Between April 27th and May 3rd, I traded my everyday landscape for the green hills of Piedmont, Italy. Although I arrived via Turin, my heart was set on the Langhe region, between Barolo, Barbaresco, and Alba. I rented a tiny, two-door, six-speed Fiat 500, which nimbly took me through vineyard roads, past castles, and medieval villages. It was off-season, which made it easy to find accommodations and restaurants at all price points without any complications.
