Wine & Food Tours
“We had an incredible day with Evan in Barolo country!…world class at every step and a ton of fun.”
Dan Styf
If you have ever dreamed of that unforgettable Italian trip, PiemonteMio can turn your dream into reality…Piemonte has wine – among the greatest on the world – food, culture, architecture, sports, scenery, design & history to rival any in Italy.
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…
I can help you to discover the best of the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato in this jewel of north-western Italy.
So what are you waiting for? Come with PiemonteMio for the experience of a lifetime…
Welcome to PiemonteMio – My Piemonte…
Discover PiemonteMio
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 glories of Italian regional larders are overwhelmingly to be found in small, family-owned producers, and Piemonte is no exception. People making authentic wines or foods deeply rooted in the area, and restaurants making traditional dishes from locally-sourced ingredients.
The wines are easily accessible, the food wonderfully seasonal and crowned with the glorious White Truffle.
I have information on how to get here, as well as where to eat, drink and sleep when you arrive.
Come with me and experience the Piemonte that the locals know…
“I came to Piemonte to work one grape harvest. That was over 20 years ago…”
Of course, 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…

Socré confirmed
The perfect antidote to a recent miserable Saturday in Piemonte was a visit to the Socré cantina in Barbaresco. The family business dates back to the late 19th century when the vineyards, located just down the hill from Tre Stelle on the road to Alba, were bought by...
A bunch of tastings part 2: Borgogno Francesco, Massolino
It never ceases to amaze me how much good wine is available on our doorstep and how difficult it can be to find Barbaresco and Barolo abroad particularly in the UK. I suppose importers and retailers focus principally on volume or price/reputation i.e sell lots at low...
A bunch of tastings part 1: Manera, Traversa
It's been a busy few weeks but we have still been able to fit in a few visits to our neighbours either because we have tasted wines we like or through introductions by friends. We have also been trying to decide on suitable wines for our daughter's wedding in August...
Satisfaction- almost
After just 9 months of to-ing and fro-ing between Neive and the Revisione Centre (MOT) in Canale to visit the girls who visit occasionally from Cuneo HQ, we at last have our Italian number plates fitted to the car. Everyone asks why we bothered, (although it is the...

Hands-on day at La Spinetta
Recently we had the good fortune to enjoy the peerless hospitality of "Team La Spinetta" for an entire day. The occasion was the second Hands-on Day created for members of their Liter (sic) Club, a great international bunch, the origins of which are clear. One bottle...
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.
