Why should
I book with Tour Piedmont?
Because the Piedmont is what we specialize in. We have
reasons for choosing one hotel or restaurant over another.
Our classes offer a pleasant mix of culinary, language and
historical reference. We want your experience to be unique
enough to come back more than once. Our background in
business and advertising gives us an edge of high
expectations of service for our clients and the fact that
we live here lets us give our clients access to unique and
authentic experiences.

Where we are -
Dove
Siamo?
The
Piedmont region is famous for truffles, Barbaresco,
Barolo and majestic beauty. The Langhe is considered the
culinary sweet spot of the Piedmont, and Italy.
Airport connections are easy. One hour from the airport in
Torino, two from Milan and 2.5 hours from the airport in
Nice.
Is the food and wine
really THAT good?
We think
so, but so do a couple of respectable magazines; the
New York Times
and
Travel & Leisure
have
both declared this region to be "the best" that Italy
has to offer.
What if I want to book a tour on different days that are
listed?
Send us a request and we will see what we can do. Include
how many people in your party.
Can I drive my own
car?
The short answer is yes. It really depends on how many
people are traveling with you. Get in touch and we will see what we can work out.
What type of dress is
appropriate?
We include packing suggestions for each tour in the trip
planning material you will receive after booking your trip.
Comfort is king, however white sneakers tend to label you
as a tourist, which in the end doesn't really matter.
How big are the
groups?
Some as small as 2, but never more than 8. If you book a
customized private tour you can have as many as you want.
We work with wine shops and importers from all over the
world taking care of their visiting customers. If you want
to arrange a custom tour, let us know.
Do I have to speak
Italian?
No, we speak English and if one of the chefs or purveyors
speaks only Italian we will translate it for you. For those
studying Italian, we can also integrate an Italian language
course into your trip.
