Flavours and Traditions of the Chestnut Season in Piedmont

Info and Description

Autumn in Piedmont is the season of excellence, when the hills of the Langhe and Monferrato light up with spectacular colours and the valleys celebrate the end of the grape harvest. Choosing an Agriturismo in Piedmont during this period means immersing yourself in the heart of Italian food and wine tradition, where the scent of must and forest announces the chestnut season. An agriturismo stay in autumn is the perfect choice for a rural holiday that combines culture, taste, and UNESCO World Heritage landscapes.

The chestnut season in Piedmont merges with the rituals of wine and truffles. A stay in the Piedmontese countryside offers you the unique opportunity to participate in chestnut picking in the Alpine valleys and woods, and then enjoy the classic caldarroste (roasted chestnuts) paired with new wine. But the gastronomic experience doesn't end there: many agriturismi offer dedicated activities, such as truffle hunting, an exciting adventure followed by exclusive tastings of typical Piedmontese autumn products. To learn the secrets of local cuisine, select an agriturismo in Piedmont with cooking classes where you can focus on creating dishes based on seasonal produce.

Autumn in Piedmont is also ideal for relaxation and activities. For food lovers, the best way to end the day is with a beautiful wine tasting, where you can sample Barolo, Barbaresco, and Dolcetto directly in the cellar. If you are travelling with family, an agriturismo for children in Piedmont guarantees large open spaces and activities like visiting the farm. And to explore the woods and vineyards at a slow and relaxing pace, many farmhouses also offer horse riding facilities either on-site or nearby, allowing for evocative horseback rides in the local foliage.

Piedmont, with its Langhe, Monferrato, and the Alps, gives you the opportunity to go trekking in the woods and cycling tourism among the rows of Barolo vineyards in a setting of spectacular colours. A romantic stay during this season is guaranteed, perhaps in front of a lit fireplace, after a day spent exploring medieval villages and castles.
