We’ll begin our journey with a welcome dinner in Torino on November 1 and head to the center of Barolo to stay at the Fontanafredda Village with its endless views and warm hospitality. The working winery hosts us for 5 nights in a building originally used as housing for employees and their families who lived together as part of the Village community. Today, Hotel Le Case dei Conti Mirafiore is a captivating luxury hotel embraced by the beauty of the UNESCO World Heritage Barolo wine region.
Here we will taste the best wines of the Langhe Region, hand selected by your hosts at Compline Wine Shop, at the most sought-after producers. Their close relationships with the region’s iconic wineries, provides a unique bucket list immersion into the wines. The Piemonte food evolved to compliment the wine and we’ll dine at some of the most coveted local restaurants, go on a truffle hunt, attend the International Truffle Festival in Alba and learn the secret of making agnolotti; the delicious stuffed pasta pillows created in Piemonte.
Torino, the capital of Piemonte, will be our next destination to discover vermouth, chocolate, pastas and aperitivos. We’ll stay at the luxury 5* Grand Hotel Sitea,
situated in the historic heart of Torino, within a few minutes’ walk to the architecturally significant Piazzas and shops in the most elegant area of the city. We’ll learn the city with a street food tour highlighting the rich chocolates and traditional pastas in the most memorable shops. We’ll get intimate with vermouth during a special experience provided by the Consorzio del Vermouth di Torino, the foremost organization for the highest standards of vermouth production. Add in a tour of the Royal Palace, superb meals at the best restaurants and you have the perfect Torino experience.
