October weekend idea - Wine and Truffle season in Piedmont
Olga PS
October is the best time to explore Turin and its surroundings while enjoying the white truffle season and Italian autumn šā„ļø
ALBA, ITALY ā This city in the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy takes gastronomy very seriously.
Michelin-starred restaurants lurk around every street corner. The Slow Food movement, which champions the use of local produce and time-honoured cooking techniques, has its headquarters in the nearby town of Bra. The aroma of toasted hazelnuts and chocolate from a Ferrero Rocher plant on the edge of Alba, hangs over the region.
The interest in food grows especially intense in the fall, harvest season for the Alba white truffle. (NY Times)
Iāve put together a perfect plan for two days visit, including
š„š„ Turin gems of local food (breakfast, lunch, aperitivo, dinner and bars)
šļø Shopping
š¼ļø Museum you might be interested to see if you are here for the first time
š· Wineries
šSpots for enjoying truffle
š¤·š½āāļø Explaining why you can take the truffle hunt off your list
Turin and surroundings has much-much to show, and Iāll be creating new ultimate guides very soon.
Or you can text me in private, and I will help you with your visit itinerary.

How to get here?
You can land directly in the airport of Turin or get a fast (or slow, but cheaper) train from Milano.
While walking around Turin, you donāt really need a car as public transportation and taxi is well developed.
However, going to the wineries and truffle spots requires a car. You can rent it or get a service with a driver.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Olga PS
Hey, lovely Tatchers! My name is Olga. I'm an expat living with my Italian husband in š Haarlem, Netherlands.
I can call myself a travel gem hunter and a professional Google pinner, as I can spend hours just googling around the map of the city where I go, searching for places to check out.
According to a recent Instagram research, my first passion profession should be opening a restaurant (I looooove cooking), and on a second place (drums), I should be creating my travel guides, as all of my friends and friends of friends ask me for travel tips in cities, where they know Iāve been.
Iām also obsessed with finding the fluffiest pillows in the hotels, the most exciting art shows and galleries and the most hidden speakeasy š
So if youāre searching for actual hedonistic pins in:
šRestaurants
šBars
š Art places and events
šHotels
šRooftops
šWineries
Weāre going to be friends :)
