Piedmont, Italy: The home of Nutella, bold red wines and the Slow Food movement, Italy's Piedmont region is the stuff of (very good) dreams. Some of Italy's most impressive wines (Barolo, Barbaresco, Barbera, Dolcetto) and foods (white truffles, fritto misto) are produced in the northwest corner of the country, beckoning appreciators of fine dining to visit. Consider a bike tour with girlfriends; a scenic and calorie-burning way to see Piedmont's rustic towns and countryside.
