Barolo Country
Fall 2024
Nestled in the foothills of the Alps, Piedmont is the seat of the Italian unification movement, a former coveted prize for Austro-Hungarian and French forces, and now a prized destination for its world-class wines, cheeses, chocolates, museums, cuisine and, of course, outrageous truffles.
As if all of that yummy Barolo and the afore-mentioned truffles weren’t enough, let’s talk about Turin (referred to as ‘the Paris of Italy’). An elegant and vibrant city that boasts incredible food, fabulous Baroque architecture, sophisticated culture, and top-notch museums among its many allures. Our luxury small group trips to Piedmont are the very definition of ‘fine living.’
