About This Trip
This road trip is a love letter to Italian flavors and slow travel. It starts among the rolling vineyards of Piedmont and follows a delicious path east toward the Adriatic Sea. Days are filled with historic towns, long lunches, and market stops. Ravenna’s mosaics glow in soft light, Rimini smells of fresh piadina, and in Alba, a glass of Barolo tastes especially good after a quiet camper night. Evenings are unhurried—parked near vineyards, olive trees, or just outside town. A journey where food, culture, and freedom blend effortlessly.
