We are scheduled to spend 5 nights at the Ada Nada agriturismo in the Langhe region of Piemonte. I am having a great deal of trouble finding good information about how to structure time there. I am, as my login suggests, into food in a big way.
We have two nights booked in Turin at La Maison B&B before 5 nights at Ada Nada before decamping to Cogne for a trip up Monte Bianco and a walk in the national park or three. So, 7 in Piemonte total, then two nights in VdAosta. In looking at Turin, we have some thoughts: 1- Why isn't Turin like the fourth leg on the 3 city pilgrammage? Doesn't make sense. Of course I've read that if Rome, Venice and Florence didn't exist, Turin would be the best city in Italy. 2- Two nights, with the first night being a late arrival, is going to be wholly inadequate, so we're likely going to trade a day from Ada Nada to drive back to Turin for more stuff. 3- so excited about the trip, but really concerned that I am going to mess it up. Glad to hear that Ada Nada was great.
Thanks Suexpat. How does this sound for things: Barolo regional enotecca and wine taste in town. Barbaresco regional enotecca and same.Grinzane CavourDrive in the country and see some of the smaller towns. Have a snail feast in Cherasco. I explained how vineyard tastings work, with a whole tour of the vineyard and winemaking, and that exceeds wife's level of interest.

For VdA, at Les Trompeurs/Chez Odette in Cogne. As sparse as the information about Piemonte is, Valle D'Aosta is even lighter if you're not a skier.
