Piedmont

A region in northwest Italy known for its wines, truffles, and the city of Turin, surrounded on three sides by the Alps.

Piedmont spreads between the French Alps, the Italian Alps, and the Ligurian Sea like a great big basket of grapes. Turin is at its center, but more on that later. Before you hit the city, make time for wine! The fertile lands that filter off the Po River here are perfect for producing high-quality tipples. Seek out vineyards near the stunning town of Monferrato or Asti. They specialise in the Barbera and Nebbiolo grapes, which regularly price at anything over $40 a bottle!
