BICYCLE TOUR IN piedmont, piedmonte, piemonteTucked away in the Northwestern reaches of Italy, dotted with picturesque vineyards, medieval castles, and unspoiled villages, lies a cyclist’s dream. A bit removed from the rest of Italy and complemented by a dash of French influence, Piedmont boasts the perfect combination of fine wines and gastronomy. We’ll cycle the magnificent countryside of the Langhe Hills, past truffle-filled chestnut trees and hazel groves. Along the way, we’ll learn about the region’s earthy, artisan cuisine that finds perfect harmony with robust, French-influenced vintages. We’ll taste the Nebbiolo grape, cultivated here since Caesar’s day. And drop in on tiny hamlets with names that delight the tongue: Montabone … Rocchetta Palafea … Tremolino. At the end of each day, the healing waters of thermal springs soothe us. And a bold cuisine with wine to match – perhaps Barolo or Barbaresco – transform our insatiable Piedmont-inspired appetite into a glorious slumber.
