With Edo - The Forgotten Wine Roads of Piedmont · From Turin

About this tour

Edo runs a seven-hour wine tour through Canavese, a quiet region just north of Turin that bypasses the well-trodden Piedmont circuit. You'll visit two family-owned wineries with just three other travellers, meet the winemakers, and taste Erbaluce di Caluso whites and Carema reds grown on Alpine terraces. A homemade lunch using local ingredients sits at the heart of the day. This is wine country explored at a genuine pace, led by someone who knows every vineyard personally.

Highlights

• Taste three Erbaluce di Caluso whites in their Canavese birthplace
• Sample rare Carema Nebbiolo from steep stone-terraced vineyards
• Meet winemakers at two independent family operations
• Homemade lunch with fresh local produce on-site
• Alpine hillside scenery, minimal crowds, groups capped at four
• Private transport and bottled water throughout

What to expect

You'll depart Turin and head into Canavese, a valley most visitors skip. The day unfolds unhurried: arrive at the first winery, talk directly with the producer, then taste their whites—two dry expressions and one dessert wine made from Erbaluce grapes. Move to the second estate for Carema reds, tasting how Nebbiolo adapts to altitude and steep terrain. Between tastings, you'll sit down to a three-course lunch prepared fresh using ingredients sourced locally. Throughout, Edo contextualises what you're drinking and why these wines remain under the radar.
