Culinary
Adventures
in
the Italian Alps
Join us in the Alps of Italy's Piedmont region and
discover what locals have always known. The Valle
Maira is a gem.
Piedmont boasts not only Alba and the Langhe, but
also Valle Maira, one of the wildest and most
romantic valleys of the entire region. High above
the rusted-modern day pace of
nearby cities of Turin and Cuneo, Piedmont is also
the region best known for it's famous Barolo &
Barbaresco wines and truffels.
Our vacation features one week of culinary
enrichment in the quiet mountain village of
Morinesio, with time in between to tour the valley
from its highlands and mountains to the nearby
wine country. For those interested in joining us
for meals only, the region is rich with
breathtaking views, landmarks, and world class
hiking trails from your door.
Hosted by Casa dei Fiori, a newly restored complex
of traditional stone houses, a communal kitchen is
the meeting place for most meals. Private guest
rooms feature all of the contemporary
comforts.
Your day begins with a slow breakfast- no
television, telephone or computer in sight. By mid
morning or early afternoon we welcome our chef of
the day, and begin preparations for a hands-on
cooking session, featuring historical insights and
practices which have been passed down within local
families for generations. All recipies will
feature products from the local market, and
vegetables will come fresh from the garden. A
delightful meal leaves room for either a later
siesta or a peaceful walk through the maountain
trails of the village.
Excursions to the market provide opportunities to
visit the city's fine shops and cafes and courses
also feature:
The week includes cooking classes, accommodations
