FROM THE SOURCE
Discover food and wine in the presence of their producers: stone-ground heirloom corn for polenta, a rare local salume not encountered outside its narrow home area, and the finest summer alpine cheeses, which are at a peak in November.
AN EPICUREAN FANTASY
Immersion into the world of the white truffle – in the countryside with local hunting dogs, in the bustling Alba market as well as back rooms, and on multiple tables of the region.
A DISCOVERY OF TERROIR
Enjoy Barolo and Barbaresco wines of the Langhe as well as the less well-known but equally compelling wines of the Alto Piemonte, all in the cellars or the homes of the great family growers.
FOR THE SENSES
In Turin, view world-class collections: artifacts in the Egyptian Museum and contemporary art in the Castello di Rivoli. Relax in style at the luxurious Principe di Piemonte, at Villa Aminta on Lago Maggiore, and Castello di Guarene in the Langhe.
The Truffle is Just the Beginning…
We will eat the special dishes of the season in both charming and luxurious surroundings; we will taste and drink the finest Nebbiolo and other local wines; and we will punctuate the journey with time in the noble and intoxicating city of Turin with its museums and theaters, its bustling Porta Palazzo market, fine restaurants, and grand cafes.
