from the Ensenada/Valle de Guadalupe, Mexico episode

Filming in Valle de Guadalupe, Mexico was on my to-do list for a long time, so you could imagine how excited I was when Josh reached out to help make that dream a reality! As a tour guide he knows all the ins and outs of the Valle and Ensenada, from world class restaurants, amazing bottles of Nebbiolo, to some of the best roadside fish tacos you'll ever have! Of course there were some hard days along the way but it's nothing a bottle of Côte Rôtie couldn't fix! Come along with Josh and I as we talk behind the scenes of filming and remember why the Valle and Ensenada are so special!

LOCATIONS

from the Piedmont, Italy Episode


TURIN

Turin is the capital city of the Piedmont region, and feels like a metropolitan town. It's a great town to spend 2-3 days in at the start of your trip to get acclimated to Italy!

Alba in Piedmont

ALBA

While Turin is the capital of Piedmont, Alba is the heart of the wine region. It's smack dab in the middle of the surrounding vineyards, and is the home to the world-famous annual white truffle fair!

PIO CESARE

Our featured winery of the region, Pio Cesare, is family owned and one of the most iconic producers of Piedmont. They paved the way for many of the wineries that came after them, and are a must-visit in the town of Alba!

Barolo in Piedmont

BAROLO

The famous wine of Piedmont, Barolo, is named after a tiny little commune with a beautiful castle. There's not much to see in town besides the views, but around the town is a bunch to see and do!

VISIT THEIR WEBSITE

BARBARESCO

The other famous wine from Piedmont, Barbaresco, is named after another small commune with a medieval tower that you can go to the top of!

Monforte d'alba in Piedmont

MONFORTE D'ALBA

This often visited town in the Piedmont region is worth an afternoon for the sweeping views and quaint shops.

SERRALUNGA D'ALBA

ANOTHER hilltop town, but this one may have been my favorite. The views are great, the architecture impressive, and we found the cutest restaurant for lunch that was delicious; "Il Flauto Magico - Vineria con Cucina"!
