Canavese, flavors to discover

A Four-Day Culinary Tour through the Heart of the Canavese region

There is a part of Piedmont still waiting to be discovered: the Canavese region. It is a land of rolling hills sculpted by the ancient Balteo Glacier, where every sip of wine tells a story and every flavor speaks of tradition. Your journey begins with arrival in Settimo Vittone and hotel check-in, followed by dinner at a traditional restaurant to immediately savor the region’s authentic flavors.

Among ancient villages, Balmetti, and historical treasures

The second day starts with breakfast at the hotel and meeting the guide.

First stop: Borgofranco d’Ivrea, a farming village dating back to the late 1200s where history and architecture blend together. The tour continues to the extraordinary Balmetti area, a unique location, natural cellars carved into the rock, showcasing the area’s winemaking and agricultural heritage. The visit ends with a tasting of local specialties, paired with selected wines.

In the afternoon, visit the atmospheric Early Christian complex of the Baptistery of San Giovanni Battista and the Pieve of San Lorenzo, silent witnesses to centuries of pilgrimage on the Via Francigena.

Return to the hotel, dinner at a restaurant, and overnight.

Carema: Among terraced vineyards and renowned Mountain Nebbiolo

Day three is dedicated to Carema, the kingdom of Mountain Nebbiolo.
