Piedmont is one of the most famous wine regions in the world and a “must-do” for true wine lovers and collectors. On this luxurious Wine Tour, you can look forward to VIP wine tastings in Langhe at premium small Barolo and Barbaresco estates (as well as lesser-known boutique estates in Monferrato and Roero Gavi, and Tortona); crème de la crème restaurants (Piedmont or “Piemonte” is a gastronome’s paradise), and some spectacular scenery in the Langhe- especially if you tour in the autumn when the vineyards are at their most beautiful.
Autumn is also fabulous as it is the white truffle season and when Alba hosts the exciting international truffle fair and auction.
