PieMONTE Wine + Culture Tour FOR PRIMA VINI
Seven Days | Six Nights
October 7 - 13, 2024
Welcome to PiemontE!
PRIMA has again teamed up with La Dolce Vigna Wine + Culture Tour Co. on a special upgraded tour of Piemonte’s viticulture and gastronomic tradition: the Langhe. The fog-kissed, undulating landscape that is home to Barolo and Barbaresco, white truffles, a proud and hearty gastronomy. This trip is mainly for those who have traveled with us before and are coming back to enjoy some of the greatest hits as well as explore new, special experiences. We’ve amped up the wine budget for the tour, which includes a premium case of “homework” wine from Prima, and there will be a focus on older vintages during our meals and tastings when possible. We will have a great week andando per Langa — wandering along the region’s ridges — basking in the stunning scenery, savoring the land’s rich bounty, and appreciating a slower pace.
John Rittmaster of PRIMA and Leslie Rosa of La Dolce Vigna will be your guides for this extraordinary experience. We will be finalizing the itinerary in the coming months, but you can check out this sample itinerary and rest assured that it will be amazing. We hope you can join us!

Meet Leslie Rosa, Founder of La Dolce Vigna
“Leslie knows how to plan a trip of a lifetime!”
After a decade of working in the art world for eminent institutions and artists in New York, London and around the globe, I moved to Italy, fell in love with 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.
La Dolce Vigna Difference
Small Groups. Our tours are always limited to a maximum of 14 people to assure you an intimate experience.
Sommelier Guides. You will always have a certified sommelier guide to answer all of your wine-related questions on the road.
Family-Run and Historic Wineries. Our tours are centered around small, eco-conscious, family-run wineries that make truly outstanding wine, and packed with cultural insights.
Foodie Central. Be prepared to eat. A lot. We've picked out amazing spots for you, from the small, loved-by-locals osteria to the Michelin-starred restaurant
No Cookie Cutter Tours. Depending on the season and local events, we will custom organize the best and most insider experience for each group.
All-Inclusive. Rest assured that your tour price includes all meals (except for one meal), activities, hotels, transportation from the moment we meet until our fond farewell.
Down Time. For those of you who have been on other group tours, you know what we're talking about. Part of living la dolce vigna is taking the time to truly savor your experiences and surroundings. We've built in time for you to do just that at your own pace and on your own terms. Long live slow travel!
Helping others. Besides helping the local, artisanal economy through visiting small wine and food producers, eating at traditional trattorie and staying at intimate hotels, a donation on behalf of each individual that takes one of our tours will be made to 10,000 Gardens in Africa, a Slow Food initiative aimed at cultivating sustainable and healthy communities throughout Africa
