Benvenuti (Italian for welcome!) to the Region of Piedmont, a unique corner of Europe at the crossroads of Italy, Switzerland and France bordered to the west and north by the magnificent Alps. From October 16 - 22 2018, transform your dreams into reality as we visit one of the world’s most famous settings for wine and the Italian region renowned for white truffles.

The tour offers a mix of different cultures and traditions, wonderfully depicted in local cuisine that inspired founder Carlo Petrini to establish the Slow Food movement in 1986. The dramatic cultural landscape of vineyards, hill towns with magnificent churches, Baroque cities and the Alps present countless opportunities for photography, relaxation and restful contemplation, especially after a great meal!
