Round trip through Piedmont
Your journey to Italy’s paradise of pleasure could look like this:
First of all, you will explore the still unknown and touristically little developed Altopiemonte in the surroundings of Lago’Orta, Gattinara, Biella, Ivrea with the fantastic mountain valleys of the High Alps in the background. Nebbiolo wine originated here in Altopiemonte and there are interesting wineries to visit.
The tour continues to the original Monferrato, famous for Barbera d’Asti, and finally to the “heart” of Piedmont in the surroundings of Alba. Let yourself be enchanted by the sight of the seemingly endless Barolo vineyards, the hills, the small villages with their castles.
In the Barolo or Barbaresco area you will taste the famous wines of the region in a winery. During the trip you will visit an organic hazelnut producer who produces delicacies around the hazelnut. A historic spumante winery should also not be missing from the programme.
Depending on the duration of the trip, we suggest authentic programmes and make sure that there is enough free time.
The trip is individually designed according to your wishes and in our offer you get several domiciles in your desired category to choose from.
Winetour
Travel example: Piemont Pur Wine Tour
You love wine and would like to acquire a basic knowledge or deepen your wine knowledge? The wine lists in the restaurants in Piedmont are very extensive and even as a wine connoisseur you are quickly overwhelmed to make the right choice! And simply ordering the house wine is not the best decision in the land of good wines.
During our wine adventure tour you will get to know the different growing areas around the Nebbiolo: The Barolo – and the Barbaresco area. First, we will visit a winery in each area, with extensive tasting.
The wine seminar with our sommelier takes place in a winery in the Barolo area and lasts about 4-5 hours. After the cellar tour, you will receive extensive technical information about the wines of Piedmont, the different vineyards and growing areas of Barolo, Barbaresco and Roero. Playfully and with a lot of fun you will then learn the basic technique of tasting and experience that not only the palate but also the nose plays a major role. Afterwards, there will be extensive tasting and sampling! There are traditional wines such as Arneis, Barbera and Nebbiolo, Barolo, Barbaresco and Moscato accompanied by a delicious selection of Piedmontese specialities.
Which wine goes with which food – which combination complements each other perfectly? An exciting and playful wine seminar that will leave you wanting more!
Do you know the champagne of Piedmont? Here it is called Alta Langa! The noble grape juice ferments in the bottle for about 36 months – then it is ready to enjoy. You will visit Italy’s oldest Spumante winery, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site – a unique experience!
But you can’t just enjoy wine – you can also paint with it. During the trip you will visit an artist in Barolo – who will teach you the technique during a small painting course. This is also a lot of fun.
The trip is individually designed according to your wishes and in our offer you get several domiciles in your desired category to choose from.
Truffle tour: Around the noble Alba truffle
Truffles & Wine: Welcome to Piedmont, a paradise of pleasure!
Why do truffles smell so strong, under what conditions do they grow, how do you prepare them and how do they taste best? Why most truffle dogs are female, you will learn all this and much more during our truffle tour in Piedmont. Truffle hunting is possible almost all year round.
Go truffle hunting with us, our truffle hunter and his dog and experience how the noble tubers are found. Afterwards, we will prepare a delicious menu during the truffle cooking course so that you can enjoy the truffles you have found and dug out yourself right away. For dessert, of course, there will be homemade the delicious chocolate truffles!
In spring and summer, Piedmont is a little more tranquil than in autumn, when the white truffles are found. But the black “summer truffles” are certainly not to be sneezed at either! The landscape is also a dream in summer: the vineyards are lush green and you can watch the farmers working the noble vines.
In autumn, the white truffles attract gourmets from all over the world to Alba. The wonderful colouring of the leaves in the vineyards and the beautiful panoramic views as far as the Alps are unforgettable. From the beginning of October until the end of November, the truffle fair takes place in Alba every Saturday and Sunday.
But in winter, Piedmont is a real insider tip, because that’s when the truffles are really good! Everything is much more tranquil than in the turbulent autumn months, so you can really “slow down” in the land of slow food and enjoy a good meal and wine or spumante at the end of the year.
Of course, a visit to a family-run winery followed by a tasting is not to be missed! Barolo, Barbaresco, Nebbiolo & Co round off the truffle enjoyment!
The trip is individually designed according to your wishes and in our offer you get several domiciles in your desired category to choose from.
Cooking & Wine Tour in the Heart of Piedmont
Cooking and tasting the variety of Piedmontese wines – Welcome to the pleasure paradise and SLOWFOOD country of Piedmont!
“Take….” with this sentence begins the instructions for an activity that only promises pleasure and enjoyment when the ambience is right. Cooking has long since ceased to be the preserve of housewives.
Discover the magic of cooking, which always begins with shopping: first we go to Cuneo to the street food market, here you will be guided through the market in German and experience the Piedmont authentically and culinary. Nowhere else can you learn more about the country and its people than at the market: traditions, history, culinary specialities… Let yourself be caught up in the lively atmosphere and of course there are plenty of delicacies to taste. This is how you get in the mood before you learn the basics of traditional Piedmontese cuisine during the cooking course on another day. You will prepare a typical menu (2 starters, various pastas, main course with meat and 2 desserts). Along the way, you will also learn all kinds of useful tips and tricks, some of which have been handed down for generations. At the subsequent lunch or dinner, you will enjoy your cooking skills with wines from the region.
At the end of the tour, you will visit a family-run winery in the middle of the vineyards, which have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There you will taste the wonderful wines of Piedmont.
The trip is individually designed according to your wishes and in our offer you get several domiciles in your desired category to choose from.
