PiemontE Wine Tour
For Friends of Etto + Giornata
NOVEMBER 10 - 16, 2025
Welcome to PiemontE, ITALY
Steph and Brian Terrizzi have teamed up again with Leslie Rosa of La Dolce Vigna Wine + Culture Tour Co. for an adventure in Piemonte! This week-long tour takes you to the heart of the region’s viticulture and gastronomic tradition: the Langhe. This fog-kissed, undulating landscape just a couple hours south of Turin is the home of two of Italy’s most sought after red wines — Barolo and Barbaresco — not to mention the Slow Food movement, a myriad of medieval castles, the elusive white truffle, and a proud and hearty cuisine. To top it all off, UNESCO recently included the Langhe on their World Heritage List for vineyard landscape. Andar per Langa — to wander along the region’s ridges — hence means to lose yourself in the stunning scenery, to savor the land’s rich bounty, and to appreciate a slower, more humane pace. It’s all about the journey, my friends.
“My wife and I just returned from a week-long Piedmont trip with Leslie. We are not group tour people. We prefer to explore on our own at our own pace, but if every group tour was like hers, we’d do them exclusively. Fun, informative and relaxing – you can’t find a more enthusiastic, well connected host.”

MEET THE FOUNDER OF LA DOLCE VIGNA
“Leslie knows how to plan a trip of a lifetime!”
Ciao! My name is Leslie Rosa. After a decade of working in the art world for eminent institutions and artists in New York and London, I moved to Italy, fell in love with the diversity of Italian wine and became a certified sommelier with the Associazione Italiana Sommelier.
As an art-curator-turned-sommelier, my passion is to create immersive experiences and itineraries in which each day tells a story and offers an in-depth look at the history and culture of a particular region through the lens of wine.
When not leading tours, you can find me doing pop-up wine tastings, writing for the Slow Wine Guide, or getting lost someplace beautiful with my travel watercolor set!
