Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Julia was a phenomenal guide from start to end! She led our party of 12 through the three areas of Monferrato, Langhe, and Roero with a personalized touch and unique tastings. Her knowledge is beyond compare and her attention to detail was so appreciated. She also helped coordinate a chef’s meal and pairing at our rented villa, which many said was the best meal of their life! We would not hesitate to use Julia again for another visit!

We booked a full days tour with Piedmont F&W, starting with a truffle hunt (via the scenic route!), and then onto some wine tasting. The experience was quite honestly perfect from start to finish. Simon was not only wonderful company, but also a fountain of local knowledge, patiently answering our endless questions! We would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone who is looking to learn about the local area in good, easygoing company.

Highest recommendation for a personalized Piedmont experience that included wine tasting in Barolo and Barbaresco, an amazing lunch recommendation in Barbaresco and a truffle hunt in the woods with expert truffle hunters (human and canine!) We actually found 2 black truffles! We learned so much about the area and wonderful people. Matteo was a wonderful guide, full of information and flexible to whatever we wanted to do, taking us everywhere we wanted to go. This is the BEST way to experience Piedmont.

Thanks to Simon, our tour of Barolo and Barbaresco was as good as it gets!
It started with Simon listening to our requests; number of wineries, area to be covered and overall experience we wanted. He presented us with the perfect itinerary which included private tastings, lunch, tour of small towns with historic sites and a visit to a shop with local products that I wanted to bring home.
Most impressive was his knowledge of the area and the wines, plus the genuine friendships he has formed with wineries.
It felt as though we were traveling with a friend, not on a tour!

We cannot recommend enough our experience with Piedmont food and wine. Especially for English-speaking persons visiting the region, this is a tremendous resource to have an authentic and local experience, but also engage in a way with which you can have real learning opportunities and takeaways without language barriers. We spent our day with Julia, and had a full and adventurous experience, while also learning a large amount about the local wine, designations and DOCG’s. Whether you are an experienced aficionado, or just simply looking to learn about Piedmontese, wine and cuisine, I can’t imagine another resource that would compare. I would also note that all tours are effectively customizable and you can work directly with staff to pre-specify exactly what you’re hoping to experience and focus on. This is not for those who desire, generic, and/or a big tour bus group experiences. Thank you Julia and Simon for an amazing and unforgettable experience.

We had the best day with Simon from Piedmont Food and Wine. It began by Simon picking us up at our hotel and driving us to the truffle hunt site, where we met our trusty truffle hunter, Gino, with his companion Bobby. Along the way, Simon told us about the area and we got to learn some Piedmont history. The hunt itself was such an authentic, fun experience and both Simon and Gino were so knowledgeable and kind. Gino and his wife then welcomed us into their home for a DELICIOUS homemade meal and to try their wines. It was unforgettable. Then, Simon took us into the town of Barbaresco where he graciously showed us around and led us to another wine tasting.
The truffle, food, and wine would have been amazing on their own- but it was Simon and Gino’s hospitality and heart that made it an experience that can’t be missed. Thank you, Piedmont Food and Wine for the AMAZING day!!!

Julia has proven to be an invaluable guide in region. From first recommending the gorgeous village of Neive as a base to the 3 full days of guiding us in the area according to our requests. Julia's knowledge of the area is extensive and through sharing this, our experience was that much richer for it.
We did a truffle hunt, cheese tasting, visited a hazelnut farm, a castle and a number of villages and towns in the area, and of course a number of wineries. Julia put together an itinerary that pleased the three generations of our family.
When we had rain on one day, Julia quickly moved things around to accommodate this. We always felt that she went above and beyond to ensure that we had the best possible experience, which is certainly what we had! Julia's offer to arrange to send some wine purchases home to the UK on our behalf was especially appreciated. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time on the Truffle Hunt tour. Simon was highly informative on the Piemonte region as a whole and was a great guide. We had a great hunting experience with Gino the Truffle Hunter. After the hunt we had an amazing afternoon of incredible food and wine. It was a great day. In fact we ate so much we cancelled dinner. We would highly recommend this travel company and the experience was memorable.

Julia arranged 3 activities for us: Truffle hunt, wine harvest and wine tasting. All were perfectly coordinated. The activities matched our wishes. The communication with Julia was very good, it was fast, to the point and Julia is a very kind person. Julia helped us out with the planning and the best way to fit them into our holiday. We are very happy with the services, the proposals and the activities themselves. When we come back to Piedmont we will definitely ask Julia to help us again. If you are looking for nice food and wine activities in Piedmont, we would definitely recommend contacting Julia.

Piedmont Food and Wine, and particularly Julia, arranged a spectacular day exploring the Barolo and Barbaresco wine regions. Her knowledge of the wines and the region, and her friendly and engaging personality made for a wonderful experience. We’ll be back !!

Hi have been sending through email concerning wine tasting trip on 9/6 for 2 adults. Havent got a reply yet so would like to know if it is better to ask here
Wonder if truffle hunting can be done in one day ? Thanks
Written 18 May 2019
The truffle hunting event we recently enjoyed lasted about three hours in total, so you could have truffle hunting mid-morning followed by lunch and then one or two tastings in the afternoon. Hope that helps.

We went to a couple of great wineries near Alba. I would strong recommend Costa Di Bussia. Great wine. Julia from Piedmont Food and Wine took us there and can find you other great places as well.

I was wondering if you are able to get appointments at Gaja because I know that really no one is able to. It is my girlfriend's favorite (and first) wine, I was truly hoping to surprise her with a tour here if it's at all possible.

Hi, I've been trying to get in touch w/ you via the email address on your website but haven't heard a response yet. Is this a better way to communicate? We are a family of 3 from the US (2 adults, 1 child - 4 years) and interested in a cooking course (pizza or local menu) and possibly private wine tour for high-end wineries. We have been on several wine tours so our tastes are a bit discriminate. Please advise. Thank you. Our dates are 30 Aug - 1 Sept.
