The long, lush hills which comprise the areas around Barolo, Barbaresco and Alba contain some of Italy's best kept secrets. To gaze across the landscape, it seems as if the people have been guarding these secrets for centuries as every hilltop is dominated by a medieval castle protecting its small village and church. Piedmont rests at the pinnacle of Italian cuisine. Home to the Slow Food movement that is dedicated to the preservation of traditional and artiginal products, it is famous for its imaginative use of local products and the rich, flavorful wines which complement each dish. Our culinary exploration includes visits not only to famous dining destinations, but also to family run trattorias where the cooks share their recipes for hand-rolled hazelnut ravioli.
