Nestled between vineyards and hills, this northern Italian region sets the stage for celebrations that feel grounded, joyful, and deeply personal.

Here’s how to plan a meaningful event in Piedmont—whether you’re saying “I do” or simply saying “let’s celebrate”—with a focus on what really matters: good food, great wine, and music that brings people together.

The Perfect Setting for Any Celebration

From rustic vineyard estates to elegant villas or a charming agriturismo, Piedmont has venues for every style and size of gathering.

Weddings: Romantic hilltop locations, vineyard ceremonies, or lakeside vows.

Whether it's a cozy birthday lunch with local wine or a multi-day wedding with music and dancing under the stars, the landscape elevates every moment.

Food that Brings People Together

Piedmontese food is meant for sharing—and celebrating. Build your menu around local flavors that delight every palate. 

Start with Antipasti

Salumi, vitello tonnato, and local cheeses like Robiola and Castelmagno.

Main Courses:

For weddings:

Tajarin with truffles, agnolotti del plin, braised beef in Barolo.

For birthdays:

Grilled meats, seasonal vegetables, or wood-fired pizzas for a relaxed vibe. 

Desserts:

Hazelnut cake, Bunet, panna cotta—or a layered birthday or wedding cake made with local ingredients.

Don’t forget late-night bites like focaccia, cheese platters, and Piedmontese street food favorites!

Raise a Glass: Wine at the Heart of the Party

This is wine country—your drinks should reflect that.

Welcome Drinks: 

Serve Alta Langa sparkling wine or a fresh white like Arneis.

Or you could serve a Limoncello Spritz.

INGREDIENTS:

2 parts Limoncello
1 part lemon juice from good-quality lemons, preferably from Amalfi (!) or organic
Zest from a lemon (again, organic is best!)
3 parts Prosecco
1 part sparkling water (the bubblier, the better)
Ice cubes
Mint

HOW TO MAKE IT:

Fill a glass with ice.
First pour the Prosecco over the ice, then add the Limoncello, and finally the lemon juice.
Add the sparkling water (like Farris or a similar type).
Grate a bit of lemon zest on top for flavor and decoration.
Stir gently and serve!

Wine

Meal Pairings

Barolo, Barbera, or Dolcetto for reds; Timorasso or Gavi for whites.

Dessert Wines & Toasts: 

Moscato d’Asti or Brachetto d’Acqui add a sweet touch to celebrations.

Some venues even allow you to choose wine directly from their cantina—ideal for both casual birthdays and elegant weddings.
