| Touring the Piemonte wine region with Pino as our host was a magical experience that only someone with Pino’s skill set and background could create. He was born and raised in this area of Italy and as a professional chef, we learned so much from him about Italian food and wine. He picked up our group of friends from the Milan airport and from there took great care of us the entire tour. He carefully curated educational wine tours; took us truffle hunting; made fabulous restaurant reservations and even made us amazing breakfasts at our villa before we headed out on our adventure each day. I would jump at the chance to do it all again. He became a friend to us all and it was such a delight to spend time with him. We love you Pino! |
Truly a magical trip.This is a beautiful part of Italy that still feels relatively undiscovered by tourists. It was such a treat to explore the amazing wineries, wonderful restaurants, charming towns and local culture -- all stress-free because Pino planned every detail so well. Pino really provides a one-of-a-kind experience. He has exquisite taste, and he put together an itinerary that reflected it. Here are just a few of the things I have to rave about:
- Pino curated the wineries so we truly experienced the best, with a wide variety of experiences from small generational family vineyards (where we met family members) to large operations; from standard wine tastings to unique wine and food pairings
- He prepared delicious and plentiful breakfasts every morning, and made a truly memorable meal for us one night at our villa
- Each restaurant he chose for dinners was delicious and special in its own way
- Pino was a great driver -- we had total confidence in how he navigated the roads
- Pino's schedule was a great balance of planned activities and free time, and he was flexible to adjust that to suit us
This trip exceeded all my expectations. It really makes a difference to experience a region with a guide who knows and loves it so well. Highly recommended! |
Trip of a lifetime! Imagine a week in Italy's Piedmont wine (and truffle!) region - guided by a lifetime chef (!) raised in the area. Pino will introduce you to the most authentic tastes, wineries, traditions and experiences in the area. Find a group of adventuring friends and book this trip now. You will cherish this experience. Promise. |
Magical week with 7 friends touring multiple wineries, going truffle hunting, eating wonderful local food and drinking exceptional wine. The landscape of old medieval towns on a hilltop with surrounding rolling hills of vineyards is gorgeous and relaxing. Pino had planned a full itinerary that we could not have recreated ourselves, as he is incredibly knowledgeable about the area, having been born and raised there. He is warm, attentive, a very careful driver and an exceptional chef who served us a delicious breakfast every morning and a special lunch one day and dinner another evening. He clearly cared deeply that we got to experience all that this special region of Italy has to offer. |
