“I came to Piemonte to work one grape harvest. That was over 20 years ago…”
Welcome to PiemonteMio!
PiemonteMio is a site dedicated to life here in Piemonte. My Piemonte – Piemonte Mio – is all about the wine – some of the finest in the world. But as you will see, there is so much more to Piemonte than just that.
I can help you to discover the best of the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato in this jewel of north-western Italy, with architecture, cuisine, sports, scenery, design, history as great as any in the country.
Discover My 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 and 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, to Italy’s first capital city, Turin, home to some of the best museums in the country, to say nothing of the shopping…
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
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.
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…
