"Don't go to Tuscany. Go to Piedmont!"

Yes.

A friend said this to me several years ago and I still went to Tuscany — again.

But then I finally listened and traveled to the Piedmont region of northern Italy.

And kicked myself for not going sooner.

Piedmont has everything that Tuscany has — but more.

Charming hill towns. Check.

Rolling hills dotted with grapevines. Check.

Delicious food. Check.

Tasty wine. Check.

Intriguing history. Check.

And big, snow-capped mountains. Check!

That's something Tuscany doesn't have.

Give this episode a listen to learn about the incredible region of Piedmont, Italy.

I'm betting you'll be ready to pack your bags when you're finished.
