Free Webinar: How To Enjoy Wine, Food and Travel
In Piedmont 's Barolo and Barbaresco Wine Country

One of the best ways to decide which Italian region is the right one for your dream holiday is to talk with someone who knows it well and look at her pictures.

In this free webinar with Mama Margaret on "How To Enjoy Wine, Food and Travel in Piedmont 's Barolo and Barbaresco Wine Country", through listening to her fun, informative talk and looking at her 40 photographs, you'll discover:

• How to immerse yourself in real local life by having fun with local people, cooking country dishes with chefs in their kitchens, drinking top wines with the producers right in their cellars, relaxing and slowing down to a sweeter life of long ago.
• What gastronomic treasures this fertile land offers you
• Three levels of fine wines to enjoy (more wines & grapes than Tuscany)
• Three examples of her favourite wineries to visit with some fun, inspiring stories
• Some wonderful local people you can get to know
• What you experience in a cooking & wine tour in Piedmont
• Mouthwatering examples of antipasti, pasta, meat and dessert dishes in Piedmont
• How to go home weighing the same---walks in the magnificent wine country hills
• Medieval castles that intrigue you and take you back in time
• A country lunch and slice of life with a delightful, unusual farming family
• How to enjoy Alba and its truffle fair, especially a hilarious, medieval donkey race
