Discover the heart of Piedmont through the slow tourism
A 6-night journey through Castles, Vineyards, Lakes - From Langhe to Lakes
A journey through Piemonte: 6-nights of timeless beauty, noble hospitality, and unforgettable flavors, with private transfer and a private guide!
Step into a dream where rolling hills, centuries-old castles, noble traditions, and culinary treasures come together in one of Italy’s most enchanting regions - Piemonte. This six-night journey takes you deep into the heart of Monferrato, the Langhe, Turin, and the Lake district, revealing the soul of a land that’s both elegant and rooted in authenticity.
Begin your journey in the poetic landscapes of Monferrato, a UNESCO World Heritage site of hills and vineyards. Stay at Castello Marchesi Alfieri guesthouse, a jewel still inhabited and lovingly managed by three noble sisters. Explore their private wine cellars, wander through their enchanting gardens, and sip their refined wines. Here, nobility is not just a title — it’s a way of welcoming guests with grace and authenticity.
Travel south into the Langhe, where vineyard-covered hills stretch as far as the eye can see, and wine is a way of life. Visit the Castello di Grinzane Cavour, once the home of Italy’s first Prime Minister. Walk through its fascinating open-air museum, a celebration of the ancient bond between vines and people. Lose yourself in the charming villages of Barolo and La Morra, admiring panoramas over the UNESCO-protected hills. Taste the soul of Piemonte in every glass of Barolo wine, known as "the King of Wines and the Wine of Kings". Then comes Alba, the capital of the Langhe and the home of 100 medieval towers. Stroll its vibrant piazzas, sample artisanal pastries, and discover why every autumn, the world flocks here for the International White Truffle Fair - a feast of aroma, flavor, and tradition.
Your journey continues to Turin, Italy’s first capital and a city that wears its history with style. Regal boulevards, baroque palaces, and elegant cafés tell stories of the Savoy dynasty, whose opulent residences are now UNESCO World Heritage sites. Visit its museums and savor the city’s iconic chocolate creations, from velvety Gianduiotto to the famous Bicerin.
Turin is where Italy’s past and future meet — a city of art, architecture, innovation, and irresistible charm.
The final chapter of your journey is set against the shimmering waters of the Lake District. Discover the Borromean Islands on Lake Maggiore — step into the floral paradise of Isola Bella, with its terraced gardens and opulent palace, and experience the timeless rhythm of life on Isola dei Pescatori, where fishermen still cast their nets at dawn. Then comes the serene beauty of Lake Orta, a hidden gem beloved by poets and dreamers. A short boat ride takes you to Isola di San Giulio, where stone paths lead to frescoed chapels and peaceful views stretch across water and alpine peaks. It’s a place that invites silence, reflection, and awe.
This is more than a tour - it’s an immersion into the art of Italian living, curated for those who seek elegance without excess, beauty in every detail, and stories behind every glass of wine and historic wall. Let Piemonte seduce you with its authenticity, nobility, and quiet magnificence.
Come, live the royal dream — and write your own Italian story!
