INQUIRE NOW

An Immersive Journey Through Italy’s Magical North

Dive into the soul of Piedmont, where iconic Barolos, Barbarescos, and more await. This journey unfolds from shimmering Alpine lakes to the regal streets of Turin and the dramatic peaks of the Valle d’Aosta. Along the way, you’ll share moments in intimate cellars, around family tables, and within landscapes that have inspired Neal Rosenthal for more than four decades. Piedmont was one of the first regions he imported from … its magic left an indelible mark on him, and we look forward to it casting the same spell on you.

PIEDMONT’S TIMELESS PLEASURES

Lakeside Elegance
Begin on Lake Maggiore with a private boat ride to the Isola dei Pescatori before settling into the lakeside Laqua Resort. Dine at Villa Crespi, one of Italy’s most acclaimed Michelin-starred restaurants.

Historic Vineyards
Visit the Rovellotti family in Ghemme, explore their medieval “ricetto,” and taste the region’s most celebrated wines.

Urban Allure
Stay in the heart of Turin at the Hotel Principi di Piemonte. Enjoy private tours of the Egyptian Museum, stroll through the city’s grand boulevards, and dine at some of the city’s most inventive tables.

Mountain Majesty
Travel north to Carema to visit the Ferrando family—Rosenthal’s very first grower partner. Then continue into the Valle d’Aosta to stay beneath Mont Blanc at the intimate Auberge de La Maison. Ride the Skyway cable car to breathtaking alpine heights.

Winemakers & Warmth
Share meals with the Pavese family in Morgex, known for their rare “Blanc de Morgex et de La Salle,” and with the Grosjean family, pioneers of biodynamic winemaking in the Aosta Valley.

Rest & Renewal
Balance vineyard visits and alpine hikes with restorative afternoons in Courmayeur, thermal baths at Pré-Saint-Didier, and evenings of convivial mountain cuisine at Café Quinson and Maison de Filippo.
