PIEDMONT
A paradise for true food and wine lovers, Piedmont lies in north-western Italy and offers an extraordinary diversity of landscapes — from the dramatic Alpine peaks to the gentle plains of the Po Valley. Renowned vineyards produce some of the world’s finest wines, while forests rich in truffles and hazelnuts surround an abundance of breath-taking countryside waiting to be explored. It is a true fantasyland for the bon vivant.
Piedmont is also the birthplace of the Slow Food movement, a philosophy that celebrates local, organic ingredients and time-honoured culinary traditions in response to fast food culture. Here, authentic flavours and a slower pace of life take centre stage, enchanting visitors in countless ways.
In Piedmont, you can still savour the essence of authentic Italy. It is the perfect region for relaxing, indulging in the good life, and immersing yourself in nature — and, of course, ideal for Vespa touring. Each route winds through captivating landscapes where hilltop castles, outstanding restaurants and prestigious wineries follow one another in perfect harmony.
All tours start and finish in Piazza Savona, Alba, the heart of this gastronomic region. The Barolo, Alta Langa, Barbaresco and Roero routes are among the most celebrated. Should you wish to include a visit to one or both nearby cities during your stay, we would be delighted to design a personalised city experience for you.

VERONA, LAKE GARDA & THE VALPOLICELLA REGION

Valpolicella is a viticultural area, famous for its wines on the eastern side of the lake. It is just as highly ranked as the Chianti region.
Verona is the city of love, of Romeo and Juliet. But there is so much more to this city than just the tale of two lovers. Enjoy the many Roman architectural remains. The Arena is the third largest remaining Roman amphitheatre in Italy which is today used for opera. Why not combine your Vespa holiday with a night at the opera, simply magical.
Our trips from 'San Pietro in Cariano' take you to the north and south of Lake Garda and through the Valpolicella region and the city of Verona. These will certainly make you dream about delicious Italian wines and history. Also, Venice is just a short distance from this region and can be added to your trip.
