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…

Lord Kitchener got 18 of the 19 letters correct. Close, but no cigar. What he really meant to say was: Our Country Needs You! It’s become much warmer over the last 2 weeks. I'm seeing a lot more 'summertime reds' around Alba as visitors from more northerly climes...

…My Arse
Now, does anyone remember the European Super League? Come on, you must remember! Those were heady days, weren’t they? Both of them. Pub Trivia Night question coming up: does anyone know who scored the first goal in the European Super League? ...
Spring Fever
Well, Easter has come and gone and we’re in mid-April. Spring, damaging frosts at the start of the month notwithstanding, is here. And that means growth in the vineyards – but not only for the vines. Around the time of budding, we also get the arrival of...
East-er West?
Right, I haven’t done a blog post at all this year – what is there to say…? January and February, I was at home looking after Noah every other week, looking for importers for my wine and someone to give me some guidance with my writing. Other than that,...
