Always includedWhat I Do
A vineyard house has different needs from a village apartment in Alba. Base Care runs in the background for every property I look after; everything else is added only when you want it.

Langhe Experiences
The Langhe is UNESCO World Heritage, the home of Barolo and truffle, of Michelin-starred kitchens and ancient cellars. I open those doors for you.
"Not the tasting room: the cellar, the family, the story behind the label."
I arrange private tastings at estates across Barolo, Barbaresco, Langhe, and Roero, through relationships with winemaking families I've known for years.
À la carte"Your dining room, someone else's kitchen brigade."
A private chef takes over your kitchen for an evening, or a full day of hands-on Piedmontese cooking, from tajarin to bunet.
À la carte"An evening that doesn't have to end at the car park."
Airport pickups, dinners at Michelin-starred tables, long afternoons moving between wineries: I organise the driver, the timing, and the way home.
À la carte"Arrive, and the fridge already knows you."
Before you arrive, I stock the kitchen with what the season is offering. Tell me once what you love, and I'll remember it every time.
À la carte"Follow the dog, not the map."
A morning in the woods with a local trifulau and his trained dog, tracking down the real thing rather than watching someone else do it. We finish with a tasting of truffle products on the way back.
