Ride through charming landscapes, the Alps dancing in the distant horizon, and relax in intimate luxury boutique hotels with heartfelt service. Pedal through the rolling hills and peaceful river valleys of the Langhe and Monferrato, and coast through hazelnut groves and wind through vineyard-laden hills.

Breathe in the scent of the vineyards as you hike between brick-red villages and stroll partisan trails. Wander into a special hazelnut grove with our friend Beppe, the ‘trifolao’, and his four-legged partner for a spontaneous truffle hunt. If there are truffles to be found (if the season and weather are right), Beppe and his dog will unearth them for you. Uncover the historic town of Alba—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—on foot with a local historian and settle in for some delicious fare that perfectly expresses the Piemonte region.

Piemonte and Milan are ideal combinations of the earthly goodness and glamour that encapsulates Italy. From the history-rich city of Turin to the gourmand’s paradise in picturesque Langhe and Monferrato, explore the palaces, castles, Slow Food tables and special cellars that make Piemonte special. In the cosmopolitan city of Milan, high fashion, art treasures and architectural gems take centre stage. Climb the rooftop terraces of the stunning Milan Cathedral (Duomo di Milano), gaze upon Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper and enjoy gourmet meals as you tool around the city aboard one of Milan’s historic trolleys (trams).
