A three day tour focused on the UNESCO wolrd heritage sites of Piedmont : the charming Turin along with the stunning vineyard landscapes of Barolo and Barbaresco our flexible and tailor-made programme satisfies both the top-quality Italian oenogastronomy lovers and the passionate travellers seeking the emotions of new landscapes/architectures.
The NY Times named the capital city of Piedmont the best Italian destination for 2016. Excellent choice! Turin is no longer just the city of FIAT , the famous car company. Thanks to the 2006 Olympics the city has regained momentum, finding her noble beauty of the time when it was the capital of the newly unified Italian kingdom.
