Private Custom Italy Tours in Piedmont

Explore quiet roads linking hilltop towns in an area that received the UNESCO protection offered only to an elite group of cultural and natural sites, here the “vineyard landscape of Piedmont: Langhe-Roero and Monferrato” in recognition its natural beauty as well as distinguished wine tradition. Your well-earned reward after a day of discovery - watching your waiter shaving a prized white truffle over your plate of bright yellow egg-yolk based pasta as you sip on a glass of Barolo wine. This is a region Kathy and Vernon highly recommend for both cyclists and walkers looking for the very best food and wine.
