Chef Mark Estee partners with Modern Adventure: Piedmont
Traveling to Piedmont has never been more accessible until now…
The flavors linger in your mouth. You’ve tasted a perfectly crafted glass of Barolo in its birthplace, and tasted rare regional cheese made the old-fashioned way, with hard work and a passion for tradition. Now, you step onto a terrace and look out at the expanse of vineyards, noting the shades of green that paint the hillsides and Alps in the distance. You’ve met local producers and tasted sparkling wines harvested from nearby vineyards, truffles sniffed out by dogs as you cheered them on. Despite the endless array of food and incredible company, this trip has been a lesson in slowing down. For as much as the Piedmont way is to preserve the local ecosystem, flavor and tradition it also keeps the memories alive.
With you on this seven-day Piedmont adventure is chef Mark Estee. He’s the Food Network star of “Undercover Chef,” and the local-food pioneer transforming Nevada’s food scene with award-winning restaurants that showcase what’s fresh from local farmers and ranchers. It is Mark’s nod to his own Italian heritage—he travels frequently to Italy—and to the simple pleasure of his grandmother’s cooking.
If you crave good food, beautiful scenery and a fresh take on food culture, this trip is for you. We’ll go deep in the birthplace of the Slow Food movement. We’ll meet the producers keeping centuries-old traditions alive and, at every turn, savoring Piedmont’s unforgettable flavors.
