Food and wine tours in Piemonte

I have information on how to get here, and what to see and do when you arrive, so that you can experience the Piemonte that the locals know.

Food & wine are what most visitors to the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato come for, but Piemonte has much more to offer than just that: from Olympic ski and winter sports resorts, through wonderful Alpine hiking, to Italy’s first capital city, Turin – home to some of the best museums, art, architecture, and the best automotive design in the world.  To say nothing of the café culture and fashion shopping…

Wine & Food Tours

“We had an incredible day with Evan in Barolo country!…world class at every step and a ton of fun.”

Nowhere in Italy can offer as much as Piemonte when it comes to what’s on your plate and in your glass.   The wines are the most interesting in the land and the cuisine, courtesy of the Savoyard Empire, is a sublime blend of French and Italian.

The wines are easily accessible, the food wonderfully seasonal and crowned with the glorious White Truffle.

To visit the places the locals go, you need someone here; someone who lives and breathes the region: someone who will show you places others don’t know about.  Someone like me…

HOW TO GET TO THE LANGHE

So you have seen and – I hope – read about the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato.  Now you need to get here…

By Plane

There are major international airports serving Piemonte in Turin and Milan, as well as smaller ones in Cuneo and Genoa.

Nice is only a couple of hours away, and Geneva is convenient for many of the ski resorts.

By Train

To visit the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato by rail, you’ll need a train to Alba or Asti.  Alba is served from Turin, Asti from Turin, Milan and Genoa.

Turin has a new direct sevice with Trenitalia from Paris, in addition to the Paris – Turin service offered by SNCF in France.

By Road

All roads may lead to Rome, but why not take the ones via Piemonte wine country on the way…?

The Langhe, Roero and Monferrato are very well served from Turin, Milan, Genoa and Nice.
