Piedmont

Piedmont

A luxury Italian vacation in the home of fine cuisine and wine

Piedmont, is located at the foot of the Alps bordering both Switzerland and France, embodies Italian elegance. From dramatic mountain views to dignified cities, exceptional cuisine paired with full-bodied red wines such as Barolo and Barbaresco, and more, Piedmont is an impressive part of the country. Ever heard of the Alba White Truffle Festival or the Italian Lakes where superstars retreat for vacation? That’s all in Piedmont.

Turin, the region’s capital and the former capital of Italy, is perhaps the most famous city in Piedmont, known for its well-preserved examples of Baroque, Rococo, and Neoclassical architecture. The capital draws tourists to its Egyptian Museum, which features the largest collection of Egyptian artifacts outside of Cairo. For those seeking a more indulgent experience, a Turin wine tour is a must. You can sample some of the region’s finest wines while taking in the vibrant atmosphere of the city while enjoying your wine tasting in Turin. Around this lively hub, you’ll find bustling bars, Art Deco cafes, and a contemporary music and art scene.

Other notable destinations are Asti, where the sparkling wine of the same name is produced, lakeside towns like the resort haven of Stresa on Lake Maggiore, and more. The region shows some French influence, visible in the area’s strong cafe culture and in local cuisine that favors appetizers and lots of butter. Traditional Piedmontese dishes include agnolotti, a kind of stuffed pasta that originated in the region in the 14th century, lean Fassona beef, vitello tonnato, hazelnuts, bagna càuda, a savory broth served like fondue, as well as dynamic red wines made from the Nebbiolo grape.
