The Piedmont region proudly offers a unique cuisine which combines farmer’s traditions with an aristocratic touch.

Truffle salami and truffle cheese prepare our mouth for a risotto served with freshly shaved black truffles and a glass of wine. Then a choice of traditional “antipasti” or egg pasta. For the bravest ones, the unparalleled beef tartare of Piedmont will be available for tasting with a glass of wine. End with a tasting of hazelnut and chocolate delicacies from a selected pastry shop with the best coffee in town. In summer, a gelato is everyone’s favorite.

The four of us booked this tour with Meet Piemonte. They sent us the addresses of the two wineries which we would have never found on our own and a list of things to see in the area. Gorgeous cellars, both owners where so personable and treated us like family. Lunch was a starter, ravioli and dessert, not a huge meal but enough to carry on until dinner and great pairing with the wines of the first winery. We had some time in between wineries so we went to one of the big benches they recommend us and we took photos and enjoy some sunshine. This region is stunning and we will come back.
