PIEMONTE BIKING ITINERARY
Trip Length: 7 days/6 nights
Start/Finish: Turin/Turin
Never heard of Piemonte (aka Piedmont)? You’re not alone, and
we’re thrilled about it – because it means we’re virtually alone
as we pedal small roads through the most prestigious vineyards
in Italy, stay in elegant small hotels, and eat the kind of
luxuriously rustic food that has earned this region more
Michelin stars than any other in the country.
In spite of the renown of its Barolo and Barbaresco wines,
Piemonte is relatively undiscovered – and maybe that’s why the
people seem so relaxed and modest. Of course, all modesty
dissipates when they’re waxing poetic about their land; the
spectacular beauty of the Langhe and Roero hills, and the
abundance that hails from them. On an unforgettable afternoon
with a real trifulao, you’ll hunt for the greatest bounty of
all: the prized white truffle of Alba.
Trip Highlights:
- Bike among orchards and forests in the Monferrato hills
- Enjoy Michelin-starred meals and visit the birthplace of
the Slow Food movement
- Bike to the hill town of Mango, where a lunch and tour
await in the town’s formidable castle
- Enjoy a grape- or wine-based treatment at Relais San
Maurizio’s luxury spa
- Wind down amid the vines at the splendid Villa d’Amelia
