Are you a seasoned world-traveler looking for a unique, luxurious, multi- sensory journey in Northwest Italy like no other? Get ready to venture into the historic rich culture of the Piemonte region in this exclusive 10-day tour, focused on two of the tastiest ingredients of Piemonte: chocolate and wine, of course! Explore the royal city of Torino (Turin), on the banks of the River Po, with its baroque architecture, palaces, and grand piazzas. Visit the Queen’s Vineyard, one of world’s oldest urban vineyards with its spectacular views. Dive into its delectable chocolate traditions dating back to 1560. Tour several local chocolate factories and make your own chocolate and vermouth to take home in our exclusive workshops. You will also be amazed by how wonderfully chocolate marries with wine and vermouth in our guided pairings given by an expert chocolate sommelier. In the Langhe countryside, you will delight in the harvest season landscape of the rolling hills studded with medieval small villages, renowned vineyards and pastures of hazelnut groves. Here, you will taste the finest DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) wines Italy produces including most famously, Barolo — King of Wines. Discover these distinct wines with their wine producers who will enchant you with the beauty of their cellars and vineyards. The pinnacle of this adventure will be hunting for the rare white truffle in the autumn woods outside of Alba. Sniffing out these jewels of the earth, you will arrive at bliss with their unforgettable taste sensation. This epic journey continues to northern Piemonte, at the foothills of the Swiss Alps, into the Lakes district with boat excursions to two tiny islands within the famous Lake Maggiore and Lake Orta. Each offer unique landscapes, where the tranquility of the lakes reflect the majestic Alpine peaks. Experience a surreal quiet atmosphere of the scenic Benedictine monastery on Isola di San Giulio on Lake Orta, and on Fisherman’s Island, enjoy delicious fresh fish of the lake caught by fishermen as their ancestors had for centuries. Throughout this once-in-a-lifetime privately guided experience limited to only 12-guests, you will have plenty of free time to shop and stroll through the picturesque city and villages. Stay at exclusively selected elegant and stylish luxury hotels. Delight in the classic Piemonte cuisine, the birthplace of the Slow-Food movement. Your culinary dining will demonstrate the local seasonal indulgences, including a chocolate-based menu. Of course, as well the local gastronomic pleasures, you will certainly enjoy the wines of the region.

Top quality food and wine made in Piedmont are the main ingredients of the tours proposed by Jo-In, designed to offer in-depth knowledge through activities and experiences everybody can enjoy. Taking part in one of the many Jo-In activities means to establish a direct link with the people met during the journey, their stories, and the heart of the places visited. Experience the local scents and tastes through unusual and original itineraries like hunting for truffles in the woods, or learning how to make cheese in a small, yet wonderful valley in Piedmont. Gaze at the magnificent Langhe landscapes and taste our precious wines. We organize trips which can last a few days or several weeks and are typically aimed at individuals or small groups, but we can also provide single activities; the itineraries cover some of the most intriguing areas of Piedmont and overnight stays are usually planned in unconventional venues. Everything can be changed and adjusted to suit your needs, everything but the originality and the quality of the activities offered.
