About this experience

Escape the beaten path and immerse yourself in the flavors and landscapes of Canavese, a fascinating corner of Piedmont rich in history and tradition.

This experience is all about discovering two distinct wineries, tasting wines deeply connected to the land, and exploring vineyard-covered hillsides that few travelers get to see.

Erbaluce, a white, mineral wine from the hillside vineyards of Caluso, and Carema, a tannic red wine from the mountain terraced vineyards of the eponymous village of Carema.

If you want to go beyond the usual routes, meet the people behind the wines, and experience an authentic slice of Piedmont that remains largely undiscovered, this is the tour for you.

Detailed itinerary

Our journey begins in Turin, heading north to the rolling vineyards of Caluso, where Erbaluce grapes have been cultivated for centuries. At a family-run organic winery, we’ll walk through the vines, learn about the winemaking process, and enjoy a guided tasting of their best labels.

For lunch, we’ll sit down to a home-cooked meal, lovingly prepared on the spot by the lady of the winery, featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients that reflect the true flavors of the region.

In the afternoon, we’ll continue to Carema, a village where vineyards grow on dramatic stone terraces built into the mountainside. Here, we’ll take a nice restorative walk through the vineyards that will end up at a historic winery that brings together the work of local growers, preserving centuries-old traditions.

After exploring the cellars, we’ll enjoy another tasting, this time featuring the bold, elegant wines that define Carema.
