Travel competition Win a twonight holiday to an Italian wine region

The winner and their guest will benefit from Untold Story Travel’s insider access to this rustic and picturesque region of northern Italy, enjoying a private truffle hunt (Piedmont is the best place for it) led by an expert trifulau and his dog through dense woodland, as well as a guided hike through the undulating vineyards. Here, the travel designer’s little black book will come into its own, unlocking the otherwise off-limits wineries of the UNESCO-designated Langhe-Roero region for crisp glasses of Piemonte wine and local cheese.

After days spent ambling through this bucolic landscape, low-key evenings in Castello di Guarene – an 18th century castle and one of the region’s most handsome hideaways – will feel like a treat. The winner and their guest will stay in one of the classic rooms – gilded guest rooms decked out with thick drapes over the huge beds and frescoed walls – with Italian buffet breakfasts of cheese, cold cuts, local fruit, cakes and pastries available each morning. The palace is set in extensive gardens which are a quiet space for afternoon reading or even a snooze following Untold Story Travel’s experience-driven itinerary.

This prize is valid until 31 December 2021, including a £400 budget to cover return flights from London Gatwick or Stansted to Turin, and complimentary transfers to and from the hotel.

This competition closes on 10 September 2020.
