Discover Piedmont, Italy’s best kept secret

The local food of the region is rich and world renowned thanks to the lush landscapes of mountains and valleys, rivers and lakes, that can be toured by car in a vintage Fiat 500 or even viewed from above in a hot air balloon, where you can take in the scale and beauty of the area.

Piedmont’s annual food festivals entice travellers with a taste for haute cuisine for an experience like no other, sampling the region’s finest and most unique products.

Food lovers and gourmands flock to Piedmont every autumn for a host of festivals, including the Slow Food Fair – Salone del Gusto in Turin, one of the most important food festivals in the world. The famous Alba White Truffle Festival has celebrated one of the region’s most unique products for nearly 100 years and gives travellers with a taste for haute cuisine an experience like no other, where you can join a local hunter to discover the rituals of finding this ‘white gold’ before sampling the freshest produce at a hillside restaurant. You can learn more about this verdant region’s local produce, from delicious wine and cheese, to rice, hazelnuts and aromatic herbs, in a private cooking class or culinary workshop.
