A fantastic journey in the most interesting areas of Piedmont, the Italian Region that is emerging as the new and alternative destination for its landscapes, cultural, religious and aristocratic heritage and gastronomy, often considered the main contributor to Italian cuisine.
The Langhe are famous for the White Alba Truffle, with one of the most important gastronomic events in the world (International Alba’s White Truffle Fair) and for its wines: Barolo and Barbaresco are the most renowned, but Piedmont is the Italian region with the highest number of DOCG wines: 17. Not only wines and truffles, but also DOP cheeses (still largely from small handicraft producers) the IGP Piedmontese hazelnuts (which made the Nutella brand famous around the world in the last century), Grappa and more.
The vineyards of Monferrato, Langhe and Roero – all territories that we will see in our trip – were included in 2014 within the UNESCO Heritage List. After visiting the Langhe we will reach Turin. The main city of the Region was a Roman town, the first capital of Italy in the 19th century and for a long time the headquarters of the Royal Savoy family and their residences.
Turin is a unique city, rich in history and charm, home to many UNESCO sites. It is characterized by its self-evident noble and aristocratic identity which came to shape during its most prosperous era. Piedmont’s capital stands out for it elegance and sophistication, it is constantly transforming and renewing its artistic and cultural scenes, and its urban setting. Full of museums and monuments, home to international events, and continuous gourmet activity, Turin has found its place amongst the list of the most interesting Italian destinations for both mainstream and alternative trips, it has something for everyone!
The last stop of the trip will be the north of Piedmont, the district of the Lakes, the famous Lake Maggiore and Lake Orta. Two small jewels set in the Alpine mountains that divide Italy from Switzerland. The Lake Maggiore and the Lake Orta offer unique landscapes where the tranquility of the lake reflects the majestic mountains in the surrounding area. We will make you live the quiet atmosphere of the tiny islands on the lake, where fishermen still work as their ancestors.
