The Northern part of Piedmont Region, increasingly known as Alto Piemonte, is the cradle of a wine making tradition that dates back as far as the Roman times.
In this lands at the foothills of the Alps the most noble grape varietal of all has found its perfect home: that is NEBBIOLO.
Ghemme, Gattinara, Fara, Sizzano, Boca, Colline Novaresi, Coste della Sesia, Bramaterra, Lessona and Valli Ossolane are all Nebbiolo and indigenuos grape varietals-based appellations that cover the four provinces of Biella, Vercelli, Novara and Verbano-Cusio-Ossola. More than eighty between craft wine producers and family-run estates testify the amazing quality of what can still be considered an off-the-beaten-path wine production.
There is a plethora of hidden gems with labels that range from youthful to aged wines with a bias to seduce you and take you into a mind-blowing and mesmerizing experience.
Whether you feel like giving your legs a break after a full on skiing session or simply fancy looking at your holiday from a different perspective, a Wine Tour with us can make your day as exhilarating and inspiring as you never thought it could be.
Wine Tours caters to guests who have booked a minimum one week in the same ski resort and include a variety of daily programs that typically include a hike in the vineyard followed by a wine and local food tasting.
Upon request we can offer bespoke plans including lunch in the best local restaurants and taverns.
