Discover Piedmont with SlowDays

Tailor-Made Journeys of Nature, Taste, and Authenticity

When you think of Piedmont, what comes to mind? The rolling hills of the Langhe, the vineyards of Roero, the historic wineries of Monferrato—or perhaps the unmistakable aroma of white truffle? At SlowDays, we turn these dreams into reality, offering custom-designed trips showcasing this extraordinary region’s very best.

We are a small tour operator, deeply rooted in the territory and with a profound knowledge of it. You won’t find pre-packaged tours or overly touristy experiences here. Instead, we offer authentic immersion tailored to your needs and desires.

The SlowDays Philosophy: Living at the Right Pace

We believe every journey should be lived slowly, savoring every moment. This is the essence of our SLOW philosophy. Whether you’re cycling through vineyards, hiking the trails of Valle Maira, or enjoying a leisurely lunch overlooking the Barolo hills, our goal is to provide authentic and never rushed experiences.

What We Offer

1. Custom Cycling and Trekking Trips

If you love active travel, we’ve got you covered.

• Tailored routes: We design bespoke maps based on your skill level and preferences.
• Full support: We offer luggage and bike transportation services and logistical assistance throughout your trip.
• Flexible itineraries: Choose between multi-stop accommodations or just a few strategic stays for a more relaxed pace.

2. Authentic Food and Wine Experiences

Piedmont is world-renowned for its cuisine and wines. With us, you can:

• Join a truffle hunt led by expert truffle hunters and their dogs.
• Taste artisanal cheeses and hazelnuts directly from local producers.
• Visit carefully selected wineries to sample globally renowned wines such as Barolo and Barbaresco and discover lesser-known gems like Piedmont’s aromatic whites.

3. A Local and Genuine Approach

We collaborate exclusively with local suppliers who share our passion for quality and hospitality. Whether it’s a farmhouse tucked into the vineyards or a small family-run winery, each experience is designed to offer you warmth and authenticity.

4. Total Flexibility and Personalization

We know how important it is to adapt to your needs. A clear budget helps us propose the perfect mix of comfort and authenticity. Often, the most straightforward experiences—like a rustic lunch at a countryside farm or a guided walk—are the most memorable.

Our Destinations

• Langhe, Roero, and Monferrato: UNESCO World Heritage hills, rich with vineyards and picturesque villages.

Tailor-made travel, trust a local!

SlowDay Tours are all tailor-made: Why? We do not have catalog tours with predetermined dates and minimum and maximum numbers.

How do we work in our office? We start preparing your tour when you write to us and ask for information about a day in the Langhe for a specific date and a certain number of participants. We open our magic box containing the ingredients and prepare the quote for you with the best opportunities for that date and the number of participants.

What are “the ingredients“? You can make the bicycle, the Vespa, the horse, lunches, dinners, winery tastings, hazelnuts, trekking, and many other activities in the Langhe, Roero, and Monferrato!

We scout them out for you and then blend them with particular attention to timing, distance, and your needs.

While you are booking, you also tell me that you have some time obligations, that there are people who will only do part of the tour, and that some component has particular allergies to consider; well, all of that is part of your tour.

When all the ingredients are ready, we also add our “secret” ingredient: The map to get you around, the guide to everything unmissable, and a pinch of pride in having you as our guest.

Over time, our clients have taught us composition techniques: Take several tours and spread them out over a few days. Add overnight stays, and you and your group will have a perfect vacation.

Please create your trip. I give you a few suggestions, but you then create your travel itinerary on our website. Customized trips, the right ones, are the ones you make and compose in your own time and taste.

This package, don’t deny it, is good! Do you know how many tailor-made itineraries you can book with SlowDays? An amount that is hard to calculate!

You can do the same exercise by mixing our Walking Tours, choosing from our Wine Tours or Food and Wine Tours page. You can add one or more days on horseback.

Each tour presents different formulas so you can choose the perfect combination to meet your preferences and budget.

Hi, I’m Claudia, and I’m the soul of Slowdays, the one who goes around discovering the hidden goodies and testing the quality of the experiences for you. Who will organize your trip according to your needs to make you find out Piedmont you don’t expect! And I’ve been doing this for some time now (I’ll leave you this article if you want to get an idea of Tourism in Italy: SlowDays already did it).

However, my personalized tours, or those in the catalog, always arise from love and deep knowledge of the territory where I was born and lived.

The tailor-made tours that I have created for clients who have relied on SlowDays have left us with smiles, words of encouragement, and emotions, which are the drive to improve more and more for my group and me! Because the most beautiful tailor-made trip is the one, I will create just for you!

Let’s say that I am also very advanced. I live in a beautiful place, so I’m leaving with more points. But it’s also true that the Langhe, a Unesco heritage site, has many facets, and I want to help you to pick the ones that best match your characteristics. And with your travel pace.

A personalized tour comes from the union between my knowledge of the territory and your tastes: I will shape what I know to adapt it to what you are looking for and what you need in that particular moment of life! So come on, the more you tell me about yourself, the more the result will be guaranteed!

The Langhe, Roero and Monferrato are our specialties, but we like to go further to make you live in this wonderful territory in a complete and rich way. The Langhe and its surroundings can also be a starting point for other discoveries, always off the tourist track and that will turn into unforgettable moments!
