Experience the grape harvest in Piedmont!

Info and Description

Piedmont, with its rolling hills, a UNESCO World Heritage site across the Langhe, Roero, and Monferrato areas, is the quintessential destination for autumn wine and food tourism. Choosing a farm stay in Piedmont surrounded by vineyards means diving into an atmosphere of elegance and tradition, the ideal setting for a high-level gastronomic weekend. The grape harvest season here is not just work, but a celebration of Nebbiolo, the mother grape of Italy's most prestigious wines. Many farmhouses with a winery in Piedmont offer the chance to actively participate in the picking, following the journey of the grapes to the pressing stage and visiting the historical cellars.

The allure of Piedmont in autumn is intrinsically linked to its structured and aged red wines. The most sought-after areas are those surrounding the towns that lend their names to the great reds: the majestic Barolo and the elegant Barbaresco. Staying in these areas, you will have the opportunity to participate in wine tasting at the farmhouse that ranges from Nebbiolo to Barbera, Dolcetto, and extends to white wines like Arneis and Gavi. But the autumn experience in Piedmont is not complete without its most prized delicacy: the White Truffle of Alba (Tartufo Bianco d'Alba).

In fact, the grape harvest in Piedmont coincides with the truffle hunting season, making the sensory experience doubly rich. Numerous charming farmhouses and wine resorts organize authentic truffle hunting excursions with professional trifolai (truffle hunters) and their dogs, followed by themed dinners where this gem of the earth is generously shaved over tajarin (pasta) and fried eggs. Farmhouse holidays in this region are ideal for those seeking excellence, combining relaxation among the golden rows of autumn foliage with a luxury gastronomic offering. Whether you are looking for an intimate retreat or a farm offering Piedmontese cooking classes, Piedmont awaits you to celebrate the best fruits of the land.
