If you are searching for a destination to enjoy an amazing food and wine tour, consider a visit to Piedmont. Piedmont is situated in the northwest region of Italy and is famous for its incredible selection of food and wine. This region borders France and Switzerland, providing a unique flavor palette that combines the best of Italian cooking with the cultures of its neighboring countries. Multi-day food and wine tours will allow you to fully immerse yourself in this special region and all it offers. 

What Makes Food and Wine in Piedmont So Special?

Piedmont is the second largest region in the country, and its name directly translates to “Foot of the Mountain.” That’s because the Alps surround this gorgeous area on three sides. Although Piedmont is famous for its delectable Italian cuisine, it also takes influence from its French and Swiss neighbors. As a result, the area is filled with Michelin restaurants, fabulous vineyards, and wineries. It’s a food and wine tour destination that’s not to be missed.

Wine Tourism in Piedmont

Barolo Wine, Piedmont, Italy

Wine tourism is prevalent throughout the Piedmont region. A major component of the tourism experience is a visit to the sprawling, beautiful vineyards dotted throughout northwest Italy. Piedmont is a top wine region in Italy and is most famous for Barolo and Barbaresco wines. But while these are the most well-known wines, there is a huge variety of vino within Piedmont’s borders, all of which must be tasted and enjoyed. Although mountain lovers will gravitate toward the northern Alps of Piedmont, wine enthusiasts know that the best wine is produced in the southern area of the region in the softer, rolling hills. The temperature variation between the Alps and the Mediterranean in this area creates the perfect conditions for vineyards and excellent wine production. During your wine tour, you can experience red and white wines like:

• Freisa
• Bonarda
• Grignolino 
• Erbaluce
• Malvasia
• Favorita

Food Tourism in Piedmont

The fabulous food of Piedmont has to be experienced to be fully understood. This is why food tours are so popular in this region. Expect to experience local eateries and the unforgettable flavor of 3 Michelin-Star restaurants like Villa Crespi. These restaurants will feature the tastes of locally-grown specialty foods, including dried fronts and nuts like chestnuts, walnuts, and of course, hazelnuts. Piedmont is, after all, the home of Nutella hazelnut spread! 

Piedmont is also home to Ross di Lago, a traditional Italian cheese that is characterized by its smooth, sticky texture and mild garlic flavor. You’ll also enjoy tasting Castelrosso, Crutin, and Bettelmatt cheeses, among others. Many restaurants also offer fondue tastings, thanks to its shared border with France. Of course, we would be remiss if we didn’t point out that Piedmont is famous for its extremely rare White Truffles, which are deeply aromatic and valuable. While on a Piedmont Italy food tour, you’ll feast on rich veal, fresh veggies, caper sauce, snails, and fresh pasta with organic, handmade sauces.
