He and his mother already knew Italy.
Their request was clear: 10 days in Italy, skip the usual tourist spots, dine exceptionally (focusing on local gastronomy in small towns only), visit the Ferrari museum, and introduce his mother to the vineyards producing her favorite grape varieties.
It was Specialité who suggested including Piedmont, a region still unknown to them.
We reorganized the itinerary to arrive via Turin and depart from Florence. The journey took them through Turin, Alba and the Langhe hills, Bologna, and Montalcino in Val d'Orcia. In Alba, we arranged a white truffle hunt with trained dogs, a cherished local tradition. Our team carefully selected restaurants and wineries, handled all reservations, and distributed experiences throughout their available days.
For accommodations, we chose comfortable, well-located options aligned with their priorities. The itinerary wove together gastronomy, wine, and countryside landscapes, with ample time for mother and adult son to savor each other's company.
Our concierge team curated a selection of restaurants beloved by local residents and identified smaller, family-run wineries. We managed reservations and purchased advance tickets for attractions requiring them. Throughout the trip, we monitored their journey daily from afar, providing seamless support to ensure everything flowed perfectly.
