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…

Look at what I am becoming under lockdown
Disappointment... ...We all feel it, especially these days: it may be missing that trip to Piemonte that you have been (or ought to have been) planning. It may be missing family (or being with family) over Easter. It may be that, now you have 5 day...
TRAVELLING WITHOUT MOVING – My Personal Wine Shopper service
Well, I have been working on a way to get producers here, who are in lockdown, connected with you out there, who are very likely in lockdown. It’s been over four weeks for the entire country here, with an extension until at least 13thApril – indeed, it feels as if we...
Life in lockdown: Part 2
Once again we have had several days of slowing in the rate of fatalities. The past two days have been under 5%, and both the number of people hospitalised and those in ICU beds has fallen for two days in a row. The measures taken are working, but people...
Life in lockdown
Given that my last post (oh dear, bad choice of words) wasn’t especially jolly – though I think I did put in at least an element of hope – I have written a more upbeat one here. It’s a couple of weeks further down the road from when I scared myself by reading...
A personal lockdown experience
This is quite a personal post, about life here under lockdown, pretty much entirely from my perspective. I started writing it when I read British newspapers about the situation in Italy, and thought that what went through my mind might go through other people’s...
Barbaresco, Barolo, Roero, Langhe & Monferrato Producers page updated…
Ciao Tutti, Hope is all well in your world, wherever and whatever that is. This is the briefest of posts to say that I have been working tirelessly for some minutes this week in order to update the Producers page on PiemonteMio. This is now done - for now, of...
