Private, Tailored Wine & Food Tours
Taste my range of wines and enjoy amazing visits to artisanal wine & food producers in the most beautiful region in Italy.
If you are dreaming of that unforgettable Italian trip, PiemonteMio can turn your dream into reality…Piemonte (and, indeed PiemonteMio) has wine – among the greatest in the world – food, culture, architecture, sports, scenery, design & history to rival any in Italy. To visit the places the locals go, you need 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…

Uncle Bulgaria
Before I moved to Piedmont I had always associated Uncle Bulgaria with the Wombles of Wimbledon Common, then I met Edoardo Miroglio. In addition to his Tenuta Carretta in Alba he has built the most extraordinary winery on 1,200 hectares deep in the heart of Bulgaria....
Alessandro Veglio
After another relatively average tasting at La Morrra on Saturday I left not realising that I had missed one of the stands. Not surprising, as it was a Bank Holiday weekend and the weather was lousy and consequently it was jam-packed. Fortunately Bobtino didn't miss...
The Wagner effect- a game of two halves
Wagner has never really done it for me and I have been able to get along very well without him but in the past week he appeared, uninvited, in my life. You may already be wondering the relevance of Wagner to life in Italy and until last week I wouldn't have been able...
Autumn in Piemonte
We have always found it very easy to get sucked into excess and it seemed like a good idea to supplement the vegetable garden with free range eggs. As I have written before we bought 11 young chickens that we wrestled with every evening for a few months putting them...
A rose by any other name………Cascina Ebreo
This week we had the good fortune to be introduced by Federico Scarzello to Pete Weimer and Romy Gygax, who run the extraordinary Cascina Ebreo. While everyone in Barolo is anxious to use that aristocratic name on their bottles, Pete takes a different view. Back in...
A tip from the UK (Scarzello)
I am very fortunate that my passion for Piemonte wines is contagious and last week my son's mate Rob (aka as Poshington)went along to a tasting organised by Decanter magazine in London. Among the wines he particularly enjoyed were a couple of names that I didn't know...
