A Taste of Piedmont with Viaggi di Gusto & Chef Adam

Barolo, Truffles & Harvest Season

October 11 - 21, 2027

Pack your bags and join fellow Madison Club member Cathy Fleming of Viaggi di Gusto and Chef Adam for an unforgettable journey through the food, wine, history, and breathtaking scenery of Northern Italy!

Your adventure begins in Turin, Italy’s elegant first capital, where grand piazzas, royal palaces, historic cafés, and centuries of tradition await. Explore the city’s architectural treasures, experience the beloved Piedmontese aperitivo, and visit the magnificent Reggia di Venaria Reale before heading into the rolling hills of the Langhe.

In the heart of one of Italy’s most celebrated wine regions, you’ll sip world-renowned Barolo and Barbaresco, meet local winemakers, wander the charming streets of Alba and La Morra, and savor the flavors that have made Piedmont a culinary destination. One of the trip’s highlights takes you into the countryside alongside a local truffle hunter and his dogs in search of the region’s prized truffles — with Chef Adam along for the adventure!

From there, travel to the sparkling shores of Lago Maggiore and the picturesque lakeside town of Stresa. Cruise across the lake, visit historic Santa Caterina del Sasso, explore the enchanting Borromean Islands, and soak in spectacular views of the Alps. The journey concludes with a special farewell dinner on beautiful Isola Bella.

From truffle hunting and vineyard visits to incredible meals, historic cities, and lakeside escapes, Cathy has thoughtfully curated an experience that showcases the very best of Northern Italy. Come hungry, bring your sense of adventure, and experience la dolce vita with Cathy, Chef Adam, and your fellow Madison Club members!
