Italy's Piedmont: The Art of Slow Living

A very important feature of our Piedmont journey is the limited group size, as cultural expeditions are best experienced with fewer travelers for a more peaceful and personalized experience with less impact. Also, a small group allows us to experience the intimate hospitality of the boutique and historic villas where we stay.

Accommodations at private villa, all meals throughout itinerary, all wine and liquor at the villa, private wine tastings and vineyard tour, all van transportation within itinerary, services of Terra & Tu guides and staff, all other guided activities.

Additional purchases onsite (wine bottles at vineyards, souvenirs, etc.), required documents or medical tests (if any), gratuities.

This journey through Piedmont goes far beyond the typical cultural. Designed for discerning travelers who seek a deeper level of immersion into the tastes and traditions of Italy, it offers an intimate look at a region often overlooked by surface-level tourists. From our base in hills of the world-renowned Langhe wine region, we explore timeless villages, family-run vineyards, and the homes of artisans and producers who have shaped the region’s culinary traditions for generations. 

Rather than rushing between tourist highlights, this itinerary invites you to slow down and savor—whether you're truffle hunting with locals, cooking alongside Slow Food advocates, or sharing meals with winemakers in their homes. Each experience is made possible through our personal relationships with the people who call this region home, offering you a deeper understanding of Piedmont’s rich cultural heritage. 

 Given ample notice, our team can accommodate most dietary needs and restrictions. 

We recommend arriving in Turin the night before Day 1 so you can rest from your travels and begin the trip refreshed. Guests arriving on Day 1 must reach Turin in time to meet your Expedition Leader and fellow travelers at the city’s central Porta Nuova train station at 2:00 pm.

You may depart Turin any time after 3 pm on the final day.
