OVERVIEW OF OUR PIEMONTE ROAD TRIP

Discover Piedmont’s pleasure of surprise. From its mountains to lakes, golden rice fields, vineyards, castle-perched hills and Islands, the Alpine region of Piedmont (meaning “foot of the mountain”) is an art, nature, wine and gastronomical paradise. Recently added to the Unesco World Heritage list, the wine landscapes of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato are the source of Italy’s extraordinary wines and the inspiration behind generations of artists, poets and dreamers.

WHAT YOU WILL SEE DURING OUR PIEMONTE ROAD TRIP
