"PIEDMONT FALL FOOD AND WINE TOUR" looks spectacular, Katy!
We are so excited! Can't wait to show all the dedicated food and wine lovers this very special part of Italy and taste all the truffles and Barolo wine too!

Wonderful !
Thanks Emmanuel, we can't wait to show visitors these hidden corners of Italy
